i got quoted $900 for a re-condition diff. I found that abit over-priced, so i just found my self another diff center, from the same model car, in my case a 32 gts-4. Was a bitch gettin out because theres a couple fiddly bolts to get off, and other shit u have to get of just to have better access to the bolts. But it was well worth it seeing i only paid $280 for the center.

Now i dont hear anything. :)

Hey I have heard of a band aid solution to fix diff whine. Someone told me once that if you put a bit of saw dust in the diff, that this will take up that bit of slop and reduce the whine.

Ah i don't recommend this and I have no idea what permanent damage it will cause. If I had a spare diff that I could waste I might try this just to see what happens.

Good luck with your repairs.

lol, banana peels in the diff housing is another one.

Shit 900 for a reco? I just picked up an unused nismo 1.5 way for that which comes with new bearings and output shafts and seals in addition to the center. It was a very lucky find as i only started looking for one a week ago.

ive done a track day and ad drag night and many oldroads and its staying the same lol

my case is similar, it onli seems to get louder after i dump then clutch and then after a little while it goes quiet again so i dont think its a major prob at the moment.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
