Ricos Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey guys, Long story short.... My car has been at my mechanics and i got him to check out my clunking diff. It appears that my gears in my diff center are completey rooted and i either need to find a) new gears so i can get it rebuilt OR b) a second hand diff center i can get refurbed Im going to try the obvious like wreckers etc, but ill only be able to get a diff center as they wont pull one apart. Does anyone know if i can get these "gears" so i can get my diff rebuilt or where from? The diff dude we sent my diff to said that he can get them but there is like a 3-4 weeks delay cause its coming from Japan. If anyone is able to help me out or point me in the right direct with advice on what i should do that would be great. Should i just get a second hand diff from another R33 Gts-t Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223368-my-diff-is-shot-and-need-to-source-another-one/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 From the sound of things you like having a little too much fun in your car. So instead of re-conditioning you std diff why not take the opportunity to upgrade to a mechanical LSD, something like a 1.5way Kaaz or Nismo. This is just the center, you'll still need to change the drive gears. Or you could find a 2nd hand diff assembly that already has a mechanical LSD diff fitted.

Sorry to dissapoint you Al I bought it and the guy said it had a locker. Hence the clunk around corners, parking, pulling into driveways etc. But i noticed it getting worse over time...so i told my mechanic to get the POS out cause its annoying as all hell and he sent it off and its NOT A LOCKER. It appears to be just a very rooted diff center. So i just want the stock LSD in which is the path im going to take. And in other news. I dont even drive my car unforunitly, due to P plates. But i get off them in about 4 monthss!!!!!

NickR33 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 you can have my stock diff centre for $200 if you come pick it up... I have a Cusco one now... I changed it because of its habit of single spinning... but it was smooth, no clunks or anything Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223368-my-diff-is-shot-and-need-to-source-another-one/#findComment-3935764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
