Rebuilding R33 GTST Diffs

After the drift day I found out my diff (like all of the R33's that day) just didn't want to spin both wheels properly, no matter how much encouragement (or abuse:D) I gave it.

Now some people were looking straight away at locking diffs, but I got to thinking - all of the diffs out on the drift day must have been at least 80,000kms old and probably not treated too well and could more that likely do with a rebuild.

So I pose the question - anyone know of a good diff rebuilder in Perth?

Maximum traction and maximum control.

Normal diff will tend to spin up one wheel then kick out to one side a little.

2 way give an equal 50% power split to each wheel - hence better traction and ease of more consitant times.

A 2 way also won't kick out when it spins up the wheels cause both wheels have the same power and are spinning at the same speeds.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
