I now realise mechanical diffs cop heaps of wear and probably won't last 30,000 kms.

I've been offered a salvaged one from an S15 half cut from Japan for $1000.

It's not a TT.

If I get it and give it to Award, will it be as new after they service it or do I have the risk of it only lasting a few months regardless.

I can get a new TT for $1850.

Please advise.

Cheers.

It really depends on the condition.

You can get the normal GT diffs for just over $1000.

If you buy this TT you will be paying Award $500 minimum to overhaul it.

So i think you would be better off buying it new.

If the TT was $500-$800 you "might' get a bargain.

Are you sure ?

Nengun price them both the same.

The TT is no more then the GT.

The only difference is the cam angle.

Here's a brand new Kaaz 2 way for under $1200 ( I think NIsmo ones are made by Kaaz anyway?)

Several second hand ones for around $600 - $700.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
