Hey guys i've got a r32 gtst got a 2way coming in the next 2 or 3 week but want to weld my diff now. It's got a viscous lsd in it now can this diff be welded? If so where can I get it done in melbourne in s.e suburbs, or any 1 with a locker that wants to get rid of it or swap. Cheers

Welded diffs are not fine they are very dangerous!! not to mention uneven and two times faster tyre wear, tyre squeal at low speeds (cops will know you if they are behind you) of no benifet on the street. The list goes on.. Do it the proper way hey..

Don't be impatient. Wait 3 weeks for the new diff and do it properly

Welded diffs are evil. (and illegal)

U sure it's a viscous diff?

100% this is my 2nd r32 and in my old one I think it had a n/a skyline diff welded and that coped it all day every day and it held up good, I'm sick of it single some times only

anyone good with a welder should be able to do it. If you need the diff pulled out as well then look in VIC section for workshops and start calling. You will prob be looking at over $500+ so may not be worth it.

i got a weldy its fine kents who dont know how to drive cant handle it.

having said that i wouldnt recommend it for a daily but its certainly do able. as for tyre wear as if you dont get that from been lowered/camber anyway.

a welded diff and an idiot is dangerous

a welded diff and a driver with even half a brain is totally safe

this man speaks the truth.

    • 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.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • 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.
