im thinking of getting my 32 diff welded so its always locked and its my daily but is all the storys true that it can snap. knocking noise when taking full lock turn. ?

or to get a 2 way which is hard to find in 6 bolts ?

If it's your daily and you're worried about all that stuff, then just shim up your stocker.

Or..

Don't be a pussy. My 32 was daily driven with a button clutch and 2-way for a couple of years.. good times :ermm:

Try driving an N/A, RWD, 1 tonner V6 Rodeo.

That thing comes with a locked diff as standard, chirps out something mean and is an utter death trap in the wet! In the dry though that thing is awesome fun.

I'd say your mild manned N/A would be safe with a cheap weld!

i assume you mean to say it has a factory fittled LSD.

Locked diffs are illegal for street use, so i highly doubt your car has a factory locker. (reason being, they promote understeer when small throttle inputs only are applied.)

Imagine that nanna jenny gets in her hubby ute... she goes down to the shops but being elderly and irratic in her driving she comes straight off the throttle and turns hard and late at the first corner she gets to... now if there is no throttle then how is the inside wheel going to break traction to spin at constant speed with the outside wheel when turning.... it wont. it will want to push the car in a staright line.... see what im getting at.

this wont be the case in all chassis or road conditions. both my 33s have had locked differential and i have not had those problems but in other chassis it is a problem.

But it may well be a very tight lsd. Most decent four wheel drives and utes come standard with or are available with a farely heavy duty lsd.

+1

definitely heavy duty lsd then haha

yup. and its sooo much better than having a 1 tonner with an open center...they see a hill or some grass and just cock a leg and go nooo where.

yer of corse. many cars would be useless without lsd but from factory the lsds start to lock up upon acceleration.... not deacceleration.

track cars... yer grab a 2way lsd or a locker. in a drift car its good for obvious reasons and in a circuit car you usually getting ready to get back on the power by the time ur at the apex. also there generally isnt trees or power poles at a race track lol and u have better rubber on the car so the front has half a chance at fighting understeer. (but better rubber at the back can also increase its tendancy to 'drive straight' if rear is locked.)

by 6 bolt does it have 6x1 or 3x2 pattern?

cheers everyone.

thats very unlucky for ur mate.

yes its 3x2 .

and so what if its non turbo big deal your car might beat me on a straight but "Men with guts attack those corners!"

yeah just checked mates his welded diff has been fine.

because a 1.5 way is not predictable to a 2way or, welded always predictable.

A 2 way (even a tight 1.5 way) will push the car into understeer. A locked diff is worse. Much worse.

That is nonsense A 1.5 way is as predictable as a 2 way. It also allows the car to handle a whole lot bettr because the diff doesn't have the same propensity to lock on the over run.

Bottom line: dont run a welded diff on a road car. Not only is it illegal, it is dangerous.

honestly, i have had a car with a welded diff, and i have driven a number of other with them, and i never had a problem with it on the streets )apart from the skipping noise when doing a tight turn around cops ;))

i do however agree that a propper 1.5 or 2 way is 100 times better, but i'd rather have a weldy than a single pegger!

as long as you are aware of it, then there should be a danger, just dont give the car to the mrs ;)

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
