think of it like bedding in brakes... I did this for 30 mins straight away then binned the oil and used motul comp 75w150

Ok cool, thats easy then... will be going for this after I do the bedding in:

Yep, this part I've got down pat...

What I'm wondering about is how crucial is the low speeds and how many km before I switch out the oil for the first time. Considering I'm using a "used" crown wheel, is the low speed stuff mainly to protect that if it was brand new?

Or would higher speeds affect the new LSD Center as well...

Did your diff come with running in oil or are you to supply your own? If the latter, put an LS 75w90 in there and do the figure 8s for 30 minutes. It's easy and self explanatory...you will feel the diff loosen up as you do it.

Low speed driving is so the diff bearings don't get cooked. Avoid long drives and driving above 80km/h for the first 500km. Then swap out the oil after 1000km and put Penrite LS 85w140 in. This is the friendliest oil for a street driven 1.5 way; your car will shudder much less around low speed turns using this.

Note that the shuddering is the LSD doing it's job by locking the axles together and them breaking free of the clutches/discs.

Edit: or can use the oil Hamish recommended...the Penrite is only ~$40 for a 2.5 litre though

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Miguelone and I rebuilt the lsd center of a 2nd hand diff from a Non-Vspec 33R with new Nismo clutches, so no, it didn't come with running in oil.

I'm running in the discs with Nulon Fully Synthetic LSD Oil 80W140

Diff bearings were in fine condition, so they've been kept. (does this mean I don't need to worry about keeping it under 80km/h at all?)

Bought das6 pro. Man this shit takes a lot longer than a rotary. At work I could have finished this car in 3 hours. <br /><br />Took 9 hours instead. But it was a single stage paint and layer was fairly thin. So I didnt want to take off too much paint. So no heavy cutter. Gave it a nice coat with 22ple as well. <br /><br />Whatd u do to the 300c? Like stage wise. Did it have a ceramic clear coat?<br />

where u work? those 22ple type products are hard to remove aren't they..i haven't tried them yet, have been meaning to, im still an old fashioned carnuba fan :D

I have a rotary as well, you're right its heaps quicker use it for big panels mainly..the little one is good to have for everything else though..seems like the das6 and 900 are the only small buff options we have in that price range...everything else is 400$+

300c was well scratched up...it had been through an auto brush wash most of its life...could well be ceramic it was tough paint...just a 2 stage buff on it.got 80-90% of imperfections out....still took 9 hours cause the size of the thing...lol

Youll be surprised... 22ple is like wiping off water. You just have to be really quick with it as it starts solidifying as soon as it touches the paint. So have to wipe it off after 5 mins. Stay one panel ahead. But its like wiping off water. Personally id still nuba it on top of 22ple. But 22ple is just so awesome you gotta have it. Basically having another clear coat thats really strong. And sheets real well. Expensive though...

I want the rupees big foot. Good buffer that one.

Are you using menzerna? Work uses 3M. I prefer menzerna a lot more

nah i meant removing it down the track when its hard..like in a few months....I will try it when i can...

yep still using menzerna, works well for 99% of jobs though need something a little tougher sometimes,,..used a big foot a few weeks back its a bit wild..lol...

was an old model and it wasnt variable speed though...does a good job but its a f**king jackhammer...my arms were going numb :laugh:

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
