Hey my diff is leaking like a SOB and I'm gonna take off the backing plate to try and seal it up again. Do they run a gasket or siastic?

And is the backing plate easy to take off? Are the axles mounted in the backing plate and is the backing plate mounted to anything else under there?

Sombacisly my question is does it just pop off?

Thanks for your help.

Drain whats left of your oil, remove the backing plate, scrap off any glue/silastic/gasket on the surfaces, you can even give them a light oil stone if you can, wash teh surfaces with carby cleaner/ brake cleaner or another alcohol that dries clean, put a bead of blue rtv sealant on the diff backing plate, put it all back on and fill with oil

do the gtr's have a r200 rear diff..

if so when i put my 2way in, i got a new gasket from nissan. even at trade price i payed close to $90 bucks.

my thoughts are if your doing to do a job, do it once and properly.

Hey! Yeah I just went to Nissan now and the gasket is $83.07!! I'll still silastic the crap out of when i put it on. I also need to replace the seals where the axles come out from so the whole pumpkin needs to come out...

So remove exhaust, disconnect the drive shaft, disconnect the axles, 2 bolts ontop of the backing plate going into the sub frame then there is a bracket holding the diff up to the sub frame so disconnect them. And there is a pin up top holding the diff into the sub frame for extra support or something and the then just give it a wiggle back and front and it 'should' just pop out.... Just dont be under neath it!!

      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.

      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.
