my right spins when im turning right (in a drift or something), im thinking my diff is ****ed :P

straight-line and full left and a bit to the right it locks up 2 wheels great but as soon as i start turning a bit more to the right during a burnout (on private roads) it open wheelers :( thats a ****ed diff right?

if diff is rooted, how much is a mech 2-way?

mine doesnt do that but did the weirdest thing the other day..

I was going up a small driveway on an angle (low front bar) so my back left wheel was on the driveway and my back right was still on the road.. i accelerated a bit.. and it wouldnt move.. like i was in neutral

never done it before.

I just reversed back a bit, back into drive and it was fine. Weird.

I don't get how the subzero TRY09s car can have the stock diff, while people keep screwing up theirs. Not trying to say you can't drive, but i just don't get it

Quite easily, the drive shafts have been strengthened and it only goes hard in a STRAIGHT line, most wear on diffs occurs when turning and drifting and especially when combining both by doing donuts...on private roads to be cool to ya mates... :thumbsup:

if its single wheeling when you turn i'd think your diff was pharked.

my old lsd (3 diffs ago) would LSD if i went left, but if i went right, it would single wheel - HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. I changed the diff oil, it helped a little, it lasted about 1.5 years until it completely gave up the ghost... at times it was a bit dangerous as it was completely unpredictable, it would lsd, single wheel, then lsd etc... hated it.

then i went to a minispool... that was cool i liked that, now i have a locker. They are real tyre f**kers tho, tires do not last long even when driving normally.

But yeah i think you should start searching for a new diff =)

Mechanical 2 ways are nice !! but $$$$ hehe. good luck with it.

My friend came back from Japan with a mech 2 way diff and sold it for $800 - $900... hehe cheap cheap. i see them go for around $1000-$1500 tho = I'll have to ask him if he can get another for a decent price.

thanks mate

sorry to dig up my older thread but, the reason that it died is because i dodged an accident a while back and hit a kurb with the back wheel (straight on so there was no damage to suspension or anything, but i ave had these problems since...

i baked a set of tyres on the weekend and i think it finally knocked my diff over... im getting weird noises and it open wheels left and right (its raining here at the moment its really dangerous :)) hehhe

a 2-way would be my dream... is it hard to put in yourself? i heard its about a 4 hour job...

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
