I'd like to say I have a couple of friends have expressed their disgust with Southern Differential. For more detail you can PM me (to avoid any problems for the forum as it was not directly me having the issues). However the issues friends had were of the worst kind you could expect from a shop.

Award diff and gearbox services seven hills. yes sydney. I couldn't recommend anyone here for gbox work. After having a well known shop stuff up my driveline, the gbox specialist i took it to on the northside was no help, and the only way I ended up solving the issue was having the car trailered to award diffs in sydney.

Not happy with the level of service the "established" workshops give you here.

Intradesting.

Thanks for the replies guys.

A gearbox is really something I want to have done right.

I'm going to pull my box off and have a looksee and do my rear main, replace some bearings and realign my clutch and see if that stops the rattle.

I was considering having my syncros replaced but from what you have all told me and from some mates I have asked the last day or so I think I might be going on a little holiday.

I appreciate the honest input.

Cheers

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
