The Abomination: [Wtf033]

Good to see things are still happening with this car nick

Cheers mate, keen to get this new diff in and get back out there and use it for what I built it for, lining people up down Queensland Raceways front straight

[Captain Natro]

With the help of my old man on the weekend we managed to make a decent effort at getting this rear end pulled apart on The Abomination

The worst part of the whole job was getting this sucker off, the other side came off so easy and this took 20 minutes of flogging with a hammer lol

We did eventually get the old four stud rears off:

Old shit house 3.58 viscous LSD out:

The new 4.11 2 way is fully bolted in and connected to the tailshaft but I didn't get any pictures. Next step is to fit up the five bolt half shafts and pick up a pair of rear 5 stud hub assembly's (also looking into a Hicas eliminator kit/lock bar)

Good to see things are still progressing mate.

You gonna clean up the diff and replace the wheel bearings or just put that in the 'CBF to do right now basket'?

[Captain Natro]

That's a pic of the old diff, the new diff has just been reconditioned with a cusco centre (purchased off Mr Noel about 3 months ago, it was the one #@SCR48 wanted)

Still dirty you got it lol

Ok so after multiple months off the road The Abomination is finally mobile again and out terrorising the rough streets of Gatton lol.

*note the new clear indicators (awwyeah! )

Also ran into a few issues during the upgrades:

*new brakes didn't match old brake lines and decided to get a local brake store to make up new lines. After a week they call call me back and tell me they can't get the parts it (complete bullshit but whatever) ended up pulling a set off someone wrecking a 33 gtst

*After picking up a pair of rear hub assemblies I get them home and start putting them into the car only to realise one of them is from a Gtr and lacks the correct Hicas and suspention mountings.

*I return the hub and receive a replacement and then later on I find out the hubs bearings are stuffed and have about 6mm of play in it (which nearly made me crash the car) ended up getting new bearings and it all pressed back together.

*went to refit my old rims and they no longer clear the calipers (which sucks cause I really liked them lol) ended up buying a set if lenso d1rs in white and red, but they looked like aids so I painted them black

Went for a cruise yesterday for about 2 hours, the new 2 way with the 4.11s feels amazing, no more nasty cam holes or peg legging. Couple knocks and clunks occasionally at low speed but nothing terrible.

Can't wait to grab a set of et streets and head out to willowbank

You failed to mention putting the half shafts in the wrong way

[Captain Natro]

You failed to mention putting the half shafts in the wrong way

After closer inspection the half shafts were infact in the right way, due to the bearing in the hub being f**ked out it was actually sitting out of the housing stopping the half shaft from going through completly.

[Captain Natro]

Sick skid .. I havent just read this thread for an hour and a half..

I thought I recognized the car in the first few pages before you got the plates and then when I saw the plates I was like "hey i've seen that car!!".

I got a couple of shots of you at the Willowbank Happy Laps on the 31/08/14 on my page Illuminated Designs.
