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 84zEtHv.jpg

We did eventually get the old four stud rears off:W1LxpTp.jpg

Old shit house 3.58 viscous LSD out: 8pdGxaq.jpg

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)

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! :P)

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

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.

Sick skid ;) .. I havent just read this thread for an hour and a half.. :no::wub:

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.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
