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.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
