G'day Neil - how have you been ??

Not sure if you'll be interested, but Unique have a diff upgrade fro around $1200 I think. Makes it tighter etc... Or you may be able to find a 1 or 1.5 way for around $500 which may be less you'd pay for a stock rebuild..

Not sure how much it'd cost to fix up the stocker.

Neil - I think there is a place in Wahrongah (near Hornsby) that can rebuild them - Called Wahrongah clutch & diffs or something like that -

Forget the 1 way - go the 1.5 or 2 way - UAS has Tomei ones on their web site -

Pretty pricey but.

Maybe powerplay have got a good deal going ?

only thing with the mechanical diffs (as Jody will confirm) is they are pretty grumpy and noisy.

If thats not a problem they are *definately* the way to go

If not you can apparently get extra shims added to the standard LSD style diff to get it to hold tighter as well. By all accounts the stock locking pressure is pretty mild even when it is working OK.

Yes I have a 1 way... VERY clunky... but you can learn to drive them quietly I have been told... I'm getting better, but means another thing to think about... and they SUCK in car parks!

BUT...

They Kick ARSE on the track totally!

Thanks for the reply.

I want to keep to standard as possible, I hear all the time people say when they buy other diff's they get noisy and clunk a fair bit..

Just throught getting the old one recod. would be safe..

regards

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
