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

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
