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

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
