Quaife or Nismo front, same again in the rear and extra few friction plates in the transfer case, commonly known as "the transfer case mod".

Prob looking at $1800 ish to do the front, around the same for the rear and $600 for the transfer.

^parts prices only, right? The quaife front LSD goes for around $1850 without install or bearings or seals.

The setup Piggaz has suggested would give a great setup for OPs application though.

Was also thinking a billet centre plate in the gearbox is not a bad idea. This would prevent shock loading and shaft separation in the gearbox on hard launches at Collingrove. I see you're in Adelaide - feel free to contact us if you'd like any further info.

Centre plate is for the gearbox. No need to change the other gearbox internals if they're working and you're not making spastic power. If eother of those are not the case, then you have a bazillion different upgrade options out there, ranging from $100 for different oil to $20k for a special special box.

who does the transfer case mod in Sydney?

What's OPs application?

OP's purpose is "Hillclimbs mainly and the occasional time attack ", OP.

I'd also leave the box until you need to change it, and when you do get a dog box in there for the quicker shifts :)

Jimmy anyone can modify the transfer case, it involves adding the correct number of additional clutch plates to preload it. Award did mine.

N00b question , what is this center plate upgrade?

The stock centre plate of the RB25/6 gearbox can flex in high torque, high grip situations such as aggressive launches or high speed cornering. When it flexes the shafts (mainshaft and countershaft) come out of alignment and the gears destroy each other. The billet centre plate improves case rigidity. It's basically a full rebuild to install, so would be done with a bearing and seal refresh as a minimum, check synchros etc.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
