I'm sold on the quaife front diff on a BNR32.. Right now I'm driving a OEM rear diff which is , most likely, 25 yr old! I have a ATS 1.5 way LSD lying around ( I put it for sale but no one bite the bullet yet..). Should I install this diff or sell it and buy a quaife in the rear OR just run the oem one ?

thanks!

I'M afraid the cost of rebuilt will be close to the cost of the Quaife ( seems like tranny shop are are in my area so they charge a lot knowing they have the ''monopole'' no shit.. its like 1000$ to rebuilt with the 300$ kit..)

im not sure where your located cobrAA but I have found myself in nearly the same situation..

I currently have a quaife front diff and a standard rear diff which im sure is not doing as a good a job as it could.

I spoke to Award at seven hills and they will re-shim the standard diff to make it tighter for 400ish dollars from what I can remember them telling me.. you have to pull the diff out yourself though.

In saying that a quaife rear would be the way to go based off how good the fronts are

Yeah so unless, I find a great deal on a quaife rear diff, i will buy the front and put the used ATS 1.5 there . thanks

Few people use the Quaife rear - most use the Nismo or recond stocker (or can you get Kaaz at a good price?)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
