Thanks mate. Will get a quote

I think issue comes with time...I've been put onto this to help counter the breakdown/corrosion/gumming

Haven't heard that...anyone had any experience with this?

well as soon as I have issues I will let you know but so far so good.

Having said I've put 98 in it for now.

When I put E85 this is the lubricant I put in to help the protect the engine

Thanks Anthony, great input as always, appreciate it.

On another note, quick question re front pipes:

Does anyone do a 2 x 2.75in into 3.5in front pipe??

HKS do 2 x 2.75in into 3.35in which is pretty fkn annoying :verymad:

Midori Seibi do front pipes 2 x 2.75 to 3.54 (90mm) if that helps

available in stainless or Ti (I am looking at the 90mm Ti myself)

Thanks again!! Don't know how I missed that one ;)

Mmmm the HKS one is about $160 cheaper compared to Midori Seibi.........

Do you currently have the ss Midori? I would be interested in it if you are going to upgrade to TI....

Fuel system set up is now ordered. Went through Julian @ Aftermarket Industries. Very helpful and from what I've heard very high quality products, should arrive after Christmas!

nah. I have Ti bro.

I would suggest also getting an aftermarket front diff when you put it in... The system munches standard ones :(

Thanks for the heads up Simon, appreciate it. Are you running it or have just heard of a few cases?

I have never had a front diff failure...has anyone out there had first hand experience with this? I'm wondering how much damage is done when they fail....?

If just strips or munches the diff gears and makes bad noises then I can live with that but if it's going to destroy the sump/diff housing as well that's a different story!! It would be dump not to upgrade while the motor is out now and save the heartache!

I see JustJap have the Quaife diff on their website for $1,800 which is no doubt not cheap...

Who has purchased one of the above and where was the best deal??

Bit of an update below:

Head off and will continue stripping

Final clean to do then acid wash

I've personally done 2 front diffs in the last year. I'm lucky they have just died but it's not uncommon that they can punch out of housing and take out the sump.

I would suggest a Quaife or go a Ruzic diff controller if you want to keep the stocker

what diff you put in Simon?

Quaife is by far the better option imo

Looking good, I have seen a few fail on the race cars, one ripped the diff housing off the sump :(

I got my Quaife from Palmsdale NZ, wasn't $1800 :)

If you are taking the valves out, get a spark plug socket with the magnet inside, sit it square on the retainer and give it a good quick hit with a hammer :D

funny you mention buying a quaife diff from Palmsdale as I got a quote from them and is costing $1700 postage not included

Sourced my quaife diff from power tune Australia cost me 1500 delivered

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
