Kaaz if you're prepared to invest $$$ in it, otherwise a spool. Mini or Full.

The stock LSD Centre isn't much to write home about. You can have them rebuilt, but the cones wear pretty damn fast.

Is it an auto or manual diff? If auto, it has the 3.9 CW+P, you can go to pintara 4.11 gears,

if it's a manual, you can go to either R31 3.89, or piny 4.11.

You have to have it all apart to do a centre, so may as well do it once.

There's VL Turbos running 8's on slicks and 28 spline axles, so for a big power 30DET... personally i'd run a full spool and OEM axles (Moser billet axles aren't too expensive) and 4.11's depending on the gearbox. You're setup may like 3.89's.

Just my opinion. Hope that helps.

Just an FYI... OEM axles mean the stock ones. OEM = original equipment manufacturer. Your reply sounded like you thought it might have been a brand or type.

If you're on you're third diff... maybe a set of moser axles would be the go for you. Get a 31 spline spool and matching set of mosers, with a 4.11 CW+P, would be pretty much unbreakable.

And you'll be getting a tailshaft made for the 25 box, so may as well get a bulletproof shaft done as well.

VL LSD is still cone type, which, even when rebuilt, will wear out pretty quick, and you're back to square one. Been there done it. Not worth the trouble.

My recommendation is still a spool, stock axles, and gear ratio to match.... KAAZ LSD/Harrop true-tracs's are at least $1200+, probably another $500 to fit... plus all the other consumables like bearings and seals, and a CW+P if you wish to change that too.

You've got a $2500 diff by that point. Mini spool for $75, $100 on bearings and seals, leave current CW+P and have it all assemble and cleaned up and be under $1k

I ran this exact setup in my R31 track car and it was faultless..... came out and was sold when I transferred my running gear to a HR31 coupe and is still running great.

Up to you now where you want to spend the $$$

Unsure if pintaras were release in NZ, but you can buy the CW+P's cheap enough on ebay that even if you have to have them lapped and cleaned up, they're still worthwhile. Seen them for around $200 + post.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
