Those who have brought aftermarket diff's Kaaz or Nismo

 

Where did you guys end up sourcing it from?

 

Nismo cheapest i can find is RHDjapan

 

Kaaz only from MD spares in Aus

weld the f**k out of it

Moh how long you going to USA for?

 

have you got a "Don't shoot I'm not black" tshirt

if there on the 9th Nov remember to have a oh crap Trump got in/didn't get in anti riot kit.

 

If I was a visitor there not sure which would be worse, trump supporters celebrating or protesting..either thing will involve guns.

I got my KAAZ centre from eBay

Such a beautifully predictable diff

Speaking of, aside from the loud road noise, I can't speak highly enough of the Federal RS-RRs as a bargain tyre. They are definitely soft; already got some burnt rubber near the edge of the side walls after some spirited laps through the mountains, but the grip on hand from a $180 tyre even on the smaller 245 tread is sensational. Left a knee down 600cc bike for dead on Sat...he wasn't slow! Really like to try these at the track.

Talking to richo he agreed...untill you some proper heat cycles then they go off, just like the old ones.

 

SO great for street as they don't get to track temps. but not so good.

 

what they have been testing out on the BMW was the nagkang NS-2R and having great results at 140 a tyre, (think R888 quality not A050)

going to grab some when back on track.

Might try them next, particularly if they are quieter than the Federals, but I think at beginner speeds/laps I wouldn't be unhappy if these only lasted me a couple of track days and 5000-10,000km of street driving. We shall see.

Also loving my Shockworks coilovers, which in spite of feeling firmer, dispense bumps in the road much more predictably than my previous setup when pushing it.

$1.4k off ebay for a Kaaz

$1.1k for a nismo from japan + shipping + GST

 

I remember Kaaz used to be a fair bit cheaper

I paid about 950 from memory, perhaps 6 years ago? That was a trade price, from Jackie Chan / CP motor or whatever, and for the 1.5 way.

I've heard nismo and KAAZ are much the same centre. Perhaps as KAAZ built a name for themselves, like Kumho tyres they got more expensive?

Try Jesse Streeter

Yeah about $1.3k through Jesse for a Nismo

You work for a place that rebuilds stuff like diffs right? Same same to repair a kaaz and nismo? Heard sourcing and replacing parts for Kaaz would be alot easier

Used to...we didn't do many rebuilds of clutch pack LSDs, just your average Commy/Falcon shim job. If you're talking clutch packs then the KAAZ should be cheaper to source parts for. Again, they may use the same parts as the Nismo? They last a long time though. No rebuild for me yet; I do change the diff oil often though (every 10,000km or so).

nah m8 ford 9inch diff m8

Used to do a lot of these conversions

We had bolt on solutions at one stage, axles disc brakes calipers and all. Just unbolt the rear and install.

From what I've seen it's the "tolerant" left more inclined to be violent in their protesting

What a load of "poor-me" conservative facebook comment section horse shit.

Let me guess, the left media is opressing you too by holding back the silent majority?

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
