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?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
