Sorry to hijack this thread, but if you do decide to go for a mech diff, or anyone else out there has an acceptable condition stock diff they would like to get rid of I would be very interested.

As a bit of a background, my diff has a very unpleasant whine which has been diagnosed as a crown wheel and pinion which needs replacing. Will be $250 to fit which is fair enough but Nissan have requested an arm in advance and a leg on pickup to supply me with these parts new.

Therefore, if anyone has access to these parts or has an entire stock diff they would like to sell please PM me as i would be very interested.

someone said mech diff wont work with ABS... is it true?

Also anyone heard of Kazaa diff (local)? They cclaim to be quiet and u can retain ur stock diff casing just swap d internals

My mechanical worked fine with ABS. You might have a problem if you change the whole diff casing with one from a car without ABS as the sensor for 3 channel ABS is at the diff.

The amount of clunking you get is controlled by how tight the diff is, a mechanical diff *only* locks under power so if you stay off the accelerator it doesnt clunk, that can make it easier to live with day to day.

And finally you can and should just swap the diff centre, much easier.

Dunca, is there a certain type of diff that is easier to live off on daily basis,

e.g. 2 way versus 1.5 way versus 1 way? Or is it just a matter of staying on/off accelerator no matter what diff type above?

Also gts-t vspec, how's that Kazaa diff center going and how long ur mate has it? I wonder how these local products compared to things like cusco. Price i believe is much cheaper and quite tempting.

    • 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.
