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.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      I didn't know about induction heaters but checked them out and they look awesome but too pricey for the occasional job like this. And I'm too nervous to take a flame anywhere near there as the petrol tank is so close, although I was intrigued with the crayons suggestion 😁 I filled a coke bottle lid with penetrating fluid and raised it on the jack so the nut was submerged in it all night. Then went in with a tiny cold chisel and got it almost to the point of splitting but not quite (I didn't want to damage the bolt threads). Then I hammered a socket back on and gently worked it until I felt movement. And it's off 😀

      I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
