Has anyone out there done this by themselves??

Or know how to do it. What to expect etc???

As i have a 2way Kaaz lsd sitting here waiting to go on. Everytime i look at the rear cradle of the r33 i cringe. Is it a simple job?? Or should this be the first thing i pay someone to do??

Hopefully someone out there knows !!!

if you don't know what you're doing, best get someone to do it.

It's not technically difficult, but it's a pain in the arse, and most of the bolts have probably never been removed before.

Jack car up and support rear with jackstands, You have to unbolt the tail shaft, and both half shafts, then unbolt the mounting bolts for the diff. If you have hicas i think the hicas rack gets in the way, so u have to unbolt that also.

Make sure you support the diff with a jack, as it's bloody heavy, and don't drop it on yourself.

once you have the diff housing, you need to take off the end cover, drain the fluid, removing the side shafts from the diff can be a pain, have to unbolt the two thingos that hold the diff centre in, then pry centre out with a crowbar or something.....

then put it all back together, make sure you use liquid gasket or something to seal the end cover on the housing.. and put it all back together again!

perhaps not for the weak harted, though if you know a back-yard mechanic, probably charge u $100 to do the changeover. a workshop will probably charge 200 or so perhaps. (i asked a workshop out of interest how much to weld up my stock lsd, and got quoted $300 to remove diff and weld it up)

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
