Have a look at the diff.

The old VLSD may be getting a little tired.

yeh i was thinking that too, but the car hasnt done many km's, so i hope its not that, ive treated it good, and its only done 70,000km..... what would be a good diff upgrade?

what exact model of tyres do u have?

if it spins third trust me mass, they cant be good

i got some new toyo t1rs, and although i dont have much power they are like night and day compared to my old tyres.

you dont really believe the odo do you

[mass_iv]

well i dunno, but my car is pretty clean Arup, and drives fine, id say it has around the 70,000km on the clock, by looking at the interior and the wear and tear its not bad, so i dunno how many k's but id believe it.... i am due for some new tyres, but its not just that guys, it spins them easy which is wat im trying to say, before the work was done i couldnt even chirp 3rd, i even struggled to spin 2nd with these tyres....

yeah your car is a very clean one, one of the best ive seen, i see what u mean, lots of extra power compared to before cant be bad!

i guess when u get your car back you will have plenty of fun frying your current tyres before u get some new ones

[mass_iv]

lol, i will indeed, just have to be carefull not to fry other things!!!!!

thanks for the comments, i think mine is a clean example... i have to take u for a spin soon Arup. Pete, you and i have to go for a cruise soon..

anyone know of a good strong/cheapish diff upgrade for an r33?

u can get a second hand 1.5 way for a few hundered bucks ring importers/compliancers..

[Cubes]

You can get the stock item shimmed. The cost is usually around $350. Not as good as the real thing but it is 1/3rd the price.

[mass_iv]

yeh i might wait and see though, should be fine...

[Cubes]

Is the condition known? The $600 1/1.5/2way second hand items have an unknown condition/possible rebuild.

$800-$900 second hand are generally a good second hand item.

Thats what I've came across anyhow. Obviously there are some good deals floating around, just need to be in the right place at the right time.

yeh i dunno man, mine seems fine for now, it was just a thought, cant really spend that money on a good working diff atm...

was thinking of working my gear box a little....

yeah i doubt the diff would be that much of a problem. best to save money for other stuff that might break.

either way, cubes, for you info you can get 1.5 or 2way kaaz lsds brand new to your door for $1150 with 2 bottles of oil, so i think 8-900 for a second hand is a bit on the dearer side

cheers for that Arup, sounds pretty cheap for a new diff..... ill keep it in mind, but i have more important mods that need to come first..... im thinking bout the bottom end now...

[mass_iv]

tuner just rang me and said he found 2 cracvked plugs while tuning today, had to replace them..... i have to say skylines are a hastle some times, he had to take the piping off 3 times LOL...

i cant wait till saturday.....

[Cubes]

I've had issues with cracked plugs, that was such a nightmare. I had the plugs out 2 times and couldn't see any cracks, the third I found one plug with a crack, the tuner found another 1.

Need to be very very carefull tightening the suckers up. Keep it 90degree's, I was lazy and left the cross over pipe on and used a swivel.

[mass_iv]

yeh i know he was telling me, he took them out the first time to gap them, then had issues later so he checked them out to find one cracked, then again checked them to find another one cracked.

[mass_iv]

hey guys, my car is finally back..... overall im happy, although there are a few more things needed...

the car is a little laggy, hits full boost at close to 4000rpm, which is the bad part from all this, but i have to say its a lot stronger....

the car pulled over 240rwkw...

which i think isnt too bad, with the standard engine and cams...

[R31Nismoid]

what amount of boost?

[mass_iv]

im running 17 psi at the moment, but i can change between 14 and 17, thanks to a dual actuator...
