Hey there russ, rob, ken, anyone else...

Ken - I got enough backlash in my rear diff that I should get it attended too. Had the car on a hoist at a local performance shop the other night to check it out. I was told that it was prolly something to do with a spacer type thingo (sorry cant remember exactly) that would need to be replaced inside the diff where the tailshaft connects. I think it is compliments of a lack of experience launching the car from the one time I went to the drags.

Anyway - to cut a long story short - can you tell me where to go?

Yep can do but your wife has already done it for me...

Is the diff noisy?

The spacer thingy is probably the crush washer for the pinion bearing.

My advice is to just turn up the radio a bit louder. Removing , o/hauling and while it's apart , replace the clutch packs , carrier bearings , reset the preload etc then the figure will be in the $1300- $1500 region.

Get a 2nd hand one and be ready to throw it in if you run out of radio volume.

Cheers

Ken

My driveshaft needed 3 new unijoints when it got here, they were all fubar'd and made the car vibrate. Place in osborne park machined them and replaced them for around $360 all up. Driveshaft Balancing I think the name was.

One of the few places I know is Diff and Trans in Jolimont.

Know a few tailshaft mobs but they are not diff rebuilders.

Thanks guys.

Ken, there's no noise, & I think it was the crush washer that they were talking about. I wouldn't care about it except that I was told it could cause excessive wear on the crown wheel (I think that's what it's called).

But then again - drive it till it breaks then get one 2nd hand for around $500 bucks I reckon.

In conjunction with what.

Std they are around 200-220 hp at all 4 . Would be surprised if just a puter made that diff.

Cheers

Let me know if you stumble across a diff in your travels Ken - if you see one for the right price it would be worth me buying for when either of us have a need for one :D

I gotta spare , it's in the ricer.:D

Actually ,C Red have a few for around the $800 mark and I think they may even have a 1.5 or 2 way.

Cheers

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
