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.

Ken - I'm gonna check out Gav's mines ecu on sunday & will prolly be doing a deal with him. He reckons it gave him around 300rwhp on SST's dyno.

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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
