well lockers have no give, the main thing with a diff is when you corner one wheel spins faster than the other so the diff has to allow for this, lovckers and really tight lsd's don't and you'll get a bit of wheel skipping, which with a locker is more pronounced the skipping is basically the wheel trying to match the speed but fasiling, twisting the axle, and then the axle saying no more twist and it skips to untwist a bit..

and lsd doesn'ty cause the axle to twist, well as much anyway, so there nicer on driveline bits..

lockers are tops for direct hookup tho, which is why you'll find drags cars run spools, which is basically a locker, and a lot of RWD racing cars run them..

paulie not yet *touch wood* if i drove the car every day id say i would have by now, rex acxles arn't very big..

luckily every car ive driven witha locker is mainly a track toy so it doesn't see the normal sort of loads a daily car would, lots of car parks would bust axles fairly regurally id guess.

Aidwin - yeah they are really cool guys become friends with them over PAS .... they want me to come down to Willeton to visit when ive got my car back :D

haha i was tired .... it was funny cos this morning paul's muttering woke me up but i thought i was home and it was my mum saying something to me so i go "yeah right whatever" then open my eyes and took a while to figure out where i was

what tha? NO but she'll normally open my bedroom door in the morning and say something like "im going to work see you tonight" orrr "can you remember to put the bins out" or something like that. Thats what i tohught it was!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
