  18. I'll wait for Krishy to answer the last part of that, but yes we have put the RH shaft into the LH side off the diff and it spins the diff fine.
  19. Hoping we will find another way around it, but yeah its a bit of a pickle
  20. When you slot the LH half shaft into the diff when outside the car, pushed all the way in, it just free turns, and doesnt spin the diff. Whereas if you put the RH side half shaft onto the LH side of the diff it works fine. Meaning, when just the half shafts are in play, the LH still doesnt go into the centre far enough.
  21. The full driveshafts and diff housing are from a non ALSD R33...
  22. No, the A-LSD half shafts won't fit the aftermarket centre, so other half shafts were sourced by the person who installed the diff (I believe).
  23. Hey guys, rather than re post my thread, Im just going to link you to the thread I started in the SA forum. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/374658-diff-shenanigans/ Any help will be much appreciated!
  24. Hey guys, so those of you who attended Kadina Show'n'Shine would remember what happened to Krishy's car. If you weren't there or were too drunk to remember, he took off, changed gears, and then the car just free revved in gear. Upon further inspection, you could see the tailshaft was spinning into the diff, but no drive coming out. The diff, a Tomei 2 way 4.11, had been in the car for roughly 3 weeks, after being swapped into the place of the factory A-LSD unit found on some R33 GTS-t's. With the car jacked up, the LH rear wheel would free spin by hand, and the RH rear wheel had a bit more resistance on it, and would also turn the tailshaft. We drained out the oil, and saw nothing too major apart from some metal filings. Once out, the first thing we did was remove the cover, and much to our amazement, everything looked quite good and clean. Both of us were expecting to see major mechanical carnage. We pulled the half shafts out the diff, to find the teeth from the LH side were shaven clean off, but only on the very end, almost like the shaft didnt go in far enough. When we pulled out the other side, it became evident that the 2 shafts were different. Both had 29 splines, and both were the same overall length, but the length of the 'middle portion' is different. I'm assuming this is not meant to be? It looks like the shaft from the LHS wasn't going far enough into the diff centre, and has simply sheared off. The diff centre appears to be fine and in working order, apart from the metal filings from the shaft. LHS: RHS: Can anyone shed some light on this? It would be much appreciated PS. If anyone knows how we can clear the metal filings out of the diff, that would be a great help too
  25. The guy who bought my R32 gearbox had a C32 laurel. Have only ever seen that one. Not this exact car, but you get the idea. Pretty sure he said it was a VG20ET?
