No no no, it was HIS mechanic.

Well, the problem is that it has just scared off my most promising buyer so far. He just rang today and told me that he doesn't want to buy it now, specifically because of the diff. There was no convincing him. I really need to sell it, I move down to melbourne for uni 3 weeks. AHHHH!!!

It tends to happen at about 80km/h+ in 4th and 5th. Doesn't really happen when accelerating.

Yes, but the thing is, when will it blow?

I haven't personally changed the oil, but I've only owned the car since July last year. I just want to get a realistic idea of how many k's there are left in it. Edit: I've got 212,000 on the clock by the way.

I want to see this too, where else can I get it from?

I just got my car back from a mechanic after someone interested in buying it booked it in. This mechanic tried to tell me that the diff could last between 500km and 5000km, the buyer was there too by the way. Now my brother also has a skyline, but his diff whine is so much louder than mine, and has been so for far more than 5000km without getting any worse. How can this guy try to tell me that i have as little as 500km left in my diff when I've been told by other mechanics that it could last forever? Is this just a ploy between the mechanic and buyer to get me to lower the asking price? Oh, and how much would a replacement diff?
