Its easy, Jack the car up and put some car stands under it.. have a bit of a look. Unbolt 1/2 of the tail shaft first... then unbolt the flanges either side of the diff (there will be 5 bolts)

Once you do this, Look at the back of the diff, and there will be 2 bolts, unbolt them. The diff will still sit in as there is 2 more bolts supporting it up the front. Un-do this bolts, but dont completly undo them, then if your strong enough, hold the diff into place with one hand, and undo the bolts with the other hand, and slide if foward. The diff will then come out... and your done. Hope this helps

Its really easy

I put the stands on under the chasis rails behind the diff area mine go quite high so it was about a meter off at the back. first remove the exhaust pipe, mine had a flange just in front of the diff and then remove breather, then, with hand brake on, loosen all the bolts on the drive train (5 each side of the diff and 4 on each end of the 1/2 tail shaft) I took off the bracket that crosses under this shaft to make it easier to remove it, and remove 1/2 shaft. Then the 2 bolts at the back are really hard to get at, I ended up putting the socket on the nut then putting the extension in to undo them and when you get to a certain point take the socket off and undo by hand cause you cant get the nut out with the socket on it!!! then I put a jack under the diff undo the fornt two bolts and push it forward while lowering it. Getting it back in is tricky but not difficult if you have some to help, I didnt and it took 3 goes. Rassemble is not complicated as the parts are self aligned. If you need any more help PM me.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
