just shagged my daily ke30 corolla's diff. Just wanna weld it up! Has anyone done it and if so how do you do it? I have the diff out but i'm just not too sure what i need to weld, the centres out and ready to go! Pictures would help too!

depends how bad its shagged, u probly cant use it any more. the idea behind welding, is to stop the side/spider gears turning, so weld them up nice and solid. if u understand how ur diff works, u'll soon understand the principle behind welding side/spider gears. if u dont understnad, play around with it till u do. dont forget the usual speel, its illeagle and dangerous for street use. understeer on the way in, oversteer on the way out :P

fill it with bolts and nuts and washers etc, and then put as much weld in there as possible.

...then put a rotor in it and try to take a corner at 30kmh... brap brap brap...crash ..crumple..hospital.. beep .. beep.. beep... beep.

LOL

Sorry not taking the piss out of your post but I've seen so many people make "full sick" street cars out of old sardine cans with stupid powerful rotors....

I don't know about putting nuts and washers in etc. I realise you need to fill it but if the ke is a stock engine spinning up 30kg of nuts and washers everytime you put your foot down is gonna make that thing SLOW as, and it probably won't break 5kg of weld stuff...

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
