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...

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
