Hey Guys

Have looked around and have found RMS Motor Parts to be the best priced for purchase and install so far.

Can anybody recommend or even comment on these guys.

I got quoted $1290 for the diff and about $250 - $350 to install.

Where are you getting it fitted?

I think I saw you drive past the other week.

I work on the same street are RMS Motor Parts.

Henry is a top bloke.

there's a place about 50 meters from RMS which is where I got mine fitted.

they did a good job.

Well i've had my diff if for a day or so now, it is ssssoooo chattery >_< , when turning feels like I’m actually losing speed, you can feel it through the whole car. I hope it's not like this forever. I have to go up a 6 story car park i could her the diff echoing off the cars.

Sorry to sound like an absolute no-brainer but could someone give me a paragraph or two on how a diff works and what makes it good? I've been told to invest in one but have no idea about them so I need to do some research first.

Thanks guys!

hahaha yea thats what im talking about.... there are the good points, then there are the bad points. for everyday use its just unneccessary. some ppl get used to it, but i aint no drift bunny so im not really gonna use it to its full potential, so i actually just put mine up for sale!

Yeah I’m willing to give it a little more time I spent to much money to not give it a go. Anyway I can’t stand single any longer. You also had a 2 way which in my opinion is not really practical for every day.

Give it 1000 klms, then change the oil for the best Castrol Diff oil.

the sound will decrease markedly.

then give it another 1000 klms, change oil again, less sound.

Mine is GREAT now.

I've changed oil twice.

I'm assuming both the kaaz and tomei should be pretty similiar in nature then?

Being chattery, unfriendly to drive daily?

HRthirtyone and the97skyline, can you guys elaborate on some annoying daily situations?

I drive my R32 with twin plate carbon ATS clutch. I find it actually very streetable. With a 2 way, do you guys find it fustrating driving in parking lots, or driving up hill in intersections turning while in the rain?? :yucky:

Thanks guys!

This info really helps me out choosing a correct lsd for my application

I’d say yeah they are very similar. I only have a 1.5 way but am still in the running in process. But at this stage I have only done like 200 K with it in. So its still very chattery, its realy loud when going up the 6 story carpark and the chattering can be felt through the car.

This is the worst it’s been as it’s a very tight car park and always having to be on the throttle. But cruising around its not that bad as bass said now his diff is very smooth and by the sound of it his done over 2000k in it.

Once the running in process is done and its done a few thousand k’s I think mine will be sweet.

Look the chattering is not present but it’s a part of buy an brand new Kaaz LSD anyway. I’ve excepted it now and can’t wait to really enjoy it on track, drift, skit pan days. >_< Hahahahaha Hope this helps

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
