So i scored myself a screw in my semi's lastnite.

and went to put on my space saver. which leads to a shit sound and slight jerky driving. i take it off after about 10km to next servo where i buy that foam crap. which in the end doesnt work too well as i have more problem than just a screw, i couldnt put space saver on front as i thought it would cause similar problem to front diff

question bieng would have i scored any damage to diff? i thought it would be better to f**k a rear diff than the front. if it was to happen!

isnt it better to slap it on the rear of a 4wd car rather than the front?

One of the guys in Adelaide i think shagged a front diff doing this...

thats what i did. put it on the rear.

tho now thinking about it all.

i probably could have put it on the front and removed the fuse for the attessa system

yes, that is what I would do. but in reality it's never going to be good no matter where you put it.

that foam shit is a very bad idea. it can clog and destroy your valve, and it can be a bitch to clean off everything. and to top it off it doesn't always work.

i don't think you would have busted the diff by just driving 10 km. I'd imagine that since you noticed it driving weird, you would have been going slow? If so, the diff would probably be ok (since it tries to match speeds of the wheels, if 1 wheel is going 30km/h, and the other is going 29, that's not as bad as one going 150 and the other going 130).

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
