Make me the third. Mine whines when coming off throttle or rolling in neutral. Fairly annoying, thought of just buying a second hand diff and housing and swapping it over. But then how do I know the next one wont do it too. From what I've been told they can whine if the gears dont mesh together properly. So if the gears are worn there is play in the diff, hence it whines when not accelerating. I've been thinking of trying a different oil. might help a little. Any thoughts????

i got the same problem. As the speed increases the whine gets louder. I got myself another diff for $300. Havnt put it in yet, but wen i get the time ill put it in, and hopefully all works out, and i refilled the new diff with penrite diff oil. I heard that aint bad either.

Rip the diff out, get the bearings replaced and the crown wheel/pinion checked and the clearance adjusted.

Done.

how much would that cost to get a mechanic to do it?

also how much do u think it would cost if i rip the diff and send it to the mechanic?

cheers

Most likley they will charge per hour.. Around 75 bucks an hour by most mechanics..

Maybe worthwhile if you bring your car into the shop and let them check it out and rip it apart..

Let them find the problem first, and then go from there.. Could be just a simple fix..

For a complete reco for the diff in my R31 skyline (bearings, seals, crownwheel and pinion) and removal and fitting was it was $950. I am kicking myself for not doing it.

It is actually quite a easy job to reco a diff if you have a basic knowledge of tools. The only special tool you need is a dial indicator to do the back lash and a oxy torch to heat the crownwheel up to put it on the diff centre. You will also need a torque wrench to test the limited slip diff. You will also need to mesh the diff properly, that info can be found in those gregories car manuals or on the internet.

taking the diff out isn't that hard. unbolt the drive shafts, unbolt the shaft coming from the gear box. and then there are two bolts at the front to remove, and i think 2 or 4 on the back. For $950 you could buy a 2-way, or 1.5-way.

for a gearbox shop to just have a look/listen they probably wouldn't charge you. but i spose different places may charge. anyone recommend a gearbox/diff shop? in brisbane

my 31 diff whined, as they do, especially after a number of skidpan days.

used synth fluid and some diff addative (lucas i think) from supercheap, and it was sweet.

addative is cheaper than a new diff. I had a 2nd hand reconditioned LSD centre put into my 31 for $500.

just keep a spare diff on hand.....

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
