would a welded diff lock up under fast deceleration like the 2ways do??

also those people who have welded theyre skyline diff how long has yours lasted before leaving you stranded???

ill be doing this soon with a 320 odd rwkw r33, my current diff is too unreliable, breaking traction sometime/ sometimes not etc the usual probs.

lockers can be 1-way, which means they only lock under acceleration. a welded diff is always locked, of course.

I wouldn't do it to a car if I cared about the handling, you'll find yourself driving around the diff. but then, with 320rwkw you're probably having most of your fun in a straight line anyway :thumbsup:

i had a shithouse aussie borg warner diff that comes factory with r31 skyline

filled it with weld

worked for 3 years and was still working when i sold the car

2 of those years with a 240rwkw rb30det driving it

welded diff can be good provided the welding is done well

drift, yes.. it's reversing it across 4 lanes and into a telegraph pole I'm worried about.

you have to be a very sensible driver when you've got a locker. of course, many would debate my sanity in having ZE-326's fitted on a locked axle anyway..

sorry to bring up an old topic.....well not really i need the info.

scenario is im sick of single spinning and losing power out of corners soooo... 2 questions

1. how much, and where in qld/sunny coast can i get my diff welded...can anyone do it?

2. is it possible to transplant a r31 diff into a s1.5 r33. why? the r31 diffs can be minispooled :down:

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 馃構
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
