hahaha lol here gos the oil wars.

nice trick with the selector rod would of taken me a while to think of that. yeah run ol the mill 80-140 is the go. synthetics (some) break down

oh? back lash is usually done but the side bearing washers. doing the pinuion height isnt really a job for doing under the car

Wooo Hooo!!!

2WAY! 2WAY1 2WAY!

the diff is in and feels fantastic.

I have just finished fitting my nismo sss 2 way. i bought a center and fitted it in my original housing. it was a bastard of a job but was well worth it.

Getting the diff out from under the car only took 45min and was easy apart from the bit where i dropped it on my little finger... then getting the center out of the housing was impossible till i decided to use a bench vice. smartest thing i did all day then out with the viscous, remove the crown wheel (also very hard) and swap it on to the new center.

next came the spacers either side of the new center and putting the new center in the housing was a bit fiddly then getting the 1/2 shafts in was an absolute bastard... i got the short one in 1/2 an inch and it got very very stuck...

about 65 bashes later it was back out and i noticed the c clip in the new diff was too wide to fit with the 1/2 shaft thank you very much mr nismo...

after figuring that out they popped in with small taps. i put the end caps on and filled the diff with 1.5 litre of penrite 80/140 synthetic and limslip additive.

gooped up the rear cover and fitted it and had some lunch.

fitting the diff back in was as easy as taking it out and it was done!

took the car for a drive and noticed immediately the difference... it does not skip in car parks or tight turns but you can feel the difference cornering even at low speed turns.

the car now under steers accelerating around roundabouts but i can deal with that that's what you get with a 2 way.

This is not really a job i would recommend for your ave ridge backyard mechanic but is doable.

the preload on the diff is perfect as is the backlash. seeming as i was quoted $700 to fit the center i am happy i was able to do it myself

Nice.

What brand 2way did you go with?

My stocker GTR diff center thats been tightened up feels awesome. SO SO much more grip on corner exit.
