My Diff Is Shot And Need To Source Another One

[Ricos]

Hey guys,

Long story short....

My car has been at my mechanics and i got him to check out my clunking diff. It appears that my gears in my diff center are completey rooted and i either need to find

a) new gears so i can get it rebuilt

OR

b) a second hand diff center i can get refurbed

Im going to try the obvious like wreckers etc, but ill only be able to get a diff center as they wont pull one apart.

Does anyone know if i can get these "gears" so i can get my diff rebuilt or where from?

The diff dude we sent my diff to said that he can get them but there is like a 3-4 weeks delay cause its coming from Japan.

If anyone is able to help me out or point me in the right direct with advice on what i should do that would be great.

Should i just get a second hand diff from another R33 Gts-t

After driving home from work and making a few calls it seems the stock diff centers are not so $$.

i can get one from a wrecker for about 220-300

Ill just do that....

Please feel free to del this post

From the sound of things you like having a little too much fun in your car.

So instead of re-conditioning you std diff why not take the opportunity to upgrade to a mechanical LSD, something like a 1.5way Kaaz or Nismo. This is just the center, you'll still need to change the drive gears.

Or you could find a 2nd hand diff assembly that already has a mechanical LSD diff fitted.

Nope i dont have fun in my car at all. Sorry to dissapoint you Al

I bought it and the guy said it had a locker. Hence the clunk around corners, parking, pulling into driveways etc. But i noticed it getting worse over time...so i told my mechanic to get the POS out cause its annoying as all hell and he sent it off and its NOT A LOCKER. It appears to be just a very rooted diff center.

So i just want the stock LSD in which is the path im going to take.

And in other news. I dont even drive my car unforunitly, due to P plates. But i get off them in about 4 monthss!!!!!

you can have my stock diff centre for $200 if you come pick it up... I have a Cusco one now... I changed it because of its habit of single spinning... but it was smooth, no clunks or anything
