i use to have a S2 rx7 with a welded diff and i used it as a daily, was not much different to a single spinner or lsd, just chirped on tight turns and made a lot of noise in multi level car parks with a shiny surface, got pulled over a few times by the cops and they never picked it, would be unusual for a cop to spot a locked diff.

A mate also had an r31 with a spool and that was much the same.

just mini spool it, will never break pick em up off ebay for $90 or so and there legal :)

Since when are mini-spools / spools legal?

And in which state?

I've always been under the impression they were illegal.

definitely not legal but i drove my rx7 around for a year and go pulled over a couple of times in industrial areas at 2am and nothing was ever said about it.

My 33 lsd has shit its self, do they make mini spools for 33 diffs?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      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.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      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
