Hey,

well my diff started making a bit of a noise when i would first drive down the road, very soon after like with in about 15secs it would be on off with the noise and about 30secs later have no real noise at all,

so i decided possibly not enough oil? as it got a good coating it stopped making noise, but the diff also had a bit of a vibration i thought at higher speeds like 120 or maybe it was just because of the solid bushes i put on the sub frame,

i did a oil change, plenty of oil in there, but stuck to the magnet is a little ball bearing, like the size of a bb gun pellet, been sctrached up and there was a bit of sludge so i dont know how warn down it has gotten, im guessing it wouldnt have been much as when the outside of a bb goes it becomes very soft,

any idea's of what would run this size ball bearings? im guessing it could have something to do with the lsd (its a factory viscous R33 Diff), i really dont think it would be a bearing going for the drive shaft as its to small for that i feel, im going to pull the diff out today so hopefully i should have some more pics soon of what bearings it is,

if any1 knows what bearing this could be and part numbers etc to buy some more that would be good,

Cheers JV

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
