Hey all.

I am picking up a R33 VLSD this afternoon and am looking at getting it fully rebuilt,

eg, bearings, seals, shim plates, and anything else that needs replacing as i want to eventually put 300kw thru it.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a diff specialist on the sunshine coast area or northern brisbane area,

if there is no one on the northside i will probably just go to dan at ERD.

Any advice on good workshops would be apprieciated.

thanks Ash.

Diff laping at Kedron has been in the game since Jesus played full back for Jerusalem...

Charlie and the team down there do alot of work with sprint cars, top fuel and monster trucks so they know a few things about holding 8000hp or more...

Didnt know Dan rebuilt diff's?

Col do you know if they do gearboxes as well? I swear mine will need to be rebuilt in the next 12 months.

sometimes I think I bought a lemon but considering only one coil pack and the diff has gone it's been pretty reliable seeing as I bought it 3 years ago.

they rebuilt my 1973 LJ torana box from scratch, many of the parts had to be made in shop as you cant buy them anymore...

they had to machine a new speedo drive and everything, cost me $700 back in 1999 considering the hours labour I was impressed with the cost...

Rev did you have problems with your diff before the re-shim? I ended up picking up H@me's 2nd hand diff and taking it to Dan, I don't think my diff would of survived the drive down to ERD to be honest.

Col I agree with you those costs are impressive, when the synchros get a bit more worn I'll look at rebuilding it, will definitely be getting a quote from Diff Lapping.

thanks for the help everyone

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
