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?

Doing mine soon Col. Has already done Karen and Marc's. Good results!!!

indeed.

funny watching that car spin both wheels when coming up my driveway (karen driving.)

that diff has been doen VERY well and once I get to that point in my car he's doing it as well.

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

    • Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.
    • You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.
    • Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.
    • Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.
