Must keep the car away from air

at all times

think of it like bedding in brakes... I did this for 30 mins straight away then binned the oil and used motul comp 75w150

Ok cool, thats easy then... will be going for this after I do the bedding in:

Yep, this part I've got down pat...

What I'm wondering about is how crucial is the low speeds and how many km before I switch out the oil for the first time. Considering I'm using a "used" crown wheel, is the low speed stuff mainly to protect that if it was brand new?

Or would higher speeds affect the new LSD Center as well...

Did your diff come with running in oil or are you to supply your own? If the latter, put an LS 75w90 in there and do the figure 8s for 30 minutes. It's easy and self explanatory...you will feel the diff loosen up as you do it.

Low speed driving is so the diff bearings don't get cooked. Avoid long drives and driving above 80km/h for the first 500km. Then swap out the oil after 1000km and put Penrite LS 85w140 in. This is the friendliest oil for a street driven 1.5 way; your car will shudder much less around low speed turns using this.

Note that the shuddering is the LSD doing it's job by locking the axles together and them breaking free of the clutches/discs.

Edit: or can use the oil Hamish recommended...the Penrite is only ~$40 for a 2.5 litre though

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Miguelone and I rebuilt the lsd center of a 2nd hand diff from a Non-Vspec 33R with new Nismo clutches, so no, it didn't come with running in oil.

I'm running in the discs with Nulon Fully Synthetic LSD Oil 80W140

Diff bearings were in fine condition, so they've been kept. (does this mean I don't need to worry about keeping it under 80km/h at all?)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I never did...

I bedded it in for 30 mins, dumped the oil then went and ripped 300rwkw skids for like an hour

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

also i am not recommending this... just stating what happened

Bought das6 pro. Man this shit takes a lot longer than a rotary. At work I could have finished this car in 3 hours. <br /><br />Took 9 hours instead. But it was a single stage paint and layer was fairly thin. So I didnt want to take off too much paint. So no heavy cutter. Gave it a nice coat with 22ple as well. <br /><br />Whatd u do to the 300c? Like stage wise. Did it have a ceramic clear coat?<br />

where u work? those 22ple type products are hard to remove aren't they..i haven't tried them yet, have been meaning to, im still an old fashioned carnuba fan

I have a rotary as well, you're right its heaps quicker use it for big panels mainly..the little one is good to have for everything else though..seems like the das6 and 900 are the only small buff options we have in that price range...everything else is 400$+

300c was well scratched up...it had been through an auto brush wash most of its life...could well be ceramic it was tough paint...just a 2 stage buff on it.got 80-90% of imperfections out....still took 9 hours cause the size of the thing...lol

[PENGUYEN]

Youll be surprised... 22ple is like wiping off water. You just have to be really quick with it as it starts solidifying as soon as it touches the paint. So have to wipe it off after 5 mins. Stay one panel ahead. But its like wiping off water. Personally id still nuba it on top of 22ple. But 22ple is just so awesome you gotta have it. Basically having another clear coat thats really strong. And sheets real well. Expensive though...

Car wash place that takes care of alan mance holden/mitsubishi/suzuki dealer detailing. For used and prep new cars

I want the rupees big foot. Good buffer that one.

Are you using menzerna? Work uses 3M. I prefer menzerna a lot more

[ARTZ]

nah i meant removing it down the track when its hard..like in a few months....I will try it when i can...

yep still using menzerna, works well for 99% of jobs though need something a little tougher sometimes,,..used a big foot a few weeks back its a bit wild..lol...

was an old model and it wasnt variable speed though...does a good job but its a f**king jackhammer...my arms were going numb
