and even more motivation!

im aiming for three weeks be running again, still need to fix diff and the rack and some other things i forgot, hopefully soon,

  • 2 weeks later...

yea, so im sick of paying the diff place to re do the diff, and since they wouldnt help me out with price even after ive been there more than 10 times with the thing (end rant) i did a small bit of research, spoke to tim wilkins and he was more than happy to help me out, so im doing it myself!! ahh feel better now!!

shits apart

2i06eiq.jpg

so when i pulled it apart found there attempt at making a shim!

all 4 of the phillips heads that held the hemi where all munted so changing them to allen key cap screws

yea so there piece of tin was .3mm

spoke to brae and we figured out .6mm should be the go! thanks again !

so from what i found if u use a .5mm shim your preload would be around 75/80fpds, i want 95/100 so hopefully itl obviuosly lock hard but as it wears will take longer to start opening up.

im still not finishined so this is in experiment mode, tim reckons i wont need them, but ill wait and see when i get the new plates from him,

also to help me with my memory /others out later

(( 1|1|1 centre 1|1|1))

yea so 14 plates total.

doing it your self = knowing exactly whats been done to it :)

i'm not too sure how these diff's work although be sure to take the back lash into account, so once you shim it up test the backlash and see if it needs adjusting.

after shimming my r200 into a locker the backlash is crap and low rpms are annoying, i just cant be stuffed changing the backlash shims just yet lol

thats it! and if i f**k it up i only have myself to blame! hahah but yea backlash should be fine since i only pulled out centre??

Nice choice of fuel system, same as mine. I made a under car surge tank to keep it all nice and neat.

haha steve ! looks like im heading the right way! man ive dummy fitted the carter pump, sux that it has to be mounted upright, kinda limits positions

yea ok so im no diff expert, but after talking to someone who is, i found out that these type of lsds shouldnt be shimmed! it basicallly just makes it a locker and completley stuffs up how the lsd plates work/lock up.

so the only way to get preload is to add another spring plate so, it will have 6 spring plates instaed of four.

((( |1|1 centre 1|1|)))

ive done mine like this with the best springs i had, so trail and error at moment, basically i should have just got a kaaz years ago

so when i was torqueing up the crown bolts, i snapped one, im blamming the amount of use they have had, so upgraded to 11.1 allen key. much better than stock, and look pretty.

also when trying to find main cap specs, this came up on search engine, haha

thats it! and if i f**k it up i only have myself to blame! hahah but yea backlash should be fine since i only pulled out centre??

so true!

i ment short nose r200 r33 diff, the back lash shims are just behind the crown wheel and you unbolt the center into two bits and install the shims with in, so safe bet is its completely different diff from what your describing
