Diff Workshop Recommendations?

Hi guys,

My project involves putting a 4.11CW&P onto an S15 helical centre into an R32 housing. Three diffs are gutted, useful parts put together. But the setup of the diff is troublesome.

My mechanic has stuffed around for a few hours and hasn't been able to get it set up right with the various thickness washers he has available. It's time for it to go off to a diff workshop to get set up so he stops wasting time on it.

I'm just looking for any recommendations for trustworthy diff shops in Adelaide who won't charge like wounded bulls. My mech usually takes stuff to SA Race when he has to, and I'd be happy to use them, but input from others who have used any other diff shops will be appreciated.

cheers

Hey bud I have built and set up many of these diffs I am more than happy to help over the phone if you want. We are in Newcastle NSW so it would not be worth sending it over. PM me if you want to chat.

Cheers Ryan

Hi Ryan, My mech knows what he's doing, but he has a limited supply of different thickness washers to get the CW&P right. After stuffing around with what he had available he declared it to be time to stop wasting time and get it done by someone who can go straight to the answer instead of going round and round. My last contact with him was an sms on wed arvo. I'll have another chat with him direct tomorrow, and I'll get back to you if he thinks your help will help, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the offer. cheers

Well he does.....but they're a race trans and diff shop with no need to give me nice pricing! It's a shame that over the last few years, the nearby diff shops that were trustworthy have all shut up. There were two or 3 and now there's not so many choices. I was just looking for some fresh options.

      You'd be better off digging a pit and standing under it to shoot it.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.

      For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
