Quaife or Nismo front, same again in the rear and extra few friction plates in the transfer case, commonly known as "the transfer case mod".

Prob looking at $1800 ish to do the front, around the same for the rear and $600 for the transfer.

^parts prices only, right? The quaife front LSD goes for around $1850 without install or bearings or seals.

The setup Piggaz has suggested would give a great setup for OPs application though.

Was also thinking a billet centre plate in the gearbox is not a bad idea. This would prevent shock loading and shaft separation in the gearbox on hard launches at Collingrove. I see you're in Adelaide - feel free to contact us if you'd like any further info.

Centre plate is for the gearbox. No need to change the other gearbox internals if they're working and you're not making spastic power. If eother of those are not the case, then you have a bazillion different upgrade options out there, ranging from $100 for different oil to $20k for a special special box.

who does the transfer case mod in Sydney?

What's OPs application?

OP's purpose is "Hillclimbs mainly and the occasional time attack ", OP.

I'd also leave the box until you need to change it, and when you do get a dog box in there for the quicker shifts :)

Jimmy anyone can modify the transfer case, it involves adding the correct number of additional clutch plates to preload it. Award did mine.

N00b question , what is this center plate upgrade?

The stock centre plate of the RB25/6 gearbox can flex in high torque, high grip situations such as aggressive launches or high speed cornering. When it flexes the shafts (mainshaft and countershaft) come out of alignment and the gears destroy each other. The billet centre plate improves case rigidity. It's basically a full rebuild to install, so would be done with a bearing and seal refresh as a minimum, check synchros etc.

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
