Hey there russ, rob, ken, anyone else...

Ken - I got enough backlash in my rear diff that I should get it attended too. Had the car on a hoist at a local performance shop the other night to check it out. I was told that it was prolly something to do with a spacer type thingo (sorry cant remember exactly) that would need to be replaced inside the diff where the tailshaft connects. I think it is compliments of a lack of experience launching the car from the one time I went to the drags.

Anyway - to cut a long story short - can you tell me where to go?

[33Spec2]

grrrrrrr why is perth so boring!

My driveshaft needed 3 new unijoints when it got here, they were all fubar'd and made the car vibrate. Place in osborne park machined them and replaced them for around $360 all up. Driveshaft Balancing I think the name was.

[gtrken]

Yep can do but your wife has already done it for me...

Is the diff noisy?

The spacer thingy is probably the crush washer for the pinion bearing.

My advice is to just turn up the radio a bit louder. Removing , o/hauling and while it's apart , replace the clutch packs , carrier bearings , reset the preload etc then the figure will be in the $1300- $1500 region.

Get a 2nd hand one and be ready to throw it in if you run out of radio volume.

Cheers

One of the few places I know is Diff and Trans in Jolimont.

Know a few tailshaft mobs but they are not diff rebuilders.

Thanks guys.

Ken, there's no noise, & I think it was the crush washer that they were talking about. I wouldn't care about it except that I was told it could cause excessive wear on the crown wheel (I think that's what it's called).

But then again - drive it till it breaks then get one 2nd hand for around $500 bucks I reckon.

Besides , they are hard to break and there will be noise well before it lets go.

Pickup a cusco 1.5 way or similar for about 1K and practise your circle work.

Ken - I'm gonna check out Gav's mines ecu on sunday & will prolly be doing a deal with him. He reckons it gave him around 300rwhp on SST's dyno.

It's only boring when sitting on a puter talking to other pathetic like minded people...

In conjunction with what.

Std they are around 200-220 hp at all 4 . Would be surprised if just a puter made that diff.

Let me know if you stumble across a diff in your travels Ken - if you see one for the right price it would be worth me buying for when either of us have a need for one

[33Spec2]

Ken - my car is making 264rwhp (2wd) on steve's dyno before it hits the speed cut at around 6900rpm.

Basically as gav said he hasn't picked up much more power with the PFC he is using now - but I'm sure that will change.

I gotta spare , it's in the ricer.

Actually ,C Red have a few for around the $800 mark and I think they may even have a 1.5 or 2 way.
