True Trak Installed Sun, 13 June 2004 23:03 Go to next message
Ok

For everyone that was involved in that True trak LSD group buy, or didn't i've got mine in my car.

Can really say much cause I haven't really driven it. With the build up i replaced both pinion bearings and of couses the centre bearings. the diff guy told me not to flog the car or drive at over 80kph for 500km so as to let the bearings wear in.

I have since done about 200km at around idle, so with work over the next couple of days I should reach the 500km buy wed, when the fun will begin.

While the car was apart I also installed a button clutch and a much heavier duty tailshaft. So we'll see what fun I have later in the week.

Any Q's just PM me.

The centre bearings I used the part number is in the bearing thread.

Luke - good work!!
For those wondering, this is the post with the bearing part numbers: http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&t h=29430&rid=3063&S=14bfa15675192c475c85931 d718eb6a2&pl_view=&start=0#msg_256877

Now does anyone know of a reputable diff shop in Perth?

Regards

Peter

I'm taking mine to AD Differentials in Balcatta, if he is still there, I haven't looked in a year or so. I was VERY impressed with his customer service last time I went to get a diff rebuilt, but he was more expensive.
So I stupidly went to a cheaper place and had my diff rebuilt by them instead, wasnt particularly happy with the result, but according to them, they couldnt fix it.

Shit, I'm still using mine as a foot rest under my office desk Embarassed

I've heard good things about WA diff Centre in O'conner, but never used them. Ask "Sleekher" where her Dad got his LSD overhauled, as they did a good job too from memory?!

Yeah Tail shaft is up to it. Its a huge 3 incher (don't take that any where else) and just takes up the trannie tunnel. When I left the drive shaft mob where virtually daring me to try and break it as the reckon I won't.

Done a couple of churps and left some small marks latley, LSD is diffenetly working. Real test will be soon

Its just a torsen LSD..no hybrid. LSD is just the effect it has. It is made by Detriot, it was $640 but we bought roughly 10 of them. It's not noisy, but by Norbie's description is fairly tight, will lock up under a bit of load so it works well.

Yeah it is a torsen.
It is really quite and doesn't take much to load up and lock up.

in general driving and flogging its the same as a normal diff (sound wise) except I'm using more opp lock now.
