Yeah was a good day, starting getting Manjis down, quite fast though(80KPH on 165s

) and at the end of the day started losing concentration and hit the wall.

Siren has the before photo, this is after I attacked it with multiple products.

So with a new tail light at $60 not bad, few scratches but part of the game. Also need to roll my front fenders.

looks like a good day out bro!

Also - failed cert today hahaha. apparently when someone who weighs a bit more than me, gets into my car, the front driverside guard rubs a fair bit.

fml.

I fixed the oil leak to the turbo on my MX, fitted some 1.8L brakes and put some generic number plates on all ready for the new owner.

He's decided he doesn't want the torsen (which I haven't installed yet), any takers?

REDBEN might be a starter

Although I think he's more keen on a clutch type for dragging?

I would be more worried about the final drive ratio than what type of diff it is for drag racing

Clutch types are better for drifting and track racing

Well it's out of an 1998 NB, I know that much. That'd make it a 3.9, correct?

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 5:42 pm

If its an rs nb 6x speed it will be 3.9.

REDBEN · Post by **REDBEN** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 5:59 pm

Could be keen what sort of coin you after? I will be pulling the other diff out on Saturday for an inspection failing that I still think a will kill a Torsen in a couple of launces? Let me know James

Felt sorry for the car after thrashing it around at Meremere yesterday so did an oil and filter change.
Then installed a fusion active 8" sub that i got off a friend in exchange for my old 12" sony xplod.
After that i looked at my wing mirrors and thought that they could use a new coat of paint. Im regretting even touching the passenger one as it fell apart as soon as i touched it

before

after - matte black

What happened to the passenger one

Left side is a little bare now

Sub

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 8:52 pm

Couldnt find anywhere to hide it. Theres no space under the seats and i need the drivers seat all the way back as im 6'3".

broke my mirror just like that. run a blade around the edge between the red plastic bit, and black plastic bit. comes apart real easy. then just replace the bolt, its easier than it sounds.

punkoutnz · Post by **punkoutnz** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 9:25 pm

Was after around $400 for the diff, comes with axles and driveshaft.

chris told me the exact same thing and ive already fixed it. luckily dad had a bolt lying around that was the perfect length

I think your diff was 4.1 James easy to count though, also Ben the Torsen is the same as the S2000 and if you have seen the abuse I give mine good luck killing it.

I don't think it will handle the shock loading of the launches but will try fix what a have first. Hoping its a simple fix

Handles my launching(To start a drift from standstill) and my clutch kicking constantly, I would think so?

Did we decide if it is 4.1 or 3.9?

Mad Kiwi · Post by **Mad Kiwi** » Fri Feb 08, 2013 8:23 am

Kasey and I might be interested too....although we only need axles really....

I could be keen on just the diff / if you guys want the axles ? This assuming my standard 1.8 axles will work?

Nope, Someone wanna let me know how to check and I'll do it tonight and report back.

The only way to be 100% would be open it and count the teeth, unless you can work it out from speed/gear ratio but that would involve you needing to know your speedo accuracy too
