Sweet! What was the wrap up? How did they get it all to fit?

bushido · Post by **bushido** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:50 am

Ben I had the gearbox rebuilt and the bell housing for the LSD mounts milled a few mms ($250) to accomodate the cusco lsd ($800). New bearings with a sleeve fitted for strength. Had custom made hemispheres, acid cleaned the box, reassembled ($550). Ben style custom driveshafts ($1000). Old gearbox end coupling didnt work ($800). lots of driveshafts didnt work ($$$$). Paid $5500 on saturday morning, then off to nrma for greenslip ($470). re regoed ($249). rotors + pads ($1200)

And now back on the road. After 6 l o n g months and almost 10 grand later (

) I have it back.

Clutch type lsd is very noisy and is very aggressive. steering fights you for control.

Oh anyone know where I can get LS90 mineral based diff oil. read on here that it may soften if not eliminate the noise?

Waiting for the wiseman ferry run to give it some. Hopefully unichip will be in by then.

So what's under the hood?
Im curious why everyones drolling?

Post by **Bennoz** » Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:39 am

Its just a 6A12 Mivec, but its got all the good bits bolted onto it now

Limo diff, intake, exhaust, brakes, Buddy Clubs etc etc. Oh & its just been converted from tip to manual in a very long & painful process.
