Awesome Justin, I want to see photos. It actually started with being "dropped off tomorrow" on 22/10, then "dropped off" on 23/10, but automerged doubleposted because it happened within 24 hours. But yeah, picking it up on 27/11. I went back on 26/10 to drop off some handbrake mounts, and the Detroit was there all pulled apart. Side gears have been sent off to be modified to 31 spline. Backseat is in after both rear scuffs have been modified, yay. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Diff has been assembled. Went and had a look, all painted etc. Picking it up on 27/11/09.

I was going to as Tim how you went with all the diff stuff. Photos or GTFO.

Argh......no photos as I've got no phone atm. Guess I'll gtfo until I do! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Don't even talk to me about spigot bearings. No, that socket is still in there. I'm hoping to weld a nut on there and then yank it out with a bolt. Then I'm going to destroy it.

Then I'm going to destroy it. pack it all full of grease and then fit a bar that size inside the rear of the socket and smash it in it will hydraulic lock and force the socket out then do the same for the spigot except not such a tight fit

The socket is a really small 14mm 3/8. It was a bit of an effort to get it in, and now it's past the spigot, loose at the back of the crank. I want to blow it up. No hydraluic action possible, as it's right at the back (of the space inside) of the crank.

I watched the videos man. When it gets to the end of the hole within the crank, you have to pull it out and repack it with grease. I simply don't have something the right size.

I gotta admit dude i'v never been a fan of the red interior, but it looks tops in your berlina Well done. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks MUSone. A mate might be coming over to give me a hand today Chris. It's only a rwc motor, so not too stressed about hurting it a bit.

awesome stuff man!! keep up the good work!

Thanks Chris. 31 spline billet axles New genuine BorgWarner 3.7:1 gears Harrop Detroit TruTrac Mechanical LSD, customised to 31 spline Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Beaut Diff Mate TruTrac... FTW When i seen the price I was like DAMN. $1500 was spend on mine. All I got was 28 spline axles. And a Spool

Oh Tim so nice. When you install the diff I want video evidence its a Trutrac Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah, it definately isn't a cheap diff. But with any luck it'll never, ever break. Don't worry Luke, I'll get it NA powered and do a demo for you. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I read somewhere, maybe this thread. That the TruTRac cost $1390 Just for the unit itself. I think that is reasonable. Looks good, and will perform. Sweet

I can't remember the exact price of the centre, but my diff builder got it a bit cheaper than what's listed on their website. It cost around $300 to be modified to 31 spline. RWC motor has been assembled; just need a few bits in pieces before I put it in the car. Progress is going to be slowed by Christmas and a trip overseas next year. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
