Had a severe case of the trademe loose trigger finger and bought this LSD http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=696477496 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=696477496) Also bought a disc brake rear end with hand brake cable since i was sick of looking at the drum brakes. time to get dirtayyyy

OUCH 25 SPLINE LSD FOR $400 but you will love the difference if its a good one

yea a bit pricy but it didnt matter i rarely see them on trademe and couldnt let another one go by. is it easy enough to take my old diff head out and drop this one in or do i need to get it done properly cause i always hear about problems with shims etc ??

by dont swap the gear sets you mean i need to change the original crown wheel over to the new centre right ?

yes

some visual progress. took the axles out on my way towards getting the centre out. got the brake stone guards and brackets at work getting bead blasted to clean the whole lot up. hopefully i can get the diff blasted and painted at work as well. If i have axles out and just make some plates to bolt on over holes should be alright for bead blasting ?

or what about that soda blasting?

Nah i can get bead blasting done for a packet of biscuits at work, so I put steel plates over the axle holes with a bit of gasket glue and sealed up the centre cover plate so should be good to go. say good bye to crusty looking diff !

Reveal. Sexylicious spruced up diff and bits. Now the question is do i clean the hell out of the underside of the car and respray with underbody stuff or does that start a domino effect of where to stop. Also what new bushings do/should i get ??

i did. used a wire wheel and steel ruler to rempove flakes and grit in conrners then air compressor to get what i couldnt reach. then a product called tergo backguard as recommeneded by my panelbeater 2 coats then 2 coats of 2 pack paint.came up mint enough for me. i did all bushes. and springs and shocks ...... cant seem to get into photobucket account to post pic sorry will try latr

sweet ill have a look once i get the diff off and see what im getting my self into. A few photos of swapping diff centres Empty housing changing the crown gear Failing to torque the crown gear bolts with it on the bench LSD centre in place use and IMGUR account bro really easy. and when you upload the photo click on the one you want, select large thumbnail and use the link for message boards & forums Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok cheers for that. seems like my computer to slow for graphics as it works on wifes computer : ( i will try upload one tomorrow

In the process of giving the brakes and overhaul before i chuck them back on the rear end. pain in the ass to get the calipers out but got there in the end. Ill get the blasted up, paint them and put some new seals in should look good. Got new solid brake lines made up for the rear as well. Dont know what colour i should paint then, was thinking silver or dark gold will look good with the black diff ? Also thinking i might buy the braided lines set off trademe for all 4 corners while im at it

Thanks bro always helps the motivation getting some good comments. Noticed the beast had been smoking a lot so whipped the front of the turbo and sure enough looks like the seals are gone In the mean time i had been saving for an upgrade and what better way to kick things off then a gnarly big turbo Introducing the K27 (Blitz 3470MOJ) with K29 compressor wheel that is tucked into a machined out compressor housing. Customised and rebuilt by Alltech turbo ---------- Post added 04-05-14 at 22:12 ----------

Got my LSD rebuilt and spec'd up at Steelie Gears. Really good bloke and would recommend him to anyone dealing with VL or similar era commodores. Now to re-assemble the rear end with new discs, pads and hopefully some bushes in the trailing arms etc. And some pics cause everyone loves pics Went to Europe in June/July and managed to get to Gatebil in Norway, ridiculous festival. Epic wall ride drifts all weekend long and close as you can get leaning over the front straight wall. Met Magnus Walker, really good dude didnt mind having a yarn with annyoing strangers Hectic LS1 turbo Evo 3. 650 HP at the rears on 7 psi

Mean! That Magnus fella looks homeless, but he has some sweet cars!

Finally got the diff and associated parts together with all new trailing arm bushes and slotted the bitch in. Fresh blasted calipers Pick a part antics Delicious satin black paint job The old The new Plus obligatory jacked low photo whilst adjusting the handbrake Was an absolute mission to get the bushes out and new ones in because i was a mong and didnt burn/take them out before i painted the diff and then more annoying trying to line all the bolt holes up especially the forward upper trailing arm but got there in the end. felt bloody good when i heard it chirping the inside wheel as i drove out of the hanger Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

can you please frame that work-of-art exhaust for me? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
