It's a sad day with the passing of yet another 25 spline na diff.
I'd known this diff for approx 5 years and even though he was abused he stuck with his owner and was always faithful when most others wouldnt have been.
Today with a transbrake launch on slicks... he said enough is enough.
He's off to diff heaven.
Rip.

he will be sadly missed. he is survied by his 28 and 31 spline cousins who now have to step up live his dream.
RIP 25 spline

He did a couple of foot brake passes first though so it wasnt a total waste. Ran same time and mph as previous. 11.8 @ 118

19-07-09, 16:23 GMT+10#11 What power is it making, I guess 320-340ish rwhp for that mph?
Alot of people underestimate the old 25 spliner... Mine copped limiter dumps on slicks with my old 360rwhp rb25 for 2 years or so, it wasn't an lsd or locked but it used to cut twins always haha. Then it went in jacks burnout pig and got a locker and lasted ages too haha!

19-07-09, 19:27 GMT+10#16 Poor diff my arse, stupid fool in the drivers seat let go of the trans brake button at 6500RPM!!!. The diff never stood a chance, although in the car on the way home there was some talk of just replacing the axle, center is still very tight as it was able to get the car on the trailer with almost no assistance. I feel the diff could have lasted a more modest launch, maybe not so close to a limiter drop.
