Can i get away with just removing the diff housing cover, and slapping a peice of steel plate and some weld in there, or must the inside of the diff be removed then welded?? RB30e VL Wagon. Cheers Zak

why dont u just put in an LSD?

probably because they cost more money and are crap.

because i brought the car for fek all , and its not really road driven, just for burnouts really... any advice anyone?

Ever thought of minispooling it? Cheaper than LSD and constant locker.

a mini spool would be worth almost as much as what i paid for it. i dont want any of that ****, just want to weld it, if anyone can help me out with the original question please do.

By the sounds of it you dont even know whats involved with welding a diff!

i do, but need 2 no if i can get to the spider gears without pulling it 2 peices.. if i need to pull it 2 peices, ill need to make some arrangements.

my mate welded his up with only the cover removed...lasted a while itd be alot better job if you remove it and clean it right up and MIG the fark outta the spider gears

dude a mini spool will cost like $100 dont be a tight ass the weld will only last a short time anywayz...

agreed with above comment... when my mate put the spool in, it was so much better

paid 150$ for the car, not worth it. if its got a strong weld, ill break stuff b4 i break the diff

Had to buy a new mini spool, $150 delivered off JET6, my old centre was just welded up ive had the car 3 years and has made over 200rwkw for 2 years and over 300rwkw for the last year which has included track racing and the welded center is still together. Broke pinion gear in half and stripped the crown gear, but welds are still together. Pull it apart and do it properly and you will have a chance of it surviving for a long while.

its pretty hard to weld with jsut the cover pff :/ theres only a really small hole to get to the spider gears. if your welding isnt to crash hot youll end up welding the gears to your centre Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not hard to remove the centre, axles out, bearing retainers off and pull it all out (will need to use a bit of force) and then do it that way. If your going to be bodgey, may aswell it do it at least half proper!

sweet. sounds not to bad. never pulled one to peices. was reading the explantion by someone in the tech section ; how to install a spool.. i dont quite have to pull it apart that much correct?.. cheers for the help.

as was said all depends on how well u wanna weld it up. to simply weld it then no u dont have to pull to that much bits.

carefull of the bearings when u weld it, might pay to mask them up, i got weld splatter on one of mine and had to buy a new one.... 50$ odd bucks later :/
