is gettng your diff welded any good, and with a welded diff when you turn corners does it make the churping sound

its like having a locker. dont do it - buy a lsd or a proper spool

yeah, go LSD, spools are illegal and you'll get the "scrubbing" around corners!

welding is just the el-cheap-o version of a mini spool I havent done it to a VL diff - done it to some old padock bombs but generally if you give it a bit of sh@t and go nuts the weld will eventually break. But yes you will get 100% traction at the rear wheels on both sides. If it was me i would just go buy a mini spool, good if your just going to thrash the car - but your tyres will scrub when turning around corners.... but like i said if your just going to thrash the car its not like your taking care of your tyres any ways Cheers, Daz Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Contact me if you need a spool!

i got a non turbo diff, single spinner, so i thought i might as well lock it untill i buy a 3.4.5 LSD, and with the spool is it just the axels?

with a weldd diff if the weld breaks will both my tyres lock up?

A spool hold the axles together, also if you weld it to modify the stucture of the metal and it becomes weaker

weres a good place i can get it welded from, im in melb

duz360 but i got 25 spline axels

And i have a full write up in the tech section to install it yourself!

champ buy a spool at least if your going to put a locker in your car.

sorry to go off topic but what effect will it hav on a mildly modified na if i put 3.9:1 gears in my diff? and is it actually possible to fit them in the original non lsd diff?

lsd gears btw
