  1. Is that pic of the bush on the car or the second hand diff? As it's pretty knackered! As these cars have so much torque they do seem to knacker the diff bushes.

     

    White line are meant to be ok on a budget- do spl do them? They're a better brand for most of the other bush bits. Diff sounds fun!

     

    Picture is of the rear diff bush that is pressed into the subframe on the car.

     

    SPL do solid alloy ones, but I would prefer rubber or poly.

     

    Diff should be great once its in, I swapped a Torsen from a V8 into my S2 and I liked it.

  2. Got a Mishimoto thermostatic oil cooler kit

    Mounted, hoses are a bit long :wacko:

    They are AN hoses, so once I have got some proper clips I can cut them down and route them something like this, I will need to make stand offs for the wiring loom.

    Also picked up a spare rear diff to fit a Quaife to

    And new diff bushes at the same time, currently thinking Whiteline unless anybody has any suggestions?

  3. dont you mean your calipers? or you actually want to paint the disc?

     

    Seems to be quite popular to paint the disc hat at the moment, you dont see surface corrosion on the unswept areas of the discs, you can buy coated discs so the coating is only cleaned off the area the pad contacts.

  4. What do you want to do with it?

     

    I have a scissor lift, you need ramps on either side, or recess it into the floor to drive low cars over it.

     

    It obviously has its limitations, but its still so much nicer/quicker than lifting a car with a jack and axle stands. Lifts the car over a metre off the ground quickly and easily. A nice height to sit on a stool to work on breaks/suspension, also good for body work, engine pulls etc. Exhaust/brake/fuel lines/gearbox are fiddly above the lift, but you can just lift the car up, then lower it onto tall axle stands, or wheels stands, then lie the lift flat.

     

    Whilst it is "portable" you will not be zooming it about the place!

     

    I would like a flush mount twin scissor lift like Keyser listed, but money and roof height are slight inconveniences at the moment.

  5. I can supply them - £815

     

    Quaife QDF11L Nissan 350Z Manual Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential

     

    Let me know if I can help further

     

    Cheers Chris

     

    Hi Chris

     

    Sounds good. Do you prefer to sell through the forum or your website?

     

    Is the QDF11L a direct replacement for a OEM viscous LSD? I thought the QDF13L is used to replaces the viscous diff?

     

    Do you sell the seals/bearings/oil as well?

     

    cheers

  6. Smooth, maintenance free. I know it will go open if I lift a wheel, but it will be better than an old viscous diff for most driving.

     

    I assume your suggestion is man up and get a Kaaz? How long have you had yours? Have you had to replace any parts?

     

    A lot of track work was the plan, life does not always go to plan though, might still get a few in this year.

     

    It really is horses for courses Andy, and there is always a trade off if the car is for both track and road. :thumbs:

     

    There is a TS 4 hour open pit, track event on Saturday 31st October at Knockhill if you are interested. :drive1

     

    Yup, road cars are always compromises, and this time I think I want a road car I can drive on track, rather than trying to build a road legal track car. Still able to enjoy it for a weekend away rather than only enjoyable when hooning it.

     

    31st is now fully booked and my boss is off that weekend so no chance of me escaping for the afternoon.

  8. Thanks for the offers guys but I want a complete 350z rear diff, so I can fit an LSD to it on the bench and then just swap the diffs over with no issues.

  9. Looking to pick up a spare rear diff, viscous LSD if anybody has one before I go hunting on ebay?

     

    I want a spare to drop an proper LSD in for a straight swap over.

  10. nice seat haha

     

    Not pretty but its comfier than stock and will let me drive on track without slouching. Plus as I had the seats its only cost me £8 for flat bar as an experiment, once I have used them for a bit I can get them in black leather if I want an OEM+ look
