VZ Diff Gears for Alloytec 175

[TVS]

Hi, can anyone give me a heads up on where to get diff gears for these things? I am chasing some 3.71's or close to that ratio. Holden are quoting us $1800 for LSD and gears which is a bit steep but if I have to go with that I will. Just want to know if anyone knows of any other options. Cheers Damo.

TMS quoted me $1500 for a set of 3.73's for my VZ.

I was just about to get you to come over here but you beat me.

Anyone tried ebay on this one?

[TVS]

I didn't think of ebay but I spose it is worth a look. I punched out a heap of emails to diff joints all over the country just now so hopefully I get some feedback from them. Just gearing up for the blower kit to go on Tim, should haul with 3.71 gears and a blower. Fast enough for a girls car anyhow.

Calem123 - was that quote for LSD as well or just gears?

OK

I just rang this guy right now here is his contact and all gears in stock ready to roll, check it all out yourselves and make sure its what you want. Even call him right now if you are keen. Various ratios, but 3.9:1 and 3.7:1 on shelf.

Just gears.

Ah righto thanks Tim. I gave him a buzz but no answer, I don't want to go buggin the guy now anyhow, I will ring him tomorrow.

just for perspective, i paid 450 for a complete 3.46 LSD Diff in Almost new condition, i find generally, the shorter the ratio, it almost doubles in price, thats buying complete carriers btw

[HUMBLZ]

i got a set of second hand gears (3.73's) and LSD off eBay for a good price i reckon $450 nothing wrong with them..got it all fitted and i must say it was hell worth it!notice the difference by heaps all around

[TVS]

Ah cool. I will keep an eye out on ebay as well then. I have a few reply's to the emails I have sent to diff places as well. Average price is around the $700 mark.

I'm wanting some for my 05 sv6, i heard 3.46s which i believe is used on the monaros works well with them. what u guys think/recommend??

[TVS]

I'm going with 3.71's we have them on the missus current car (blown VN) and it worked well.

[Kal123]

Hey man, had any luck finding any 3.73's around town for a decent price?

[TVS]

Well we went genuine. Got entire diff center with LSD and gears for around the $1500 mark. Prices for just the LSD and gears alone most places quoted around the $1300 mark.

Hey mate how does the new diff and lsd go. Ill be getting gears soon. Not sure bout lsd yet. Ether lsd or extracters

[Slipper]

is there much of a difference in driving with an lsd vs open diff?

[ScufVZwags]

Iv been told to upgrade the diff gears a need a v8 diff. Cos the standard vz v6 cant change the gears.
Anyone no if this is true. I got told this at a diff shop

[impulsive]

not true, many ppl have changed diff gears
