    Differential Question.

    A stuffed LSD would spin both but need very little resistance to stop one spinning. My friends dads monaro on the hoist spin both but if you just held onto one wheel while someone spins the other it would just stop spinning very easily. My old xr8 you could hang onto one whole a few people...

    Optimal diff ratio and wheel size for 4 speed auto ecotec? (VYII Acclaim)

    3.08 to 4.11 is 33% difference. So with absolutely ever speed and every gear and everything. There will be 33% difference. If the cars theoretical top speed is 240 with 3.08 then it will now be 160. At any speed your revs will increase by 33% also. So you can work out maximum speeds in...

    VS Ute Shuddering

    I'd be looking into the tailshaft, like had been suggested. Had A BA ute with a slightly damaged tailshaft and would vibrate at certain speeds. Retired the car with a few burnouts and on its last go it let go at the top of 2nd and ripped through the tray and absolutely obliterated the end of...

    Optimal diff ratio and wheel size for 4 speed auto ecotec? (VYII Acclaim)

    You can have whichever diff ratio you like on whichever gearbox you like. So yes it is compatible. And the vy ss has LSD. But whether or not it's still working is another story. The lsd's in commodores aren't renowned for durability at all.

    Optimal diff ratio and wheel size for 4 speed auto ecotec? (VYII Acclaim)

    If you're after performance, the small fuel increase with going from 3.08 to 4.11 is going to be muchly justified with the off line added performance. It's just my opinion tho, I can understand having a good balance of fuel:acceleration with 3.45. But I can't notice any difference going from...

    P Plater, VY Calais. Discuss.

    When doing a burnout, the standard auto will still change into 2nd even if it's in "1" and then once it changes into 2nd it'll bog down and keep swapping between gears. Try and control the throttle to keep it in first. Left hand down donuts work a bit better then right hand down with the non...

    Funny police stories

    I was on my P's to in the senator, and I was at a set of traffic lights. Car full of people. There was a celica behind me. And he randomly started doing a front wheel drive burnout on the spot. Smoked up really good. Light goes green, I slowly go through the now smoke filled intersection and...

    I agree with phone plan option. But if you buy from eBay just look for buyer positive feedback percentage thing. You are generally safe on major eBay stores. I wouldn't be concerned at all buying from eBay

    3.8L Burnout Experiences

    Dump the exhaust at the diff but split it into 2 and point an end at the wheels. Pushes the smoke out faster. And the 3.8 won't be the best for burnouts. The vt auto won't hold first manually without a kit. And the engine Wont hold second gear. A mate had a vt with 3.7's. Still would oh down...

    Diff gears! 3.7's or 3.9's?

    Sorry. Since we were talking about 3.08 ratios I thought it was an auto. Its a difficult decision. Cos it's such a expensive job to have to do again if you pick the wrong ratio.

    Diff gears! 3.7's or 3.9's?

    If your going through all the effort. I would go 4.11's everytime. Or atleast 3.9's. There's going to be about 30% increase In revs. And if you have done other engine work like cams etc you're not going to mind the little extra in fuel costs. My friend went from 3.08 to 3.7 in his vt exec and...

    VS Diff

    You can buy just an LSD centre if you like. But if your not mechanically minded I suggest you just take it to a diff shop. Or buy the centre and get them to install it. Or if your sort of mechanically minded you can but a whole Vr/vs diff housing with an LSD in it and installing the whole...

    How much to get my diff spooled

    They could be. I've only ever played with them whilst changing diff ratios. Which needs new shim measurements. Just make sure you get the right size. When I went to get one cos I snapped one I went to a place and the bloke had a whole bunch in a box that he had kept from salvaging out of...

    Putting on a crown gear

    Rubber mallet. Line up the holes. Then slowly hit the crown gear down. Opposites sides (like tightening wheel nuts) Take your time with it, small firm hits.

    How much to get my diff spooled

    Take that shim to a diff or gearbox place. And get one from them. They'll have to make it EXACTLY the same width. It is pretty important you get the right width.

    diff question

    There was a 9" To suit vs on eBay a month or two ago. It was 650$ I think. They might be heavy and maybe a bit overkill but you won't need to worry about your diff breaking.

    V8 on p's?

    None of these laws exist in NT. A friend of mine had to sell his car when he moved interstate. The interstate laws are reasonable though. On a Friday night you see an abundance of P plater V8 and imports. And the police are starting to come down very hard on hooning. My first car was a ba...

    What does this do, and where do i buy one

    Hey, ('95 5.0L senator, incase it matters) just noticed today that there is something like a vaccum plug near the throttle body opening in the holden 304, and another on the opposite side. I noticed that on both sides they were half fallen off. so i took them off and gave them a clean...

    Adive?

    Vibration could be engine mounts. But no idea why they would come off during a three point turn. Check ur steering rack for boots. I'm unsure though

    Best Diff Ratio for VN?

    4.11's would probably be best for standing start acceleration. On page two of this forum someone has asked pretty much the same thing. And rpm at 100 increases is all about comparative percentages. I'm just gonna cut paste what I said in the other guys thread. It's a bit to get your head...
