Ve ss diff question

[Jackv8]

Ahh cool cause mine is tuned to a 3.27 diff atm

Mike, how many kms on it and is working good? Also will I need a retune with he 3.45 diff?

I replaced it with a 4.11 LSD as it's a manual and the 3.45 was too tall. It's done 130000km and being a mature owner it has had an easy time. It was working perfect before I removed it.

i just changed the diff on my 2006 calais v 6ltr (auto) from a 2.92 non lsd to a 3.45 lsd much nicer to drive quicker off the line, more pull in lower gears and on the open road runs about 200rpm higher at 110 kph

Oh really that sounds sweet that's what I'm after a it higher rev cruising on the motorway at 110 Might have to give this 3.45 a go

I like others here changed from 2.92 single spinner to a 3.45 LSD, Used to sit @ around the 1700 rpm now sits at 1900ish @ 100kmph, if you do it you will have a big smile on your face after launching from the lights....


Only thing you will have to do is get the speedo re-set which is easy as, diff joint might be able to do it, if not a tuner with a dyno can...

Sounds good calv seems a lot have gone with 3.45 gears. I've got a question can I take my diff into a specialist and get them to put 3.45 gears in my diff?

Yes, just need the appropriate pinion and ring gear.

What's the 4.11 ratio like? Much difference from 3.45? Also what's the rpms cruising at 100 km/h?

You could but search around for someone selling a 3.45 out of a manual(they are going to 3.7)

I sold my 1200km diff for $550 5 yrs ago
