Shouldn't if it's been welded strong enough Id've thought - we seem to be having lots of 300's with dead diffs lately.... is it more the case the welds are breaking and wrecking the diff more than anything?

Remember to put OIL in them, i know of 2 people on here that "heard" you dont need oil in a welded diff, But you DO!


Cheers
will

shocking mind you i can be a little stupid sometimes

What grade oil does my diff need????

Cheers peps.

The data book I have to hand says SAE90. A high 'tens' number like 80 or 90 rings a bell, but get your local factors to check it (or look in the Haynes manual). Basically, it needs to be THICK gear oil.

Well big thanks to Keith for all his help cars running YAY


DIFF FITTED


BACK OF THE GEARBOX


NEW AND OLD DIFFS


And at last the car out the garage and working (for now)

Also painted the grill black.

Awsome car I think, love the colour of it

Bought some 200sx wheels the other day cheap as chip for my next 200 its a pitty they dont fit the volvo.





Also started to paint the wheels whit but thought they looked crap so stopped

I'd go for a "thinking man's AE86" sticker myself

True...AE86s must be one of the most brutally 'scene taxed' cars in recent years.

cheers
