160 Series (90, 75, 164 Sedans) / Re: 75 auto LSD - can it be tr...
Last post by Divano Veloce - August 25, 2024, 09:28:16 PMThe 75 Auto box does indeed contain an LSD, but it is NOT compatible with a V6 manual 4.1:1 CW/P
The V6 Auto LSD diff carrier has a 10 bolt CW
The 4.1:1 V6 manual open diff carrier has an 8 bolt CW.
The spigot diameters are different too.
As the automatic pinion rotates in the opposite direction to the manual, the differential is removed from the LHS of the transaxle and the teeth are cut in the opposite direction.
Also, the pinion head is "between bearings". Tough box!

General Discussion / Rear Shock Absorber missing so...
Last post by Yande - August 23, 2024, 08:46:27 PMI'm about to install a new set of Springs on my 2003 147 Ti. Doing a pre work check this afternoon I noticed something different on the rear shock set up. When I take it to my mechanic I don't want to get half way through the job only to discover I need to go find another part. Can anyone explain what has gone on here, is it the bump stop (Orange one left has some cracks) that is missing and if so, are they relatively easy to obtain, generic? I've had the car just over a year and there are no obvious symptoms of anything wrong, just upgrading the Springs. Any explanations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re: Rusty hatch
Last post by festy - August 23, 2024, 11:05:57 AMQuote from: MD on August 23, 2024, 08:03:11 AMMate, at this rate you WILL be nominated for the Panel Beaters Hall of Fame placard.The only thing I'm likely to get from them is a cease and desist letter
What is the big plan for this illustrious vehicle?
The plan is a bit open ended at the moment, but seeing as I haven't taken it to the track in about a decade I thought I might get a bit more use out of it if it was registered.
The NSW classic rego scheme allows a fair bit more freedom than historic rego, but there's still quite a list of work to be done. Remove the fuel cell, roll cage, slicks etc, fit roof lining, carpet, interior, seats, seatbelts, lights, ignition barrel, washers and wipers, bumpers, speedo, and probably a lot more that I haven't thought of yet.
I've been reading up on VSB 6 and all the applicable ADRs to work out what modifications can stay and what can't.
Apart from the rust at the rear, this is a really good solid car with a bunch of performance and handling improvements and its a waste to not be driving it.
