naaa shit blows goats the addtive is good thou and stink's like hell

reline 75 90 or what ever gl5

and about 25 % of the ford addtive works the best some times littel less pending on the ware of the clutch disk's in the clucth pack

to much and you lsd wonte work worth a shit and will slip to much


sad part is if it chattering right now and has bena for some time that is bad and cause un wanted were on the clutch pac and geiveing odd ware as well

i whould fix this if you plan to keep this diff

Island_Yota 03-28-2009 03:36 PM

^ I have a feeling its been run like this for awhile, it still works good and doesn't always chatter, I dont drive long enough distances to really get it hot.. I notice the chatter the most if I drive down to Victoria or Nanaimo.

Guess il try to find redline and get the ford additive, still cant find MT-90.

NashMan 03-28-2009 09:25 PM

anyone think that a cat could restrict exhaust sound?

my car has a full aftermarket 2.5" exhaust, with a single big cat in there and a magnaflow muff.... the car is quieter then stock!

if i rip out the cat, will I actually be able to hear the car?

NashMan 03-29-2009 10:11 AM

yup ditch it and the one on your down pipe as well
if you have gay exhuast and you do the full 3 inc you will see a massize gain

your car might be as fast as a reg supra too lol

It made a huge difference on my N/A, that is.. putting the cat in and ripping out the test pipe! fuck was that thing loud.

I found a Center Support bearing that can be modified to fit the Mk3, Napa part # HB206-FF. Its $41, think its for a 92-94 Blazer but im not sure, rubber and bearing are pretty much the same dimensions, just need to weld on new tabs so it bolts up Im stoked.

AVNGinger 04-02-2009 03:21 PM

hey, so im gonna go look at a 2jz for sale on sunday, its not in a car, what should i be looking at on it to know if its a lemon. I know you cant tell if its cracked till you strip it and get it magnafluxed/sonofluxed but what is there that i should e checking?

Renthal 04-02-2009 04:27 PM

lol i was burping my coolant system today then the rpms went low so i got scared and turned it of..
when i turned it back on a few mins later a big puff of white smoke came out of the exhaust :cry::cry:
i'm too afraid to drive it

Burping your coolant?

I can't remember what oil I put into my LSD but I bought the additive from Toyota. I might have a bunch left over...I'll check.

Check your oil, does it look like chocolate?
Check your coolant, does it 'smell' like exhaust or have oil in it?
Does your car puff white all the time? or just a bit on startup? Does your exhaust smell sweet? (take a small wiff!)

The reason you take out your thermostat is to prevent air pockets from building up there - that's also where the temp sensor is sitting, so if you do get air pockets there your temp will go really hot/cold.

Also, air pockets are baaad mmmkay? They're bad because air=hot, and having dissimilar hot spots on the head can cause bad things, like warpage.

The more you know!

ahh already built the new bearing, havent put it in the car yet. The old bearing had alot of play but im thinking most of the drivetrain play is coming from the control arm bushings and im way to lazy to tear that apart right now, theres alot of fuckin clunking going on back there.. pinion/gears seem fine though.

Renthal 04-03-2009 12:59 PM

no milkshake oil, i'll drive it around and keep my eye on the temp gauge..

thank goodness i have a spare head sitting here :)

Paradox 04-03-2009 08:52 PM

ok.... so i managed to get my old hatch off and started to finally put the new one on. do the bolts to the roof have to go in first? cause i bolted up the hatch struts first and now it wont push forward enough to line up the bolts at the roof.

so im stuck with something that looks like this.

Renthal 04-04-2009 12:45 AM

AVNGinger 04-05-2009 08:58 PM

i'm willing to bet your thermostat was stuck before, replace it!

i found a fail-safe thermostat awhile ago so when it fails it will just stay open instead of sticking shut like the regular ones do, good investment. i think i found it on ebay.
