I was reading a forum for the BMW Z3, and came across this interesting statement from this guy. Does the mk3 rear subframe bushing work the same way? I noticed that the subframe and bushing had a gap when the car was lifted on a lift. Some people say this means the bushing is bad but I am not...

I finished rebuilding my original diff. Setting is as follows, original pinion depth shim 1.94mm. Pinion preload 1.3Nm or 11.5inlb. It feels much more tighter than before. I plan to swap the diff in another 2 weeks. In the meantime, I put in half the amount of gear oil and breaking in the pinion...

I was just able to test the car after swapping in the diff last week. When the oil is cold, there is hardly any noise, approach 50kmh, I hear nothing. At 60kmh I hear nothing, then at 62 I start hearing something, though it is much fainter than my original diff. As the oil heats up, the sound...

Here is a translated article from Motor Fan Japan on an experimental 2 stroke engine using the 7M block and a 4 cyl diesel block. The diesel version was installed in a Z20 Toyota Soarer, which is related to a Mk3 Supra.

Have you tried this ?

Guys, I am almost done, I knocked in the side gear flanges, but oddly I find that the ring gear side flange has very little in out slop, but the opposite side has about 2 to 3mm of in out slop . Is this normal ? If i recall my other open diff is the same. Any reason why toyota made it this way ?

Any plans to change wheels ?

I got my new pinion nuts from japan and tightened the nut to set preload. This is my first time working with a crush sleeve and it went smoothly. I mean i read on some forums how difficult it is to crush it, but the toyota ones were not that hard to crush. I just used a 4' long breaker bar...

Too late bruh, I had to take it apart and inspect everything. The bearings are coated with a black film of oil, so I cleaned them up thoroughly, I also want to measure the pinion depth shim, just to compare diff to diff. Overall, the bearings look really good for a 35 year old diff. In fact I...

Turns out the "LSD" i bought isn't a LSD but an open diff. The good thing is the backlash is very consistent, its towards the upper end of the range, at 0.19mm average. The ratio is also correct (as asked in my other thread, but I am stopping with that thread as it is not a LSD) I took apart the...

I received the diff today. Still unsure if its a LSD, but it should be. My observations are : The diff turns smoothly, and pinion preload is still there, I can feel the preload. I will measure it, but I am kinda reluctant to take it apart, but i guess I have to, otherwise I can't remove the...

Yes I am very familiar with the ring and pinion setup, and in this case, I will be reusing the the ring and pinion so i will not change pinion depth. What is the purpose of this procedure ? I thought with a LSD there is supposed to be some drag ?

I will be getting my used OEM LSD soon, so I will be working on it. Since this will be my first time working on such a diff, I have several questions. 1. I heard some people mentioning about removing the side shims installed by the factory that goes between carrier and side gear. Is this a must...

So I ordered some parts through my toyota dealer a few months ago and just got them today. The parts prices were cheap, so I bought them. They are: 48725-14010 x 2 48725-14020 x 2 The cost was roughly 21 USD a bushing. So I payed and waited 3 months. Then last month I was contacted by the...

Update. Considering how much trouble I have with my diff and with the front bearing shell being somewhat loose in the housing. I decide to buy this diff from a japan auction. Regardless if my current diff turns out ok over the long run. https://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=u1094174645 It costs...

No its still Weir Eliminator with shims. Yes I have a holding tool which i made last year. Ok here is the full rundown. I got my impact and proceed to impact the hell out of that nut, and it wont budge. So I removed the diff. Checked the preload, it was basically almost 0 preload. With the diff...

I bought a air impact and will receive it soon. I am gonna tighten up the pinion nut 1/16th to 1/12 th of turn to crank up the preload. I looked at my notes between the 3rd rebuild and compare to the 4th and 5th rebuild, one major difference is the pinion preload. It was very high on the 3rd...
