What diff ratio have you got to go with it?
The prices on any spec of those boxes has gotten completely ridiculous now!

Prices have risen but some people are just taking the pi$$. I'm on my 3rd SR box in about 3 years so I had to do something. I imagine the total cost will be close to £2k for this conversion, ouch!
Not awfully interesting but an update nonetheless. New parts arrived last week so I set about fitting them at the weekend.
Old parts off.
Box of new bits.
One of the new hubs.
One side.
Other side.
Both.
Fairly simple job replacing the hubs. Bit of a strip down but now the garage is tidy the job was that much easier. Anyway, everything went back together and car's sat back on its wheels, JD! Have ordered some stainless flange head bolts to replace the heavily rusted boomerang ones. Apart from that, the exhaust needs refitting and then I can start on the front.
Edit:
Noticed this...
...so bashed the lip in to create about 3mm clearance.
Somehow I didn't notice the RLA touching the shield on installation of the RC BJ's. Definitely an issue as the shield had scuff marks on the inside where it had touched the disc in this area, not good. Hopefully problem solved now though.

Awesome Dude. Be good to replace that original greddy wastegate
Thanks man and yes it will. Did you have issues with yours as well?
Yeah, mine was actually falling apart. The metal was so bad you could break bits off fairly easily. The diaphragm was broken so wasn't that effective. The Tial replacement is brilliant.
Mine's also on it's last legs. For some reason it won't allow any boost control!?! The BOV was just a nice to have but should prolong the life of the turbo and improve response.
The diaphragm is probably dead on yours. Mine was having issues with boost. The new wastegate was a huge improvement lol.
Be interested to see how the Nov affects your response.
Quite impressed with these for the money (he says before checking they fit). Will be swapping out the poly bushes in order to really tighten the rear end. Diff will be receiving the polybush treatment.
Had a blooming good day on the motor yesterday!
After a good scrub. Felt good scraping off 16 years of grime.
Old PS bracket off
Taarks PS relocation ready to go on
And a few of it fitted.
Nice bit of kit. If you've removed your AC then you need this.
Only downer was finding one of the baffles in the bottom of my Tomei oil pan. really not impressed
Looks good Lee, how much did it cost you in the end? I've looked at those in the past. They do look like anyone bit of kit.
I think with postage it worked out around £100, but I then got stung £35 on import fees.
Other than it looking nice (which is certainly does), what's the advantage of this? Is it a lot lighter than the standard bracket?
Erm...it's tidy?
Shiny new wing teaser...it's pretty substantial
Viscous has gone so breather pots been relocated. Once rads back in I'll tidy the hoses, fit the shiny new OF bottle and refill the system.
Bracket was knocked up in minutes so needs finessing. Heights spot on though. Up higher than the rad with a nice gap to the bonnet.
Also, just bought some hose and AN fittings to replace the crusty fuel line running from the FPR-fuel rail and shorten the oil cooler lines to a sensible length. The parts add up but it's essential. I'd like to keep the fluids in my car and not have fires.

Welded and skimmed. Hopefully that's that. Now comes the fiddly job of refitting it.
Love the build.
Would you recommend the coolant breather pot then?
There was a guy on dw running one of those sump pans on his r32 with a Sr20vet in it and same thing happened, it destroyed the engine, So your pretty lucky boss
