welded differential not working?...look.

ok so today i went out with a couple of friend to bww and what not. then i go home but i go to a lot and try pull off some figure ochos. all goes good yadda yadda yadda. i jump on 90/94 to go home and as usual, im going pretty fast. half way home, i start getting this crazy wining and grinding noise. i let off and i hear this crazy like knockage coming from the back. i take it easy going home now. im still getting these loud ass grind/wines when i accelerate and that knocking when i let off. i get home and drive around streets turning and crap. now the diff doesnt do the usual tire skipping and chirping. the ground is dry by my house already. then i go to a wet ally and do small burnout. left two marks but ive done burnouts with the open differential and it left two marks i go to a lot and just do circles, not sliding. no chirp/tire skip. i cant mess around much by my house cause there is police warehouse kinda thing. not sure if its a police station but popo is always around. i just put in the diff and havent really beat on it. it was used before and from what i know it is pretty old and used. wtf is going? any help? really dont want to take out the diff, but if i have to ill just put my open again till i get a new welded. and yes i filled it up when i changed it the diff. is this normal or wut the fuck. i mean, no tire chirp/skip when i turn now? wtf is going on. hit me up and let me know. i drive fast on the highway so i dont want this shit blowing up on me while im doing 110...

drain the oil and look for metal. then open it up and see if the welds broke.

Wtf is with the "I haul ass on the highway" talk. Am I the only fuck that crawls along in the left lane all the time?

20 bucks says your diff be fuxored.
Check your axles also.

No offense, but is this really necessary.....

Once in a while I guess we all get the rush to want go a a bit faster... but driving 110 a lot cause you like to drive fast is just... i dunno.

of course you dont vlad.

who welded it and how long ago?

why are you going fast? in a 240sx? are trying to prove something? slow down..i barely go above 75 when i drive

haha i hit a speed limiter between 110-115.. its never consistant..
sounds like you blew it up

We don't condone reckless driving here.

thats the problem. i bought it used from this guy that had it in his car. and he said the welded was on when he bought the car. so im guessing its been a while.

1) get home quicker 2) what does it matter what car your in? 3) why would i try to prove something in a 17 year old car? 4) its not like i can do it all the time either. i mean, you cant be speeding when there is shit ton of traffic. i only do it when i stay out till the wee hours of the morning and there is no traffic at all.

i thought it locks up when you blow it up?

shit sucks. right when im about to really enjoy it more with the 5 speed. oh well. i kinda expected it to blow up. just not this quick. i hate differential swaps. i think im just gonna get a 2 way this summer. fuck this.

both involve $$$
so what are you doin?
Diff or 5-speed swap?

y dont u just reweld the diff if thats the problem?

im doin the 5 speed. i might just get the diff welded again but ill be running open again till i have time and money to get it rewelded cause im fixin to jump on coilovers right now. gonna ask my pops if i can drive his truck while i do 5 speed and diff swap. so, my poor chassis is out of commission till i finish, proly by like next saturday ill be done. i have a busy schedule during the week. shit sucks.

dont bitch to me about diff swaps.

when i blew up my nismo 2 way on the road. i couldnt drive period. i had to tow it to a nissan (where i work)

and since they closed the shop before i got there. i had to replace my diff outside by myself while it was snowing last year. i swapped it for another open. i was pissed.

anywyas. you said 2 way.. i bought my kaaz new from TF for 775? plus 200 dollars to install, for the shims and what not.. i saved for a grip to afford it

Dude same Shit happened to me last year same noise and all but when I stopped to check what was going on I noticed metal shavings and gear oil all over the rear of car. The cheap ass welds broke. And blew a small hole in my cap. I wrost part is the guy who welded it guaranteed his work said none of his welded diffs ever broke but wouldn't weld me another one or get me another open for free since he guaranteed his work. Plus I guess I'm not the onle one who's diff broke from this dude. just put your open back in it takes less then 45 min to remove and install a diff

hs13kls- that fucking sucks dude. im glad this shit didnt go out on my while i was doing the works or going 100+, id probably be a goner. yea id love a 2 way but for the mean time, i think ill stay welded.

Adrian- yea i remember we were talking about that person. im fisho not going to him. heading to some polak to do my shizz. thanks for the heads up reminder though...

heres how to get your diff welded!!!

built ford tufffffffffffffff

Why do you keep saying how you go fast? I don't think anyone really cares.

In my opinion its kind of stupid to need to go that fast just because you "want to get home quick".....

Are you doing it to show of? Cause its a old Nissan, nice car, but its no Ferrari lol...

he flies in that n/a monster and wants it known!!

fyi, i dont give two shits what people think. what do you want me to say? im glad it didnt go out on me while i was going slow? jeez. take a chill pill bill. like you said, nobody cares. im not trying to prove anything. and i hope that if you ever come down for a meet/cruise, you dont act all pussy willow when you lose us cause you like going the speed limit. cause trust me, you will lose the pack...

ok fuck this. im gonna start my 5 speed shit today.
