Obx are usually just a replica company.
Need an LSD?
yea brad i think i do man
my diffs playing up
went diff joint 2day and my left driveshaft is gone, leaking fluid n all
getting it checked out properly next week
culd have problems with the centre
anything u have in mind?
Pull it apart first and find out what is actually wrong, your lsd might be fine it could be the other parts that are farked. Also if your left shaft is leaking fluid it might be your left shaft that's busted.
Yup, there is a lot of confusion about what goes wrong in a diff and what needs to be replaced. The OBX unit (and KAAZ etc) are diff centres. But it's usually the crown wheel and pinion that go, not the centre.
yea from what has been checked to this point, my left driveshaft is gone 100%.

look at all the grease thats spalleterd underneath the gar and the angle the driveshaft is at
hopefully wen i lift the car back up to stock height 2day ang get the driveshaft changed, the problems and noise will go.
if it does
next week i will be putting the diff in for a reconditioning and possibly getting the differential collar changed to a J's racing special different collar
hopefully after this, things will run much smoother.
right now its a bit annoying because no differential joint says they are touching my car due to the rear end being so low.
which is kidna weird since im pretty sure there are s2000s that are muhc lower then mine.
thanks for the help guys
i will keep u guys posted
In my experience either the driveshaft tripod breaks, or the diff breaks. Never seen both go at once.
I'd say fix the driveshaft and drive on.
LOL, I just realised you started this thread talking about an OBX diff centre. Then we moved on to the crown wheel and pinion. Now it looks like a driveshaft.
And all because your car is slammed. I'm guessing you have 'yoof' on your side. ;)
lmfaoooooooooo
yea man
well i was going to make another thread but i might aswell use the 1 i have made already.
im getting the driveshaft changed
just want to no some experience people have had ith differentials. Im now on my 3rd driveshaft. and thank god the diff casing hasnt snapped.
Reckon your car might be trying to tell you something?Quote:

guess its time 2 swap driving styles...or buy a s15 :P
nah i cant let go of my baby =[
When you replace your drive shafts, do you replace them with brand new gear? Or just second hand? I've got a spare LHD one if you want to give it a bash.. It's pitted, and the spider bearings are stuck though... lol
