http://www.palmside.co.nz/ Just please don't waste their time if you are not genuinely after a diff!
Don't say I never help you guys out.... :)
honda's wernt listed on the site?
in the US they go for 900 retail, 800 is a good find. Which is around 1250-1080 not shipped. If that site does sell them locally, for quaife retail, then yes, it would be about what us said..
obx ran me 400aud.
can u get ITR and other LSD's off ebay for like 300usd for b-series? b-series guys have nothing to complain about..... oh u guys hear about the b to d-series transmission plate they are making!! :)
I am using an OBX...and its holding up just great! You really feel its effects especially in the wet.
I did worse actually, used a D series LSD and machined it to fit a B Series Gearbox. Needless to say, my mechanic wasn't impressed.
OBX are the "xforce" of new zealand from what i have seen.. Someone mentioned turbo manifolds "cracking" all the time and a few other things... I spoke to the OBX rep in New Zealand at the New Zealand 4 and rota drags a week or so ago... He said the manifolds will crack if u hang giant turbos from them but with smaller units they are fine, - bracing was mentioned if u liked to hang giant sized turbos.. .. Anyway my twenty five cents is go with the diff as Most company's have teething problems when they first start out....
bah, the manifolds crack regardless of what turbo is on them. It's a result of poor welds and low quality material.
It's worth mentioning that OBX doesn't actually make any parts, they just rebadge and resell, so quality of their parts can vary a whole lot.
yeah well know a few guys that have them and they havnt crack'd but yeah no biggie... A
$400 AUD for a OBX LSD is a damn good buy! It would certainly be interesting to see how it all goes WEQ! Did you buy this second hand, or from a shop in the US?
There was a trader on hondatech who was selling Quaiffe's for around $7-800 USD around 6-12 months ago, when i was looking for clutch/flywheel combos not sure if he is still selling them at that price though. I do recall him stating that their was a price rise from the manufacturers.
As Saxman stated though, the quality might vary from each unit, coming from a manufacturing industry myself, if the QA procedures in place arent up to scratch it, 1 out of every 50 LSD's could be faulty... Thats the gamble you take i guess!
I really was getting more at the fact that the quality of their products varies a lot from model to model. I.e. the lsd's get pretty good reviews, but their turbo manifolds are absolute crap.Quote:
