Surprisingly Australia is one of the world leaders in this sort of performance modification. Sure Puddy does some great work beefing up a S2000 diff but the bullet proof solution is Diff Technics R200 upgrade. Diff Technics are Australian.
Likewise, one of the best transmission upgrades is by PPG. Guess what, PPG are Australian.
I love what Puddy is doing and if it wasn't for freight I would be all over it. Instead I found a highly regarded Aus diff (and gearbox BTW) specialist and worked with him to upgrade my diff. There is no OS Giken or Kaaz center. The Torsen unit is fine and not the part that fails. I supplied a new crown wheel and pinion and the specialist had new end caps machined and a steel collar turned. The result is a diff that nicely holds the power my car generates. Took 9 months but the results are impressive so far.
This guy look after people in melb? wonder how much would cost to send my diff and gearbox to sydney and back LOL!.

I've been calling around and found a gearbox with 54ks on it from an AP1 in japan. he says its smooth as and he'll swap it over with my one and install for 2000. he said he can also rebuild for 2200. what do i do? he thinks i shouldnt bother rebuilding and the one with 54ks is ok, but i think he's just trying to sell that off. i really want an AP2 gearbox from overseas that has the better syncros and gearing ratios. pff, haven't fixed my diff and im already looking at gearboxes. i hope that the diff can last me long enough to save up and get it all done at once and save on labor cost.
