Tell me you're not doing this to an OEM diff...

 

^haha be nice to the guy

 

What part is wrong the diff. Cover or the fluid? I was told the cover was a direct fit on my diff and would help keep it cooler. As far as the fluid I know I will be changing it with the cover but have no idea what's best.

 

Yeah... diff... cooler... which really matters in your race car.

 

that's what im asking if I was asking if your name was Richard I would expect this response. Call me a newbe or whatever I was just wondering I have the diff. cover just sitting here was wondering if their was any better then OEM fluid out there for me. I thought this forum was for helping not talking crap cuz someone doesn't know what they are talking about!

 

Look, here's the thing.
Yes, you can put a fancy diff cover on. Sure you can put race-grade, high-performance fluid...

but at the end of the day, the only performance difference you're going to see is a "weight reduction" in your bank account.
If you already have the diff cover, you're not hurting anything installing it, but you're not helping anything either (other than forcing yourself to replace the fluid as part of regular maintenance)

If you're thinking about spending extra though, there are plenty of better places to spend a few extra $.
For example, replace your one-wheel-wonder rear end with an OEM VLSD out of a 350Z. Then, you're actually accomplishing something.

 

That's the kind of answere I was looking for. I'm a patient person maybe I will look into that and do everything at once.

 

Forget the 350Z vlsd - get a Quaife, Carbonetics, ATS Carbon, or Cisco lsd instead.

 

hey some guys just like to have a good looking undercarriage, can't really knock him for that

 

While I can't completely discredit the aesthetics of the undercarriage, functionality is more important.

In other words, it doesn't really matter how good the undercarriage looks if it's crappy. It's like putting those fake bbk covers on stock calipers. Just poser/wannabe/ricer.

 

I like my women to have a good looking undercarriage....

 

I bet you also want their undercarriage to be functional.....

 

Indeed I do. High on the list of requirements....

 

Then, according to NSFP, you might as well leave her OEM instead of doing a bunch of exploratory "surgery" down under. Cheaper, and she'll still look and ride fine.

NOTE: I realize now that Caelric is not the person who wanted to change his rear differential.
