Not stressed about the cost of the freight I know the RD28 is not the greatest. This is a single mum with a blown engine (cracked pistons I suspect) just needs to get it running she would be happy with a running RD28 at the moment. The mob that have the car are trying to charge her $14000 for a new ...

"I twice went through shims a couple of years ago, one cooked up so much it melted the plastic cage on the needle roller bearing. I have since been using synthetic red line oil.

I must admit I have never broken a centre and I only use standard size tyres However sometimes I do get rough and am concerned about the bad press they receive. I do have a spare but was trying to eliminate the weak spot, Jack Mac can actually supply a 4 pinion centre for $750 and the Tru Track is ...

Anyone Broken a Trutrack
Guys I am looking at getting rid of the 2 pinion diff from the front of my old Series 3 Stage1 V8.
I was wondering if the Trutrack could be a relatively cheap way of getting rid of it.
It already has maxi axles and I cant find any 4 pinion centres.
Thanks

Rover motors at least the early model ones were high volume low pressure when it came to oil. Do a Google search and you will find heaps of info if they are tired they may have 0-10 psi at idle when hot and 30-40 when running at 2500 rpm. If they are healthy they usually have 15-20psi at idle when ...
I have a detroit locker in a Salisbury Diff in my stage 1 I have been very impressed with it, Yes it does bang occasionally but I havent seen mud or rain in the Centre for a long time so havent seen any negative handling. While on the subject has anyone ever broken standard 24 spline axles by using ...

Advice on Salisbury Axles
Guys I put a detroit locker in the back of a Series 3 Stage 1 and I was wondering if anyone had done this without changing the axles? I was considering Maxis or Jack Mack but Over the years I have never seen a broken Salisbury Axle. Do I need to change these I only run the original size tyres?
Thanks

I have done the following 1 ...
