gumbyz13 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Damn looks like I missed a lot...Got out there about 11, didn't see a bunch of those cars. Went out looking for a short runner intake for dual Mikunis, didn't find one but heard there was a guy selling one that left prior to me getting out there. Anyone know who that might be???

burrito213 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 when did the cars stop coming in? i left at 10 because the heat was zapping me. its funny because it seems the fashonably late cars and trucks got more attention because they had to drive through the people and vendors to their spot. it looked like a pack of meerkat's as the vehicle passed by: :D Quote Link to comment
Ultramagnus Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I left around 10:45 the sun was beating me like a step-child, i drank like 4 bottles of water. I got most of what i wanted mostly parts from 510 keeper and he took a nice side shot of my car. Quote Link to comment
SuperD Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 It's fairly simple to check to see if the diff is open, or otherwise non-functioning as a clutch LSD if it has the stub output shafts in place. If it's a clutch pack LSD (CLSD), then the output stubs will turn together when one is turned, and should continue to turn together unless a fair amount of force holds one side from turning. Or hold one and turn the input and there should be a strong amount of force trying to turn the output stub you're holding. On an open unit if you turn one output stub then the other will likely turn backwards, and if you hold one output stub and turn the input then the other output stub will turn without much force on the stub you're holding. This goes out the window if the carrier has been welded, obviously. Either way, a real CLSD R180 can easily run $800 and higher, so it would be prudent to pull the rear cover on the spot. Any seller that won't let you do this with the agreement that you'll buy it if it's truly an LSD is most likely a liar. The gear ratio is also a simple matter of counting rotations. the differential had no stubs on it, and i was unsuccessful in making it 'behave' like a open differential at the event. after getting the cover off i've still been unsuccessful to get the spider gears to rotate, so it's either damaged (i got disgusted and walked away before i could look that close and or remove the diff) or something is caught in the spider gears. are you the seller? because i've never seen someone so vigorously defend a seller that sold someone a part with a glorified fairy tale. or maybe I'm just use to a community more willing to stand behind the person that got scammed.

Clicky Dude I told you it wasn't a good deal. Because even if it's a r180 vlsd it's still a wrx one. Right? Quote Link to comment

Clicky I did see you walkin with the diff in question. I think that if the guy sold you a diff he knew was not an LSD I think we should burn him at the stake the next time we see him. I have no idea who this guy is but that is just wrong. I will say on behalf of ratsun SORRY you got burned. No way to treat a new 510 owner. :( Quote Link to comment

Clicky Yeah, I'm the seller :rolleyes: uhh, no. That's why I gave you all that info and said you should get your money back in my first response. :rolleyes: How about some pics of what you did get? It could be a VLSD from a subaru and the seller made a couple mistakes. A subaru VLSD carrier looks very similar to an open carrier. Half the time people don't know what they're selling, that's why I'm saying YOU need to be the one informed. Of course you should be able to get your money back, I'm just trying to help you get educated. See sig. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Have you called Jose to see who it was? I havn't seen any photos of that area @ all... Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 If you find that it's a subi diff let me know. I make the side axles that will bolt to the datsun half shafts. 1 Quote Link to comment
SSS510 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 are you the seller? because i've never seen someone so vigorously defend a seller that sold someone a part with a glorified fairy tale. or maybe I'm just use to a community more willing to stand behind the person that got scammed. Clicky Damm! Pretty strong words for someone that is trying to give you some good advice on Diffs :unsure: We know your upset and that you got burned! and we are trying to be sympathetic to your situation and offer up some good advice. The lesson, don't be gullible educate yourself to prevent the possibility of someone trying to take advantage of you overall vendors at the swapmeets are pretty honest but there is always a possibility that someone might try to take advantage or just make an honest mistake because they may also lack the knowledge or were given miss information as well.

hang_510 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 its a datsun, not a neon. we dont believe in fairly tales! are you the seller? because i've never seen someone so vigorously defend a seller that sold someone a part with a glorified fairy tale. or maybe I'm just use to a community more willing to stand behind the person that got scammed. you were not in another country, where you could not ask questions, you got it face2face! if you knew what you should be looking for, this would not of happened. how many other people there could have determined whether it was or not? how many did you ask? apparently this guys --> :hairy: warning was insufficient to wake you from the fairly tale that had your head spinning with delight. ... like my friend who did score an LSD for a steal! :fu: if you find the guy and still have an issue, you may still find someone here willing to help you out. :unsure: you never know, he could make it right on his own.

You let me know what CV to use and I'll make it happen. That was the first thing I asked when the guy came to me with the idea. Quote Link to comment

Mazdatsun89 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hey thanks for taking pics of my datsun. It's the first time someone has taken pictures of it. Excuse the interior of the car, it's also a daily driver. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 it's also a daily driver. i would hope so! ;) welcome. you should post up the build info! Quote Link to comment
NICKLE&DIME Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I know there is a guy who always shows up selling diffs and trannys at local meets. His stuff is garbage. You will learn that people are full of it, when it comes to honesty. I am quickly learning here. I have seen more people getting burned than anything else. Its a racket, you should approach the guy!!! :devil: Quote Link to comment
