So I just need to get it shimmed up or something you reckon? Can anyone suggest a good place in VIC (preferably as close to Ballarat as possible) to have this work done?

170XXX Sorry, I should have specified. It's a BF Mk1 XR6T so it has an LSD.

Yeah, it's always the same side. The passenger side never single spins.

Not sure what oil is in it. Nah, I don't do a lot of skids. I do the odd one here and there, and I've never cut hoops in this car.

Hello all! Great forum here. I'm having some trouble with my diff. It seems to be single spinning. There is no drive to the drivers side wheel most of the time, but if I really hang the arse out, it seems to grab and start doing what it's meant to. When I attempt to slide it, it clunks alot. Not very violently, it's quite a gentle clunk. Is this a CV or the center itself? I've stuck my head under there and can't see anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas? Cheers! Braiden

Bump. Anyone?

My passenger seat stopped moving the other day. It seemed to slowly get stiffer and stiffer when it moved back and forth and now won't move at all. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks for the help guys!

Nah, I had to change down 2 gears for it to go back to normal. Which is why it's so weird.

It's not necessarily a misfire, just sorta sounds like one. This is why I am asking.

Bump. Anyone else?

How is this relevant?

Full tank, not sure about the filter, and I dunno if it does it if I get to 140 slowly.

Hey guys and gals, I have a few queries: 1. Recently I decided to spin my speedo needle up a bit further than usual. For some reason when I hit roughly 140kmph (4th gear) I get a massive abrupt loss of power. After it happened I changed up to 6th and just coasted down to 110kmph. I put the car in cruise, and it felt like it was miss-firing. Clutched in, dropped the car into 4th, clutched out. Still "missing" a bit, but all of a sudden I feel it go back to normal. What is going on here? The car seems fine normally, only when getting to that speed does it crack it. Car is a BF MkI with no mods except for a PW stage 1 cooler. I know the car did this in its stock form also. 2. When the car is dead cold it doesn't seem to boost like normal if you give it stick. I assume it needs to warm up and I usually don't give it hell til it's warm. Just wondering if this is normal. 3. How much oil usually makes it's way into the intake? When I changed my cooler I noticed a fair amount of oil in there. Car has 150,000 on it and was serviced well. Sorry about the long post but this is my first boosted car. Many questions to ask! Cheers, Braiden.

Thanks for all the advice guys!
