R160 3.9 plated diff


shady

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, first post hopefully this is the right place.

 

I've seen a r160 3.9 plated rear diff and matching gearbox on trademe.

 

Apparently the gearbox has been rebuilt with ra 1-4th, 3.9 final but won't go into 4th, just wondering if anyone knows the one I'm talking about and if you think it's worth it

 

Seller is asking $1000 for both

 

Thanks in advance for any help

I don't know how this could be a good deal, unless the center diff in the gearbox is also a plate model or something.

 

A gearbox with an unknown fault; maybe $100 worth, if that, possibly scrap value?

 

So you're paying $900+ for a used R160 plate diff. Not worth it, much as I love plate diffs.

Yea your right. It is a gamble and could end up costing more than it's all worth to fix.

Just looking for the best/strongest options in terms of a replacement 5 speed

I wonder if the gearbox has got a loose nut on one of the shafts..
It has happened before more than once..
Might be a cheap fix..


Would having a loose nut prevent it from going into 4th? . Thanks

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
