Quaife!!!

 

Yup.

 

QUAIFE, is no joke that **** is the best dam thing for your buck and if u do happen to break it "which would never happen" it has a lifetime warrenty and u cant beat that.

 

i had a quaife, but when i changed trannies it wouldnt work with my new set up, my cusco seems to work fine now.

 

I agree but not everyone has 800bux for a quaife.

 

quiafe again.. and again... lifetime warranty cant beat that..

 

and you can even tell them you were racing on it and beat the crap out of it and they still fix or replace it if there is problems. I dont know any other company with a warrenty like that. It's not super cheap, but you have to think of it more as a long term investment.

 

lol you know you have a good product when you can tell the company that
it was used and abused.
Hey didnt Mark Brauning break one? I wonder if it was installed correctly..?

 

How hard are they to install? Thanks guys, keep it coming if there are more suggestions

2 problems with that. It still uses the stock diff which will break. I dont care what you do, the factory spiders will break. Also its a clutch type which will wear out over time as the quaife unit will not. As far as install goes, it is not to hard of a task for someone who has wrenched for a little bit. You need the skills to be able to open up the transmission and be able to remove the gear set and pull the stock diff. You reuse your stock final drive and mph gear. If you have a ls or b16, just put them back together. If your a gsr or type r, you need to set the prelode and have the correct size bushings. A service manual can help you with this as its basicly like factory replacement work.

go with the best

 

pretty easy to install. we put the quaife in mine tonight in about an hour. its pretty straight forward especially since you dont have remove the factory diff bearings you just pull the diff out and press the bearings on the new one and drop it in.

 

Yes the stock diff will break eventually, no matter what you do, it will go sooner or later. I found that out the hard way. But ya if you got the cash go for the quaife. Or you can do like me try and save up and prey to win the lottery .
