Where to weld..

[ae86 drifter]

one wheel will still drive,the crown a pinion has to be removed for it to be ashored it wont break ever,theres 4 weld points

i blew my locker at the track drove it home. Re welded n then blew it at hachi cruise and wheels locked cos one of the plates got caught in the crown n pinion gears. Just reversed un lodged it and drove it home 1 1/2hrs at 100km

thanks ae86 drifter.. i just had a look at my 2 diffs.. and i was thinking 'something doesnt look right here'

[ae86 drifter]

no probs dude,ive got a locker and havent broken anything yet,strong as nails

Ok so im guessing 'weld here' is the center..
the thing to the keft is the 'crown wheel' ? ? ? ?

if i pull the crown off.. i can pull the center out ???
and i just fill the center with weld???

is there any special things i should know about pulling it apart and putting it back together
stuff that i should do or dont do?

[keiichi]

heed my words. when you weld it make sure u weld plates over the holes otherwise if it DOES break, weld material will fall out and get caught in the gears... horrible sound! and it will stay locked ne way.

[ae86 drifter]

thats not what i ment

see the spider gear where it says WELD HERE.fill that whole right up to the level on the casing,theres 4 points around the casing that has to be done

probably best u dont take the crown off due to it having to be retensioned once back on,u will snap an axle b4 a diff if its done right,when i said one wheel will spin thats if an axle snaps

[Monk]

I just had a look at mine..
so going by what your saying.. basiclaly i dont have to pull a single thing off..
just stick the mig in all 4 holes and fill the holes up with weld till it gets to the suface

then put the diff back in the car?

If this the strongest method?
or will i expect it to go back to spinning 1 wheel in a few months.

put simply an S series isnt an easy diff to do,because of the casing, that 1stpic is perfect and u can do much more then that
if its an easy series and ur drifting its gonna break anywhere in time... and if its a t series ull prob be doing axles regualary, fact of life
