This is somewhat true but I highly doubt this is a mod to endanger your diff. Throwing slicks on the back is what kills diffs.

 

Why is this somewhat true ?
I have solid diff mounts, a diff brace, a torque brace, I am fitting a gearbox brace and strengthened power plant frame, on what basis is the diff more vunerable now than it was before fitting the gearbox brace? I would of guessed it would be less vunerable if anything?
I like the day to day drivability too much to upgrade my diff anyway, so if does blow, I will be fitting another stock one.

 

Well a host of work done on my car including the gearbox brace.
There is a little extra noise but only when lifting off the accelerator.
Gear change feels much better none of the sloppiness you get normally, it's now nice and tight going into each gear.
When I go to the drag strip at the end of the month I will see if it
can still do it's job well. So far i'm well pleased with it.
Cannot say how much noise anyone else may pick up once fitting it, as I already have a noisy car on deceleration because I have solid diff mounts and diff brace.
It's also not as flimsy as it looks on the pictures it's a solid bit of kit.

 

so over everythign else to stiffen the drivetrain (that you had on before)... you DID infact pick up some extra noise on decel? do you feel that with the addition of the brace (compared to just the other stiffening components you had on the car previously) that you picked up a large or small increase in stiffness/rigidity?? thanks, heath

 

The slop in the system is like a shock absorber. Increased rigidity will increase stress on the other components. Im saying there is an affect but compared to running huge slicks its not really hitting the richter scale as far as breaking the pumpkin/tranny/anything goes.

 

don't know how to make this an attachment/image

its been a long time since i took japanese... i can only read the hiragana, and cant make out much of the meaning. can anyone tell me what the gist of it is? maybe ill hand this off to my friends gf and have her translate . either way i want one. GB anyone??? ill be the first on the list, and ramy (FDnewbie) said he could possibly get one going if theres interest. -heath

 

anyone else in for a group buy??? ehh? come on...... you know you want one as much as i do.

 

Heath, I can help out no prob. Lets if there's enough interest, and if there is, we'll take the next step to get a GB set up.

Hard to tell if there is really any difference in stiffness, cause I fitted hks drag suspension at the same time and it feels like when I was last in the U.S and drove a buick. It's now very soft almost like your floating and rolly polly around bends.
Not.
I have to look into the noise issue some more cause I also noticed my kgparts diff brace makes my diff sit alittle higher, the end that connects to the prop shaft is tilted up. I think the bend in the diff brace is a bit too sharp and I am not sure if this is contributing to the noise.
The extra noise is minimal, but I will either fit another diff brace, or maybe run over my diff brace with my 4x4 and flatten it out a little and see if the noise lessens.

 

any updates on this ? any feedback on this brace? i want one!

 

I beg to differ....

So, this bolts to the gearbox/transmission.. correct?

I would not be interested if it is a diff brace though, since I already have the banzaii racing diff brace.

 

Yes its a gearbox brace so it bolts to the gearbox/transmission and the chassis.

 

i want one!
