Nick,
1. No S3 TRX's are LSD's stock.
2. I think the $2500 id a pretty reasonable price for what you have said
but Budget racers would probably have to do it a bit differently! A better
housing to use is the Gazelle (S110) H190 rear axle (stronger housing and
mounts are same as Stanza! Fitted with HR31 discs/calipers this will be
easier to keep within specs and will be a shit load cheaper.
3. The toe figure is measured at the front of tyre surface on a line
marked around the tyre centre line.. The toe is measured at the front of
the tyre tread centre as compared to the rear of the tyre tread centre
(using (580mm diam wheel tyre combination)
Cheers
Feral Errol

Errol et. al.
I have got some quotes for a diff. conversion.
Bosjnak Engineering were the best, I thought, and wanted $2500 for new
housing, axle tubes, 4 pinion BTR LScentre,my choice of ratio, and VR
commodore calipers and discs. All new components, except for the discs.
This guy won't use second-hand parts, but those that will want at least
$900 in labour to shorten etc.. a Pintara/Skyline axle - and I would have
to supply the parts and hope they last.
That kind of money is more than I have spent on the car so I'd like to try
using a Bluebird axle.
I have just done some quick measuring and the Stanza is ~1285mm backing
plate to backing plate, and the Bluey is 1313mm.
I know of two s3 Bluebird TRX's in my area that are available for wrecking
Q1. Are all s3 TRX's LSD?
Q2. Do you think that this conversion will work? (obviously suspension
pickup points will have to be converted to Stanza spec.)
Note that body width at rear axle is qouted in the homologation papers as
1600mm, I can lip but not flare the guards.
Q3. I know that you (Errol) recommended 3/4 degree camber and 3mm toe for
the rear axle, but where do you measure the toe from, or what is the figure
in degrees?
Thankyou in advance
Nick.
