Hi Andrew How does the EFI system stack up do u think? Is it more economical? More power? Wider rev range? I'm really impressed with the system on the Pintara (r31). Its not exactly a powerhouse but it sure is cheap to run. The main problem with the diffs was (a) Viscous style not clutch pack (b) No idea of condition (c) Not cheap (d) The carriers were bloody hopeless and indicated that with the extra weight it would be very exxy to ship. It was just not worth it. I figured I could source some here far easier. I haven't been looking too hard but I have seen a few advertised. Cheers Mick
