[orc3368]

to check ithe lsd jack the car up lift both side of the front wheel then turn the wheels.if the wheels feels hard to turn an the both side of the wheels is turning in the same directions then congrars is lsd.and for the oil just use lsd gearbox oil. i'm using ELF(tractorelf) gearbox oil. dono laa if you wanna use the expensive ones

 

[JeRanKonG]

thanx orc3368.. usually how when do u change the oil for the lsd ah???
really appreciate ur advice.. thanx again..

 

[JeRanKonG]

silver le .. u still got time to use internet ah.. not block form ofis ah???
where got money .. bagan lalang can after payday loh..hheheheh...

 

[orc3368]

you drain 1st the previous oil from the bottom nut (dono how to say that particular thing) then open the speedometer sensor (be careful with the pin) then just refill it up.

normally i just follow my mood when wanna change the oil maybe 2 months once maybe more.(after all the oil is cheap rm42 per 3 liter.)

 

[JeRanKonG]

i think send to qualified mechanic better huh?? if chg every month better right..?
the kick when vtec open is better wif lsd right..
by the way what type of spring n absorbers u using mine is too low .. wanna chg to eibach n koni.. many ppl say gud..

 

[orc3368]

ya laaaa learn the trick from them 1st then d.i.y loo. hahahahhahahah. when vtec open with lsd???dono laa i haven't drive any vtec others than mine. for spring and absobers i'm using bilstein. ok ok laaa quite bumpy.but i think koni will be good enough rather then TIEN.mahal oooooo

 

[JeRanKonG]

betoi tu orc... my fren using tein on his ej/ek.. quite ok but his one is second hand n just reserviced.. dunno got diff or not.. eibach for me is enuff n dunno wanna get adjustable or not.. my fren recommend short stroke abs .. but dunno where to find..

 

[orc3368]

if i were you get the adjustable ones jangan beli 2 kali.hahaha like me got cusco adjustable for sale but i take the bilstein now menyesal..... what do you mean by "abs"??

 

[JeRanKonG]

short stroke absorbers.. usually adjustable bumpy or not.. cause jln near my place mcm estet.. pothole everywhere.. lekuk lagi..humm.. wanna cry everytime i hit the potholes... my fren his rim pecah lagi .. hit the d**m potholes... so sad... i think wanna chg to standed springs but i pantang jumpa korner.. have to lipat one..heheh

so jerankong, converted liau?i oso planning to do conversion but oso like u totally new to this...take some pics of them doing the conversion mah so can make manual here ;)

 

[arturo]

i heard from some ppl that when looking for halfcut look for those that are dirty n with white fungus growing on the inside of the engine bay.reason?cos japan cold country n got frost when put the car in scrapyard so when the frost defrost,some sort of fungus grows there...oni special from japan ;) other than that i think the rest oni a certified mech can confirm if totally ok or not everything.

 

[hattech-v]

did u mean the hafkat with white fungus is better than common one?

 

[semutapi]

I think he means that engine never being touch or nobody dimantle part/ changing
anything had fungus. If no fungus maybe somebody had 'sapu' something already....

 

[soulfly]

Still remember last time when I bought my halfcut (Integra DA8) .... when we checked and started the halfcut, even the aircond was still working... haha.

I think doesn't matter any EG, from D-series convert to B-series for sure need mounting modification.

 

[Opt-ion]

Yup any sifu in klang valley knows where is a gud place 4 halfcuts???

 

[arturo]

i oso not sure what the white fungus mean...maybe its cos the ppl at the halfcut place havent washed the engine bay...still as is when it came from japan.sort of a way to confirm the halfcut from japan n not from somewhere else i guess...how to make sure we not spending a whole 4-5k on junk wor...no step by step guide on what to check n what to watch out for?

 

[JeRanKonG]

fungus..me olso dont quite know one ..ask my mechanic fren to see....start onli once a aircond still worked fine.. n no teruk leaks.. eg6 halcut lsd.. salim je..got it for 5800... cause ask everywhere also quite the same... but encounter some problem(dugaan).. already kautim...so got to do the piping next..after do the jpj n puspakom stuffs.. sori le didnt reply earlier... quite bz.. btw is it better to put vtec controller or otherwise??? some say to preserve engine dont put??? true or not???
