So a few of you know before xmas the Supra did a right number on me, but breaking one of the worst things to go, being the diff. Parts for them are very rare and expensive.
One of the gears broke off during a launch wedging itself in the ring gear locking the wheels ruining the pinion and snapping the prop shaft well 3 months later and a solid day picking up completed parts and fitting, I finally have the on road with with an uprated prop, OS Giken diff, US spec pinion kit, solid shift bush and uprated rear diff bushes.
A massive thanks to Lee Perryman and team at SRD for building my diff with some of the required parts so quickly, supplying me with the uprated SRD prop and all the advice.
Paul Whiffin at Whibitz for supplying diff parts, the os giken diff and all the time taken with helping.
Dan at my local Toyota for the pinon kit and track rods (damaged during recovery)
And my work colleague (boss) Alex staying later after work yesterday to help with the start of the work on the car, me using his tools today and all the help with getting the stuff over the past few months.
Well what else better than pictures now I guess.
After removing the back plate, we found this
Pinion trashed
The remaining of the broken gear caused he damage to the pinon and crown
I had the case sand blasted
Os Giken Turned up
Painted the case to prevent rusting and to make it look more presentable
I also hand rubbed down the back plate to remove corrosion and painted that to suit the case
Inner of the back plate all cleaned and inspected
USA final drive kit
Mt GF drove all my parts to Lee and the team at SRD to rebuild the diff
