If you're spinning one of the rear wheels, and the other one goes the other way or stays still, it's an open-wheel / single-spinner diff. There's a technical name for it that I was taught a few months ago, but I've forgotten it. :)

 

Keep up the good work. :y:

Then it's a single-spinner. If it's just the wheel you're moving and the tailshaft, it's a single-spinner diff. :)

Could be this too. Looking at the provided video above, it does look like the problem.

 

Try moving the other wheel and see what happens. :)

What ? No I've welded it up now, it was a standard centre and I attacked it with a mig welder... The axles were fine and the teeth on all the gears were in excellent condition...

Bled the brakes again today and took this for a lap in the paddock, had it sliding 3rd gear and was all good unroll the front brakes locked on again, had to crack the bleed nipples to get back to the shed because it was just spinning the rears, so I thought stuff it, brand New slotted/ cross drilles 280mm rotors, steel braided brake lines and willwood calipers are on their way.

 

Also got hold of a sleeve kit for ae86 struts for cheap and I'm thinking about making a set of rear coilovers, just not sure if they will fit, anyone personally done this before?

Fuel system is done, bit rough lookin but it does the job, have to pull it back out soon to paint the interior anyways.. my outer tie rods and steering knuckles showed up too, they are 20mm shorter than power steering knuckles and my god are they beefy !! 20mm thick.

also seriously thinking about buying a 2way LSD for the t series diff.. just might have to save for a little while but lol.

You worked out what was causing that brake problem? Mine did the same sort of thing a while back, but it was the master cylinder being full of 30 year old grit and one of the pistons in it would jam forwards leaving the brakes on :/ had to pull it out and recondition it.

 

Car is looking very nice too, soo jealous of some of those parts you have coming in!! You going to keep that zebra pattern continued up the side of the car?

its because of my stuff up I did last year, ling story short the seals in brake systems don't like engine oil lol, i want to use a larger master cylinder and brake booster but i'm really no good at messing around with that sort of stuff, might pay someone to do it one day, all depends on how it feels with the big calipers on there.. and no um not keeping it lol, will be painting the car properly once all the suspension is in, so maybe 2 months or so
