Family drama is the worst drama. Sorry to hear that.

My sister thought that my dad was a monster until the day he died. Then told everyone on how great he was after he died.

Family feels so distant to me now that I'll maybe only shed a tear when my dog dies. The rest can drop dead and I might be caught at a bar celebrating. I have Susan and that's all I need to be happy.

It dont look big in the pic but this bird was gigantic. 29 pounder

I didnt think Id ever get done carving the breast meat on one side.

Since all the experts hang out on this thread (and I sincerely mean that), I have a question about the quaife diff. When installed in a non base model, the passenger side stub axle has to be cut (modified). I found a thread on here where one guy was having problems with his modified passenger side stub axle popping out.

How do you guys think the car would react if the passenger side stub axle popped out at high speed and under boosted power?

With a Quaife, you would loose all the go. It would be like lifting one tire on the rear. You can buy the correct stub axle from Z1 if you need one.

I'm just wondering if that's what could have caused my car to immediately go into a spin when I was doing the third gear pull. The guy I sold the quaife to has had the passenger side stub axle pop out twice on him.

Here's a pic of my stock VLSD axle stubs and the modded Z1 axle stub. The OS Giken has to use the modded stub too. You can see that the snap ring location is different between the left and right sides also.

I assume if the passenger side wasn't cut to the right length then it wouldn't snap into place and have a tendency to pop out? Like I mentioned, it's happened twice to him and I wonder if that's what happened to me.

If it's not the stub axle then I would assume maybe it's a failed snap ring? Quaife warranties their diffs for life, I wonder if it might not be a bad idea to send it to them and see if it's a warranty issue.
