Got the C4 today. It looks even better then in the pics. The convertor seems to have been recod lately which is a plus even though eventually it will cop a 2500 histall.
Just gotta get a shift kit for it now and that bit is sussed. Also organised a new diff for the ute today. I was going to mod the sedan one but a XG 3.45 LSD fell into my hands complete from disc to disc. Couldnt say no! Im a bit worried that it might be a bit low on the freeway with the lack of overdrive but we shall wait and see. If worst comes to worst I cannot see too many issues offloading a 3.45 wagon LSD

{USERNAME} wrote: Well done Matt, glad it all came together nicely! I'm not sure how the C4 will go but my single rail with the 3.45 was pretty low. It didn't really like going above 80k's when cruising. It was sitting around the 3 grand mark in 4th. I've never played with auto's so I can't say if that'll be the same case for you. Well Im tipping mine will be the same. At the end of the day 4th in the single rail is still 1.1 ratio and 3rd in the C4 is 1.1. It would be damn nice for destroying tyres but.............LOL

BENJ said he'd swap the 3.45:1 with his 3.23:1 wagon diff on the previous page...
Take him up on it! |

BenJ If you LSD is nice and tight and you wanna come out to my place when I pick it up and swap them over and give me a hand fitting the diff to the ute I reckon we can work something out. One of those jobs where the extra pair of hands comes in real handy.

With yours being a series 1 EB 6 cylinder it would be a 25 spline diff wouldnt it?

It has the flat flange like the EB2 diffs, not like the EA ones that have the yoke.
I also have a question re the XG diff. Does it have the same brake setup as the EB? or does it have the EF/EL rotors and calipers etc? Anyway, will give you a buz sometime tomorrow, and we can have a chat about it. Cheers BenJ

Cheers BenJ No idea need to have a look at it when I pick it up. After looking at your RPM calcs in your thread just then I reckon Ill hang onto it and see how it goes and make a decision after running it for a while.

You'd have to get the EL handbrake brackets we fitted taken off and rewelded on the incoming rear axle - unless you intend changing the pinion and crownwheel/carrier.

Never fear Snap my friend.
That was one of the main things I was concerned with, as I didn't want to go 'backwards' in that department. But, as above, this exchange is not going forward, and all your hard work, which is most appreciated, will be put to use. Soon, I promise. BenJ

Nah, I figured that.
Don't forget I'll have a 3.45 crownwheel and pinion spare after I've recoed that LSD carrier to go into my wagon, as I'm retaining the 3.23 gear set.
