I was preparing to ask you about bolt length when reading your above post about adding spacers so large. Glad you noticed and can get the right length studs, it's never good to have a wheel loose or worse!

Mods 53 & 54 - Mfactory LSD and ER sports oil cooler

Car is off to Active this week for another lot of constructive surgery
Finally getting around to having the LSD installed

While it's waiting for the diff builder to do his magic, will also get the stock oil cooler replaced with ER sports OC (courtesy of Kookie, thanks mate )

Old oil cooler looks like its taken a battering and needs to be retired, unless someone wants to buy it off me for $50 lol

Pic 1 - Mfactory LSD and install kit
Pics 2 & 3 - Beaten up stock oil cooler
Pics 4 & 5 - New oil cooler with black anodized finish

Mate, that looks like the wrong oil for that diff. Says its a limited slip oil and they should only be used for clutch based LSDs. Should be using conventional 75W-90 gear oil.

"Oil: Regular 75w90 Synthetic Oil for Street/Spirited use. Heavier 75w140 for Race Applications. Recommended brands include Torco SGO and Redline. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as ?Special LSD Oil?; this is just marketing, typically by the LSD manufacturer trying to sell their own-brand Oil. By using one of the recommended oils above, not only are you saving over the premium prices commanded by the ?Special LSD Oil?, your LSD will also perform better as you will not have a tonne of friction modifier pre-added to your oil (the higher the amount of friction modifier, the lower the torque threshold of the LSD). If you find the ?chatter? too much, you can always add additional Friction Modifier (we recommend Torco Type-F) to ?fine-tune? the LSD to your requirements. "


From the mfactory website hopefully this clears up some confusion
