Rb6 diff setting

[deano43]

Hi all I got myself a rb6 last weekend and the quality of the kit is as people say excellent everything fit perfect but the one thing that was disappointing was the diff nut plastic holder very feeble one lug almost came off so I am ordering a alloy one of insideline racing, anyway when I initially built the car I am sure the instructions mentioned that you tighten the diff up fully and set the car to slip through the slipper clutch only so A. Is this true B. do you ever back the diff of after running the car or just keep it tight all the time C. If you do have to back it off by how much and does it harm the diff at all

Thanks for your replies in advance

Regards

Deano

P.s Kevin at insideline said much more racing do a alloy shock tool does anyone know of anyone else that does one the one in the kit just spun after three shocks worth again a bit disappointed but the rest of the kit is quality so very happy overall

The manual states to tighten the diff until the gear does not turn whilst securely holding both outdrives, but at the same time check that both outdrives rotate freely in the opposite direction whilst holding the gear.
Also don't over grease the balls and plates with too much silicone diff grease, I've done this before and although it feels nice and smooth, it slips even when fully tight.
