yeah mate im so keen to hit the trak, previously my diff always let me down in and out of slides!

and plus it was so unpredictable and some what dangerous, you could feel the power switching between the 2 wheels on accelaration.

the diff with be in within the next couple of days so will let you guys know how it is! i have had experiance with a 2 way and am thankful this car is not my daily driver.

mm... clunky, lock and skip goodness :whistling:

Bl4ck32 runs a Nismo GT Pro 2 way and is on the softest setting running redline oil.

I remember there was a thread some time ago that discussed how clucky/shuddery 1.5/2ways were under slight slow cornering acceleration. It was mentioned that castrol syntheitc lsd oil pretty much shuts it up, I can't remember who it was but they too ran redline diff oil and it was fairly clunky.

It was also mentioned to set the diff tighter so it doesn't unlock so easy and clunk around, this too apparently makes it a tad more bearable.

Bl4ck32's isn't too bad but still no doubt makes him damn nervous in a car park with police around. From the out side watching Shaun drive it up on to the dyno it almost looks like a locker the way the inside wheel spins slightly but with a bit of give.

yeah i was going to go the 1.5 option, but this one popped up and thaugh what the hey!

i have read about different diff oils that quieten the clunky shudder, and heard that the additon of a friction modifier reduces this.

but yeah, my car is not a daily driver as such so i think i could with stand it!

nah, i have the old one out and the new ready to go in, was planning on putting in tonight.

BUT hows this for my day!

i had to go do a patch up job today, so the sillouete was pulling my trusty 6x4 loaded with 30 odd bricks, hopupps barra, 1/4 tonne sand cement and lime ect.....

AND MY DIFF BLEW GOING DOWN MARION ROAD!!!! it started as a slipping shudder under power/load

it slowley got worse tearing the teath off as i drove. gradually limped up flagtaff Rd. [trying to grab that 1 tooth left] and.. home!!!!

now i have to put a new diff in that TODAY as its my Daily!

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
