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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
