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!

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!!!!

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
