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!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
