a standard diff is useless for drifting (i beleive it only spins 1 wheel and its no where near as ez to control as a mechanical)

a 1.5 or 2 way lsd will keep u going hard all day long

brands like kaaz, cusco, nismo are all good

expect to pay around 1.5k for one (give or take a hundred or two depending on brand/shop)

or if your on a budget.... weld your diff together :D:D:D

Most drifters opt for a 2 way LSD, so the car's attitude is consistent during on-off throttle.

And viscous LSDs (which I assume the S13 turbos used, mechanical LSDs weren't really prevalent back then) don't lock up too well. That's what makes them relatively "streetable".

If you're on a budget you could try using a more viscous fluid so it will lock up faster. Viscous LSDs are inherently 2 way, so it might suit your drifting needs. There is an aftermarket for VLSD fluid, although its not a big one since most people who want to "tune" their LSD end up going to a mechanical.

Suggestionsfor Brisbane southside? What should I be expecting to pay roughly?

Accurate Suspension (Woodridge) are closed til the new year, I usually go there.

Also highly recommend Tyrezone Cleveland, they have latest alignment equipment and setup drift cars. They will look after you.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
