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.

      They will be (within normal range) and they won't be causing the misfiring.

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Chinese parts can be good, it's all in the quality assurance, and materials, but, that costs more, but, typically not alot more, it is up to the customer who is getting the parts made, some are happy to pay more for quality good QA and materials because the savings are in the cheap labour costs, so they can sell a quality product at a lower price point, other customers who are getting parts made give no farks and want their products to be as cheap as possible for maximum profit, so minimal QA and average materials  Hence why some Chinese parts are crap, whilst other are good Much like parts and other stuff made in different countries around the world, including "made in Australia", "made in Japan", "made in 'Merica" branded gear

      Agree with Bogan bloke above. I like running quality tyres on my street driven cars. Wife's daily as well as my daily have Michelin PS4, good tyre that does everything you'd expect without fuss and reasonably priced for popular sizes that aren't enormous. Skyline had Yokohama on it for many years but have recently fitted zestino tyres. Just did a quick Google and they're actually Chinese made (jap designed apparently). Surprisingly they grip really well, wet and dry and haven't died, YET. Obviously on the higher end of CCP tyres but still China nonetheless.
