Defiantly worth the effort. Both wheels lock well under power. Can boost it rite up in tight corners and also both compression lock up under braking and the car remains straight. Feels much, much better then the 2-way LSD in the Passage. When it does let go in a power slide the control is incredible compared to before. A recomended mod for anyone.

Where are you located? Would you do the job for others as I don't have the appropriate tools and my car always one legs and pulls to one side. Obviously some moola will be given. Can post the internals so you don't have to take the entire diff.

Its a very time consuming process and time is something I don't have at the moment. Probably give me a month and PM me and it might be possible. Between this car and work there's nothing left. Sorry.:(

On another note I hit a realy tight corner yesterday going way too fast and got a chirp from the inside wheel so its defiantly working well.

saved our ass here in the UAE =) doing it now.

fitted em up, what a bitch to get the center back into the car lol. when i finaly got it in, the splines on the longer half shaft didnt line up in the final section. what a bitch, back out with the center it came, i did actualy line up the splines like you said, might i add for anyone else doing this. once you put ur shims in put both half shafts into the center completly in, then tighten the 2 philips heads, then leave the shafts in. put ur ring gear over the top and rattle that up with the half shafts still in the center. makes it alot easier and no room for error. the first time i was literaly .2mm off the splines being 100percent. and yet it wouldnt go in all together.... peace!

Any chance of getting the pics working again really want to give this a go. So say about 3mm would be good for drifting or should i go more like 3.4?

Pretty much depends how screwed your diff is, it'll basically either be almost completely locked or it'll skip around corners and open up under power (worst of both worlds), or it'll be the same.

So just go the biggest you can get in there if you want to lock it, if you want it to be like an LSD just get an LSD.

My local Nissan had them in stock.. did they say they were ex-east? or ex-japan?

3 weeks sounds about right from Japland, everything I've gotten that was ex-east gets sent in an overnight bag so I have it within a couple of days (case in point, ordered a brake booster 1-way valve on Saturday that was ex-east and it arrived yesterday).

just got around to putting mine in,both sides have a shim or 2 with 3 in total so i've got more then 3.6+ mm in there nearing 4 id say (will need to double check invoice to confirm).

so question is how long does it take to bed/ wear in as in getting some shuddering under hard cornering ?

Hello!

I have heard that you can´t shim up a GTST Diff for it´s a viscodiff and not a lsd diff, the shims may take all the power from the diff and the viscodifferential will break? That a shimmed diff will not work in the long run? Is this bullshit or true?

Many people seem very happy with their but boring if it would break!?

sorry for my bad English, I am Swedish pirate.gifaction-smiley-069.gif

    • 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.
