Would this nismo clutch pack affect the lock up rate or is that controlled by something else?

Compared to a couple mates with nismo and ats diff I find the GTR mech center to require more throttle to have the diff lock; which makes it perfect for limping around in carparks etc. Give it just that little bit more throttle and its locked up and chirping the inside wheel.

With the aftermaret diff on low speed corners it feels like you just slightly touch the throttle and the inside wheel instantly starts chirping and shuddering the car. Makes it impossible without clutching it and rolling to avoid inside wheel chirp when mr police men are around.

My Nismo 1 way would lock up at the second you touched the throttle. Very clunky and somewhat annoying although you do tend to tune out after a while and it generally doesn't bother you. I actually like it when clunking around carparks when people look at you and think, WTF! I also 'accidentally' drop the clutch at low revs to get tiny little chirpies and extra clunks from the diff. It makes me laugh.

Then again, I've got an electric ratchet socket thingie and that makes me laugh too.

I now have a GTR diff in my car and it behaves quietly just like an ordinary car. Your grandma could drive it, although she might have trouble with the clutch.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
