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.

    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
