Lsd In 4wd Stagea?

[genkin]

I am keen to get a 2way Nismo LSD for my 4WD S1 when it arrives.

I have a few questions though,

I know how a good 2way acts in a light RWD car (My AE86), and I am quite a fan of the handling improvements it makes.

How much different will this be to a heavy 4WD car with Attesa?

Will the loss of rear end traction make the Attesa power up the front wheels?

This sounds a bit dangerous and unbalanced.

Can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Thanks

the autech version came out with LSD as standard ( if it was 1.5 way or 2 way LSD I dont know )

I presume that means the 260rs Autech version? ( still pretty new to this )

so If Nissan did it from factory then it must be ok .. only thing to find out is if its a 1.5 way or a 2 way LSD

Is it going to be an Auto your putting it in?

Yeah, it would be going into an auto. That brings up another question/concern...

Unwanted gearchanges during an opposite lock moment could cause the car to kick back.

Any comments on this?

yeah get a manual

get a 2 way

go drifting

on a side note though

you should be fine, if it wants to kick, the atessa will pull power and put it up front anwyays

I don't really want a manual. My AE86 is setup well for sliding.

I want a practical car that can allow me to have some 'fun' when the mood is right.

I'm not worried about the rear end kicking out, more about the front end gripping up as the attesa gives it power (pulling out of the slide aggresively)

[yokotas13]

understandable

i think it would help, but i think you really only need a 1.5 way since you really dont need it to lock up under decel.

it should improve your corner exit grip id think

[genkin]

good suggestion, a 1.5 would reduce the hinderance of the automatic gearbox

[yokotas13]

well normally a 2 way is good for drifitng becuase you want the wheels to lock up adn decel and accel, keeping the drift longer

1.5 is the preferred for grip around here.

The 260 diff is great. Check out the vid section for some 2wd fun.

the rs4s has a lsd - in fact it has the same gtr diff as the 260rs. see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...563&hl=rs4s

Drive it it is hard to tell what the impact is, as we haven't really got it ever sliding! Car behaves like it's on rails...

the RS4 does NOT have an LSD

ive done standing burnouts, and well as tried to drift it, and only one wheel spins no matter how hard i clutch kick it, how much i warm up the oil my making figure 8s, no go

soooo i bought a nismo 2 way

[Stinky Rooster]

well, considering you have a S1 RS4 NOT an RS4 S that really doesn't have much bearing here Grant. Ian is talking about the S2 RS4 S that, apart from being a factory manual, has a lot of extra gear the RS4 doesn't have, and the LSD is only a part of a long list.

Ian - is the factory lsd a 1 or 1.5? would be good to know if one ever popped up on the auctions.

i thought he meant RS4s as in plural

i thought he meant RS4s as in plural

nope, as the post above this states - I meant a RS4S (which is what I said)! Follow the link for details.

newbie101, not sure. What does the gtr one do as it probably is the same. (As said, I just haven't had my stagea sliding at all - it doesn't do it on wet roads, wet tram tracks, or even the odd dirt road). Mind you, I'm not trying to slide it in the first place...

C'mon Ian, ATTESA + rain = fun times in the right environment!

Would be great with the extra power of the Neo, too.

[beastien]

Obviously not trying hard enough

But I do not condone that sort of behaviour

[overpowered]

ive had abit of experience with the gtr lsd and in 2wd and 4wd (had around 550rwhp), 2wd = major major drift action and damn easy to control these long wheel base designs, i could fishtail up the road as far as i want and in any gear lol and 4wd is pretty damn good i never really tried any hard cornering with full power because i never got a chance, but 8000rpm launches and its smokin the 2 rears and 1 front wheel

oh god i miss the power of my baby, the gto is seriously lacking in the power department at the moment

Yeah try to keep these kinds of stories to the stagea yahoo group please guys, I'd hate to have to be forced to close another thread...................... sorry.
