I have a new 2 way and it is not noisy at all. you can feel the clunks when driving up carpark ramps and when doing fast 90deg turns but apart from it makes no noise,

the car however feels completely different to drive. I would not recommend having one on the road if unskilled driver is to use the car. exiting a corner and accelerating even at the apex will induce drift and a lot of it.

the Kaaz 2 way are noisy i have heard quite a few people say. the diff i just fitted is a nismo sss I used penrite 80/140 oil with limslip addetive. the oil you use will make a big difference to the noise.

I couldn't be happer with my new diff but they are almost $500 more than the Kaaz

i have a 2 way from a Tommy Kaira R33 in my car, same thing as you with the noise - driveways when one wheel pops up and sometimes on u turns ..

been thinking of getting some nolethane or urethane Diff mounts but havent seen any anywhere.

the slight push understeer gets you the first time it appears, but after you modify the driving style they are really great and predictable diffs.

A 1.5 way or even a 1 way would have the EXACT same characteristics as what your describing here. All aftermarket LSD's behave this way, the only difference between a 2 way and a 1.5 way is their locking effect on decel. otherwise they both are going to spin the wheels on a corner exit.

a 2 way can be awesome for grip driving also.. the driver needs to know what they are doing and the car needs to not have that silly "drift set up" with massively stiff spring rates and so forth.

I have a 2 way and i love it, even for Daily driving, its predictable, quiet, and only slightly annoying when parking. otherwise its awesome for drift, awesome for circut and grip etc./

I have a 2way mechanical diff in my car & i'll say its pretty clunky on second gear tight turns,parking, manouvering in tight places etc. But they are awesome for drifting etc, every day driving whatever i dont have a problem with it & would never change it..

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
