Purchasing a 1.5 way mech diff soon, and wanting advice on which one to get?

i have an agressive 2way mech lsd (unsure of the brand) which is sweet but it is tired and has slack!

Not to mention extremely noisy and rattles my car to pieces, which i can handle but a lil less would be nice...

I've been looking at cusco diffs, maybe the rs as they say it is a good street diff, with less initial torque.. good anyone?

what about the rest:

cusco mz

nismo

kazz

ATS carbon LSD

thanks guys

Hi,

i would go for a nismo lsd;

here is some information of 2 types of LSD nismo have

Nismo GT LSD Pro - TT-model

Nismo's suggested users:

1. Circuit tuners

-Tuned cars with reinforced rear areas

-Tuning shops handling time trial cars

2. Street users:

-Those who want an LSD that is moderately effective on both winding roads and on the circuit

-Those who want to use an LSD in street driving but dislike the chattering

45 degree Cam Angle:

Based on the GT LSD PRO, The GT LSD PRO TT model was designed to meet the needs of tuning shops dealing with circuit time trials. Its main feature is a 45degee drive0side cam angle, compared to the 55degree angle used in the rest of the GT LSD series. This provides more mild locking characteristics, reducing the resistance of tire drag (too much effect of the LSD) in circuit running. It is for tuners who are dealing with tire drag resistance resulting from reinforcing the rear suspension member, differential mounting bushing and rear body. The 45degree cam angle most completely eliminates the chattering characteristic of LSD's reducing unexpected motion changes and increasing stability, allowing it to be used enjoyable on the street. Other basic functions are the same as the GT LSD PRO

or you can try

NISMO LSD PRO

which has "Variable initial torque internal pressure function" - which allows for the setting of three initial torque values without the disassembly of the LSD itself, This allows for easy change of initial torque in response to changing driving style, tires, suspension, tuning or running conditions. And as initial torque decreases as parts age, changing the initial torque - LOW two times, MIDDLE once - overhaul costs can be saved

LOW 6.5kgf

MIDDLE 8.5kgf

HIGH 14.0kgf

High Level of control

The GT LSD is not simply an LSD that provides more effective strength. It also reduces drive loss from occurring when attacking in circuit racing, and provides the solid traction need for improved cornering speed. These characteristics also provide improved angle control in drifting

Cheers Michael

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
