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

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
