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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
