Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading the lsd on my r33 (as it no longer works) i've worked out which brand i will be buying (NISMO) but i'm not sure weather i should go for a 2way over the 1.5way.

The car is daily driven, and most of the track time i see is grip events but i dont mind a drift event here and there. Is there any major loss in going for a 2way compare to the 1.5way?

CHeers Michael

well a 1.5way is still a 2 way. just weaker on deccel (which is good unless you like backing it into to corners all the time). up to you. if you are hard core into drift then a 2 way is the go.

hmmm, what do you mean by backing it into a conrner?

will i have more chance of braking traction with a 2way into corners ?

1.5way for a street/track car <-- I use a Kaaz, and it's great!!

2way for drift only car

I have heard of too many accidents with 2way diffs on the street.

Under acceleration both are equal, but under deceleration the 2way will lock just the same as acceleration but the 1.5way requires more force to lock the second wheel. This 1.5way allows you to coast through round-abouts and turn corners easily without having to take it out of gear.

thanks for the reply Al,

i was abit worry about the 2way lsd as i've driven a 86 with a 2way kaaz and i found it extremely easy for the rear end to come out when turing but i wasnt too sure if it was just the lsd or the car setup

a 1.5 way is much better suited to track work (for ameture track work) because they dont lock up as easy under de-acceleration but remember you have a certain amount of clutch/shims you can put in the diff (the clutch packs for the lsd) to make it stronger/ weaker in its lock up . there wouldnt be alot of difference in them if people knew how to set them up properly :D (on a side note, did you know that v8 supercars use a full spool) , it comes down to your driving style/skill in the end for the decision

Under acceleration the 1.5way and 2way lock up at the same rate: Provided they are the same make and have been set-up the same, with the same amount of shims.

The difference is only under deceleration.

Do you drift exclusively? No, then get a 1.5 way. Yes, then get a 2 way.

If you get a 2 way and you track your car then you will be driving around the diff on corner entry as it will unsettle the car in anything but a straight line when braking/decellerating. Which means any corners where you have to brake in a curve, arse end tries to come around so you are backing it into corners as Beer Baron has already stated. It's great if your car is an understeery pig as it gets the nose in, but otherwise just a pain.

For occasional drift the 1.5 way will do the job. It just means you need to initiate the slide a bit differently. Plenty of guys drift with 1.5 ways.

i hate the kaaz diffs, bear in mind if you buy a decent diff many are 1.5way and 2-way switchable. CUSCO for example do this and NISMO also has the ability to do this and to tune the torque preload WITHOUT removing the diff. i hate the whole kaaz feel and design.... just in case you missed i the first time :rofl:

I totally agree that the Nismo diff is better. But i got my diff from an Australian supplier at a very reasonable price (fair bit cheaper than Nismo) and it does the job VERY nicely.

Agreed. Got mine for $800 new and its good enough for my thrashing around...

I havnt driven it cos I ripped my achillies and on crutches for ANOTHER 4 weeks... no deca driving for me, will come down though Al with Alan.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
