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.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
