Snowman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 No diffusers so non v spec hey. At least you won't have to worry about that issue I was telling you about. Also - not sure what your diff plans are right now but I ditched my V Spec diffs for a standard non v spec (but tightened) mechanical one and I can't fault it at all. Its definitely better than the V Spec one was.

Beer Baron Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 if it's a non-vspec diff you should be able to buy the clutch pack upgrade from nismo/nissan for the rear. they are quite good with that upgrade. other than that I have no idea how to choose between them really. cusco/tomei/nismo/ATS/kaaz/OS Giken they all make GTR diffs and all have their fans. for this car considering it's all out balls to the wall maybe look at a pair of carbon diffs.

Snowman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Russ - basically what Baron said. Standard Nissan diff with upgraded clutch packs. It's brilliant. That was kinda what my point was to tell you if you didn't already have diff plans to just get the one you have upgraded to start with.
