Hey ACT Guys and Gals,

Any of you running a 1.5 way rear mechanical in their Skyline?

What brand did you get? Are you able to cope with the low speed turning noises?

The LSD in my 33 is very weak compared to my last mechanical in the Subaru, but I've never been in a car with a 1.5 way or 2 way to feel the low speed clunks and sounds...

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers

Sam

i recently bought a Kaaz 1.5 way LSD diff for my series 1 R33. i've done around 2000km's on it and after the initial run period and all the oil changes, i would recommend them to anyone who is looking for something like this. will be great around a track and i cant till i test it out. run a search in the Drive Train sections of SAU and you'll come up with other info and "reviews" etc...

however, i've just noticed that you drive a series 2 R33? if this is true than i believe you cant change your diff center for a mechanical LSD as yours is an active diff from the factory, where the series 1's arent. i dont the know the differences between the 2, but im certain that all you can do is have the original rebuilt, or find some other kind of active replacement....

someone correct me if im wrong, but when researching my diff i came across this information....

Cheers for the reply Frink,

Mine is a Series 2 correct, but i don't have an Active LSD, no. They were a rare option for some off the factory, mine doesn't even have ABS brakes...

I did a long search and read of the Drivetrain section, thus why I asked the question here about the clunking etc because I would like to know if someone in ACT is able to take me for a slow turn test drive before I purchase the KAAZ 1.5 way.

Others have complained about the KAAZ and said that the NISMO ones are better... But when KAAZ is so readily available and at a reasonable price, i'm keen for one... I hit the skidpan frequently and will be talking to some people soon in regards to the hillclimb so it will be needed shortly.

yeah, i almost bought a nismo one, but the price of the Kaaz you just cant go past. as for the clunking, you get used to it. when i first put it in, the noise was so bad that i pulled it out and took it to a diff shop and asked if it was alright. they said that it was fine and that it would get better as time went on. now its pretty good. sure its a little noisey when its cold, but once its warm its actually pretty good. but your gonna get that mechanical slipping noise with any mechanical LSD you buy....

i'd be happy to take you for a ride one friday night soon, but not this friday, as im playing with the car...

R32 - R33 Gtst 1.5way lockers wont feel very different at all if they're the same brand... Only an extremely experienced racer like Tsuchiya or Inada would be able to tell if they were driving an R32 or 33 locker diff just by feel.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
