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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
