Yeah kgf = kilograms of force.

1 kgf = 10Newtons.

It is the plate pre-load.

I set my Nismo diff to the middle setting & there are more clunks than a clunk convention - although clunkage is dependent on the clutch plate size, number and to a lesser degree the diff ramp angle.

lol, the ol sneaky edit while I was posting trick! not sure if they are right but they should be if you found it in one of my other posts. the difference i believe is the preload.

haha sorry mate. I found the pt# for the R200 in the Nismo online catalogue. I don't want the thing clunking around sharp corners as it's still used on the street more than the track, so i'll go for the 8kgf version.

Cheers Guys

Hey guys, just an update on my Nismo GT Pro 1.5way...

been in the car a few weeks now and I just changed the oil over to Redline 80-140W Gear oil... has reaaaally smoothed the diff up. Before it used to really clunk and bang and feel like the arse end of the car was going to fall out.. I was going to start dosing the diff with separate friction modifier just to see but instead changed the oil out altogether. Unfortunately I can't say what was in there to begin with - the guy who fitted and setup my diff did not use the Nismo oil it came with and put in 'what he recommended'. But the point is that the choice of oil can and does affect how 'streetable' the diff is. Mine now still skips the outside tyre on the pavement on tight turns, but without all the other crash/bang/fkin-thump from the back.. I reckon if I put a little friction modifier in there now, I could further smooth it up - but as mine is more for track than street - I'm happy where it is. Just enough to show me its still locking, and smooth enough not to piss me off on the street.

So just a heads up. If you do get a harsh diff - try oil or friction modifier to smooth it up a bit - it does help.

What do you guys think about the Carbonetic/ATS (same company) Carbon LSD? They are really popular with the 350z(Fairlady Z) and now starting to catch on with the Supras and Silvias. Anyone test one on any year GTR?

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
