I currently have a 2way nismo lsd that is shagged and open wheeling 90% of the time, now I've had a standard lsd centre thats shimmed up tight put in there. Now its shimmed so tight its a locker and its annoying me, understeer or oversteer when you push into corners, no neutral ground. It's good because It always spins up 2 instead of single legging but in car parks its clunks and chirps and is annoying.

Now the 2 way is shagged and needs a rebuild so is this going to have similar traits to the locker if rebuilt? eg chirping in carparks and being a pig to drive? I don't mind a little understeer in corners as long as it will power oversteer and not single leg in straight lines.

Basically the question is for a car that is 90% street 10% track am I better rebuilding the 2way or getting a standard lsd and shimming it up so its not quite locked? The car has ~150kw and being the average HR31 IRS it tends to still have trouble putting the power down even with 9.5s so a loose LSD is just annoying.

The clunking is my bushes and everything else straining when it tries to spin the inside wheel in low speed manuvers.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
