The 1.5 way diff isn't really a 1.5 way, but anyway.

You wont need a 2 way for a hill climb, in fact you would be better off without it.

As for track work a 1.5 is better anyway.

Remember the Nismo diffs have adjustable presets.

Check the nismo website www.nismo.co.jp

so a 1.5 way will be better for my situation, and 2 way are good for dragging?

No a 2 way is not for dragging. Which is not to say you can't succesfully use one.

You need to understand what the 1 way, 2 way means. Best off doing a search, but roughly they work as follows.

Basically they are mechanical limited slip differential where the engine torque helps clamp the friction plates in the diff. A one way only does so under acceleration. A two way acts under acceleration but also on the over run. Hence it is useless for drag racing. A one & a half way is supposedly in between but in reality the ramp angles on the over run on the Nismo diff are square so it is a bit of marketing bullshit.

Remember that the pre-load gives you an LSD function without any engine torque. The more aggressive of the Nismo LSDs are a nasty thing on the road. You cannot gently turn a corner with any engine torque without the diff locking/clunking. Look to the pro lsd tt version if you use the thing on the road.

got it so 2 way would give you to much understeer in tight corners and would like to push, and the tt version for the nismo isnt avaliable at nengun whats the differance between that and just pro

The two way will lock when you have torque transmitted via the engine on the over run, ie when the motor is slowing the car down. This commonly occurs on corner entry and yes it makes the back end reluctant to turn = push understeer.

the tt version for the nismo isnt avaliable at nengun whats the differance between that and just pro

Check the Nismo site as the TT version for the GT-R's is only a new addition. Rather than just believe the website send them (Or another of the importers...) an email to check. They should be readilly available in Australia.

The difference in the two versions is basically the ramp angle. TT Pro is more gentle and is better if you want to use it on the road. Don't use a 2 way on the street.

so with a 2 way you really need to heel toe on gearing down....

and a 1 / 1.5 way you dont....

cool i get it :D

might be going a nismo gt lsd pro 1.5 then as my stocker is spinning the right too much :P

Heal & toe. Sort of. It will stop the diff locking on clutch release, but probably not as the engine drops revs by itself.

Nismo do upgrade kits for the stock diffs as well as the stuff listed so far. There is another thread not dissimilar to this one which is worth looking through.

i thought these were the upgrade kits.... ?

car is for a daily... occasional drift, drag and circuit (track, so reasonably well abused)

would a nismo gt lsd tt pro 1.5 be the best bet?

i can get for around $1300 landed

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
