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.

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

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
