Thanks for that.

What was wrong with the old ones anyway?

the outer gear material was far too soft and would wear rather quickly.

the Trust and OS giken ones are the pick of them if i was to be asked which i prefer.

Hey mate i did some research into this a little while ago and from what I gathered some of the cheap ones are not so good (ebay) but in saying that what someones conclusion was the bolts are cheap and freeze and if you change them over to some high tensile one they should be fine. Also stated that some of the timiming marks were out???

Anyway I have come to the conclusion that I will just get some JJR ones as they are 250 for the pair and have had heard no bad comments about them.

If anyone has anything to say please put it out there, would be interested as I am doing min in teh next couple of weeks.

Cheers

which ones did Nismoid refer to, he said $150 for a set.

stock ones that are modified to be adjustable.

Its not hard for a fabricator with half an idea.

You just dont get the 'bling' of flashy ones, but then if your running a gear cover you'd never know anyhow

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
