Hi Guys,

Just would like you to share a quick story with you.

A few weeks ago my car was parked outside my work when someone from an adjacent building put the tray of their Holden ute through the A pillar and windscreen of my R33 GTST.

My car was towed to the assessment centre then panel beater to repaired.

Due to the lack of initiative from the panel beater, they could not find a replacement part to use in my car.

Apparently it was only possible to get this item from Japan and it would take up to 6 weeks before they even placed the order.

I was given an estimated 3 month wait before my car would be back on the road.

Filled with rage I called Dan for some help ( who has been the only mechanic that has worked on my car since my ownership.)

Within 15 minutes Dan had sourced and priced the part from 4 different places in Melbourne.

Dan then proceeded to call the panel beater and helped arrange the item to be shipped up to Brisbane.

9 days later my car was back on the road. This is one of the many examples of how Dan continuously exceeded expectations and has gone above and beyond customer service.

Without Dan's help my car would still be sitting at the panel beater waiting for them to order the part.

A huge thanks to ERD, Dan i look forward to seeing you soon.

When i see him in the next few weeks to install my coilovers he is getting a bottle of his favourite whiskey.

ERD is located in Alexandra Hills - www.erd.com.au

Cool

i got there website through google too, but note that the contact us page does not give an actual address and only gives a feedback form.

i just want to calculate the distance and will go there to do servicing as well, if not too far

Its worth the drive. Use the contact form if you have any questions and he'll get back to you within a day or 2.

He doesn't advertise a street address (it's also his house) but if you pick anywhere in Alexandra Hills it should give you a rough indication of distance.

Thanks Rob. I just like to make sure people get looked after.

You don't need to get me anytyhing, or if you do, at least sit down and share it with me

Correction Gervase: Scotch is Whiskey. Glenfiddich is not Scotch :P Caol Ila, Glenmorangie, Talisker and Arberlour are Scotches, Glenfiddich is what you drink once you have the better taste of something else before it.

With that sort of taste in mind, I guess a 6 pack of pre-mix jonnie walker cans is out of the question... :P

I'm not so sure... it's good to see the look on his face when he's offered a pre-mix. (or a bourbon) :D

+1 for the comments above. very helpful and service above and beyond

Actually, Glenfiddich is Scotch/Whisky. - Scotch just means it was made & distilled in Scotland.

Scot's also spell Whisky without the 'e' rather than Whiskey like everyone else.

And ERD sounds cool, i might check it out next time :P I hear nothing but good reviews from everyone.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      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?

      Yuh, but that one is NLA. There might be an equivalent, but I haven't looked.

      I know and understand they are principally the same. They both cause lock under decel, but the 1.5 nomenclature implies "half" or less locking force, or it allows for more slip or a speed differential between both wheels. Right now the driving manners with the 2 way is pretty rough on transient to full off throttle in the backroads. In other words letting off the throttle too rough is not forgiving, great for drifting, tougher for controlled grip driving.      Yeah, I have watched that video a couple times, I am more so just looking for the confirmation that both part numbers offer the same ramp architecture and are just different settings from the factory.     38420-RSS15-B5  38420-RSS20-B5
