Hey,

Just after some opinions on fellow members who race/track there skylines. Its time for a new lsd and i'm not really sure which one to pick 1.5 or 2way. The car is use for track work, atm i currently active in drifting but would like to move onto grip events later down the track.

Please excuse my lack of understanding,,, but can someone explain the differences in 1,,,1.5 and a 2 way Nismo diff.

I bought a Nismo diff a long long time ago and can't remember which it was. It's now fitted (what a pain on a garage floor) just needs oil and an exhaust gasket.

Our old single spinner was a 4.11 (37:9) and the newey is 4.08 (49:12).

Neil.

Here you go old mate, i stole the info from wiki as i have been drinking some what. :)

BTW where you been hiding?

Broadly speaking, there are three input torque states: load, no load, and over run. During load conditions, as previously stated, the coupling is proportional to the input torque. With no load, the coupling is reduced to the static coupling. The behaviour on over run (particularly sudden throttle release) determines whether the LSD is 1 way, 1.5 way, or 2 way.

If there is no additional coupling on over run, the LSD is 1 way. This is a safer LSD: as soon as the driver lifts the throttle, the LSD unlocks and behaves somewhat like a conventional open differential. This is also the best for FWD cars, as it allows the car to turn in on throttle release, instead of ploughing forward.

If the LSD increases coupling in the same way regardless of whether the input torque is forward or reverse, it is a 2 way differential. Some drifters prefer this type as the LSD behaves the same regardless of their erratic throttle input, and lets them keep the wheels spinning all the way through a corner. An inexperienced driver can easily spin the car when using a 2 way LSD if they lift the throttle suddenly, expecting the car to settle like a conventional open differential.

If the LSD behaves somewhere in between these two extremes, it is a 1.5 way differential, which is a compromise between sportiness and safety.

Physical differences

The spider gears mount on the pinion cross shaft which rests in angled cutouts forming cammed ramps. The cammed ramps are not necessarily symmetrical. If the ramps are symmetrical, the LSD is 2 way. If they are saw toothed (i.e. one side of the ramp is vertical), the LSD is 1 way. If both sides are sloped, but are asymmetric, the LSD is 1.5 way.

As the input torque of the driveshaft tries to turn the differential center, internal pressure rings (adjoining the clutch stack) are forced sideways by the pinion cross shaft trying to climb the ramp, which compresses the clutch stack. The more the clutch stack is compressed, the more coupled the wheels are. The mating of the vertical ramp (80°-85° in practice to avoid chipping) surfaces in a 1 way LSD on over run produces no cam effect and no corresponding clutch stack compression.

Hope that helped.

Bloody hell thats confusing...

Ryan,,,what if I told you I spotted no clutch pack,,,wiki may get very confused.

BTW where you been hiding?,,,Hiding,,,I wish,,,Club Pres is a very behind the scenes and up front job,,,after SnS I'm stuffed.

See you at Texi tiger.

Neil.

Neil from my limited understanding

1way only works during acceleration, where a 2 way works under both acceleration and braking (which i say work i mean lock)

1.5way is inbetween it locks under acceleration and braking however it is not has aggressive as the 2way (jack of all trades)

2way are the weapon of choice for drifters.

I'm still tossing up between he 1.5 or 2way and the GT LSD PRO or PRO TT (both nismo diffs)

That is a great explanation!

What about a torsion diff. like that offered by Quaife for FWD cars and front diffs. for 4WD cars? Is there a significant advantage of a torsion diff. over a 1.0 way for the front differential on a GTR?

I had a Cusco 2 way in my street/track car and it was fine... you have to be a real muppet to spin the car on deceleration... you really should be braking in a straight line anyway but its not going to kill you if you carry a little brake into the corner... they are not quite as scary as people would have you believe but do take a little getting used to

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
