I've been pondering for some time now over a used Nismo 1.5 way unit and it's not cheap.

Also come across two people today that have broken them.

They aren't entirely billet steel construction like Cusco or Kaaz according to Advan.

Additionally they cost $600 or so more.

As everyone says the Nismo is the least clunky/noisy but what are it's limits ?

My scenario :

337 rwkw, say 4 tracks days per year, street driven once per week.

What do you reckon ?

I wanted a Nismo too but ended up buying a Tomei Trax at a very good price.

Bedding in a diff properly and using proper oil makes all the difference. I would suggest finding cars with different diffs try to get in and have a feel for them.

What is the right way to bedding in a diff? didn't even realise you needed to do anything like that

I think you have to find yourself and empty carpark or warehouse and drive figure of 8's slowly for about 20 minutes.

Then change the oil straight away.

1st thing you do, before you drive anywhere if possible

1st gear figure 8's for 20 min, remembering to clutch in before the car turns, and clutch out after the car is straight again

i have had a gt lsd pro tt 1.5 for a year in my daily, it has seen hills, track, drift and 7 day use with 300rwkw, still perfect :)

i just change the diff oil with the engine oil every 5k

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
