If you want the car to still drive nice for daily driving keep the LSD. I have a 2 way in my skyline and its pretty annoying for normal street driving.

how much? i need one for the ceffy.

any performance mechanic should be able to do it, pitlane did my mates and it was $200ish for it to be done, the shims themselfs are around 10bux each and you can get different sizes to make it tighter

Looks like it could be worth paying the 200 bucks.

if you have a decent budget for tyres..spool?

much cheaper, and virtually unbreakable..

I was going to say around the $200 mark and you supply the oil. Anything with HICAS though will be more as they are a bitch to get out, or you can just bring me the diff itself and it'll be $200.

EDIT!! Chad you'd want yours pretty much locked wouldn't you?

yeah its only for track use.

[D_Stirls]

well let me know if you want me to do it.

[DSTROY]

all depends if i could be stuffed getting the thing out.

[SkyHi_33]

pitlane did mine with a full service and overhaul for $250

been tight as for over 10,000kms now, bit annoying when parking etc. at first but you get used to it.

yeah its for a 33 with hicas lock bar

not intending to take diff out myself rather drop off and pick up car lol easier.

wanting it pretty tight too wanting to track my car and "drive" it on the street

ill let you know mate. how much extra for you to take it out and do it?

[D_Stirls]

If Pitlane do it for $250 then i'll do it for that (once again you supply the oil you want to run). If you want to stay and watch then that's fine as well, then you can do it yourself next time.

i had the great idea of getting my diff shimmed till i found out that i had the Active LSD "A-LSD" in my 33 which is a weird thing......

so next best idea....get the inners off a Kazz 2-way and get boss automotive to put it in my diff casing with new clutches

should be good

[D_Stirls]

i would think that an active LSD would be quite saleable. If your going to go 2 way use another V-LSD casing and sell you A-LSD.

[Krishy]

umm interesting thought there Dale.....so you reackon get another diff casing....pref a V-LSD casing and then do the swapping on that....

can i still use my A-LSD casing for this swap though?

[Damo_R34]

you can, but Dale is saying that you wont spend as much if you sell your whole A-LSD, and fit the 2 way into a V-LSD housing.

[Krishy]

problem is Damo my A-LSD has started to open wheel.....so guessing the A-LSD is f**ked
