I had a modified R200 diff in my 32 gts and it would click as it was nearly at the point of locking. This usually happens when doing slow speed tight turns under very light throttle.

I put the stock R180 back in and apart from it not having much limo effect any more it also clicks but no where near as loudly.

These are normal sounds from any mechanical LSD that uses dry clutch plates instead of a viscous fluid to lock the centre under load. They are adjutable by simply putting more shims in the centre to tighten the clutches.

Just go the mini spool it's much better

Hey West,

The clicking noise is the inside wheel skipping forward in tight turns. The diff locks up forcing the inside wheel to move at the same speed as the outside wheel.

The internals of the diff are swapped into the stock diff housing so that the driveshafts, tailshaft etc aren;t affected.

Are you sure its the diff?

Can you descibe the noise almost like a small ball bearing being dropped into a heavy still tin?

Reason i ask is that im pretty sure my car has a std diff, and from the day i bought the car it makes this slight click noise when i take off from stationary. Had it checked out a few times and two mechanics havce said its fine. Mayve CV noise???

If it were the mech diff making the noise as a few have mentioned, wouldnt you feel the diff locking up with the chassis crabbing a little???

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
