would it be better to re pack the clutch packs or buy an aftermarket 2 way like a kaaz?

i got quoted (roughly) $300ish for the clutch packs and $250 for install as they wont let customers install it themselves

intended use is for drifting, so im curious if this re packing is able to hold up to the abuse or will it start to open wheel after a while

coz if thats the case a kaaz is cheap enough these days to buy brand new

I know someone who tried a stock R32 GTR diff in a drift car and it open wheeled at the worst times. They don't have a very agressive ramp angle which means it doesn't lock that much under acceleration. I've always wondered how a stock GTR diff would go if U ground the angled bit that the pin pushes against to a more aggresive 'wedge'. I dunno wat either are called lol.

ive driven on shimmed vicous r200s before...they were terrible and singe spin half way through the day!

Clearly it wasn't done right :D

Racepace re-shimmed & plated my diff, almost to Nismo spec (slightly different i was told)... was what 6 years ago now.

I've done maybe 40 passes @ the drags on it, as well as a lot of serious curry in general use with the 255 RE001s i have.

After 10,000-15,000km's it's still exactly as tight same as it was the day i picked it up, turns both wheels without fail every time :D

R31Nismoid: hey mate... do you think they are as strong/effective/etc as a proper 2 way though?

the repacks i drove were following instructions off this site

this wasnt repacked like nismo plates but the 2 outer shims making it virtually a locker

now gtr repacking/reshimming maybe different and thus making it more effective than doing it to the other r200s

Well a HR31 long nose is a 2-way mech locker, just really weak.

So from my experience with the HR31 R200, yes they are just as good.

R31Nismoid: ah i see... the r32 diffs are mechanical lsds also from my understanding (correct me if im wrong) so repacking the shims may work

the experiences i have had with reshims came from viscous lsds so there would be a difference i think

but good to know it may be effective to repack the shims!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
