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!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
