Ok looking to upgrade the diff in the gtst. Was considering shimming, but have almost pretty much decided to go agenst that idea. Why would i shim it when i have to pull the center out any way, why not put a mech center in while the other is out.

I have being looking threw the drive line thread but still havnt found an answer to my questions.

From what i understand a s13 R200 diff is fully compaterble with the R32 r200 diff, same for s14 but thier could be a diffrence between ABS equpied ones and non abs ones.

1 way or 1.5 way diff. The car is 90% street and i wont it to be a street car, with the ocational motakana/ drift work. I ask this as thier is a cusco 1 way rs lsd on ebay for $500ish http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JDM-Cusco-1way-type-RS-LSD-R200-Silvia-240sx-S13-S14-/180652991231?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a0fc1e2ff

other wise im looking at a 2nd hand nismo 1.5 way (and if i realy must will buy brand new and get the pro type)

how ever im trying to stay on a budget.

Any sugestions welcome.

1 ways are ok for street/track. A mates track silvia has one and i quite liked it when i used it for a day.

personally i'd be looking at the s/h nismo 1.5 though, seeing as thats what i have and really like how it works.

As simon said, the difference between a 1.5 and 2 way isn't that big of a deal. I've found a tight 1.5 way behaves pretty much exactly the same as a 2 way. Once they loosen up a bit or have friction modifier added to the oil it's a bit more noticeable.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
