my right spins when im turning right (in a drift or something), im thinking my diff is ****ed :P

straight-line and full left and a bit to the right it locks up 2 wheels great but as soon as i start turning a bit more to the right during a burnout (on private roads) it open wheelers :( thats a ****ed diff right?

if diff is rooted, how much is a mech 2-way?

mine doesnt do that but did the weirdest thing the other day..

I was going up a small driveway on an angle (low front bar) so my back left wheel was on the driveway and my back right was still on the road.. i accelerated a bit.. and it wouldnt move.. like i was in neutral

never done it before.

I just reversed back a bit, back into drive and it was fine. Weird.

I don't get how the subzero TRY09s car can have the stock diff, while people keep screwing up theirs. Not trying to say you can't drive, but i just don't get it

Quite easily, the drive shafts have been strengthened and it only goes hard in a STRAIGHT line, most wear on diffs occurs when turning and drifting and especially when combining both by doing donuts...on private roads to be cool to ya mates... :thumbsup:

if its single wheeling when you turn i'd think your diff was pharked.

my old lsd (3 diffs ago) would LSD if i went left, but if i went right, it would single wheel - HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. I changed the diff oil, it helped a little, it lasted about 1.5 years until it completely gave up the ghost... at times it was a bit dangerous as it was completely unpredictable, it would lsd, single wheel, then lsd etc... hated it.

then i went to a minispool... that was cool i liked that, now i have a locker. They are real tyre f**kers tho, tires do not last long even when driving normally.

But yeah i think you should start searching for a new diff =)

Mechanical 2 ways are nice !! but $$$$ hehe. good luck with it.

My friend came back from Japan with a mech 2 way diff and sold it for $800 - $900... hehe cheap cheap. i see them go for around $1000-$1500 tho = I'll have to ask him if he can get another for a decent price.

thanks mate

sorry to dig up my older thread but, the reason that it died is because i dodged an accident a while back and hit a kurb with the back wheel (straight on so there was no damage to suspension or anything, but i ave had these problems since...

i baked a set of tyres on the weekend and i think it finally knocked my diff over... im getting weird noises and it open wheels left and right (its raining here at the moment its really dangerous :)) hehhe

a 2-way would be my dream... is it hard to put in yourself? i heard its about a 4 hour job...

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
