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...

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
