Front Cusco Lsd On Gtr ?

Hey guys,

I bought a 1.5way ATS metal rear diff. Now, I'm thinking should I buy a front diff lsd as well ? Car is mostly street-driven but expect to make about 30-50 launch a year and maybe 5 track event ( never went lapping yet, so I'm a newb)

I searched and couldn't find much information really. Not enought to make a concensus, at least. What I found from GTR.UK is the front lsd is somewhat a bad idea and difference should be very marginal and very bad if used on the street. ( but this is mostly regarding 1.5way).

Here, only few peoples have spoken and most said, they were good when matched with other drivetrains mods. other only said quaife was better but not why or anything else..

So please tell me, what if I buy a cusco LSD and set it to 1way instead of 1.5way. would I see a gain or really 90%of the difference is located at the rear wheels ( and it has already been taken care) ? and how would my street driving be affected ?

I live in downtown and can be stuck in traffic from times to times so I always try to make it as street friendly as possible.

Thanks a lot!

100% the quaife center.

There is no other choice for a GTR when I'm asked to fit one.

They aren't noisey and bang around

They transition nicely when power is applied

Drive is always consistent to the front axles

They just work and do everything in a nice way not a harsh slap happy way.

Quaife. Just do it and don't think about it.

You don't know it's there until you want it to be.

Exactly,

I to have the Quaife front LSD and I forget it's even there, brilliant for daily street driven GTRs that do occasional trackdays or drags

That's one thing I did notice with the few launches I have done with the quiafe in. It launches SO MUCH BETTER! Stupid standard diff crap!!!

Hi Paul - can you PM me as well please ... it's something I have been thinking about for a while

You won't be looking back... I sound like a broken record, but it's one of the best things I've done to the car.

Hey Paul

I am thinking of going this way on my R32GTR build. I recently purchased a quaiffe 6 speed dog box for the car(not fitted yet). I am thinking this Quaiffe front diff might be a nice compliment to the new engine and box I am adding. Do you have any other suggestions for the drive train?

Can you PM me the details of your dif supplier as well? Cheers.

Next time you are down Paul I'll have to take your car for a spin and see the difference between your Quaife and what my Nismo front LSD was like, as my Nismo was exactly the same as this one it settled in (about 500kms)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
