Can someone with a Quaife front diff give me an idea of what the difference in driving between the factory open diff compared to this? And what are you using for a rear diff? What's a good match?

I'm running a Nismo 2way in the back at the moment, I'm not bothered with drag racing, only use the car for road and basic track work.

It's like two massive bear claws ripping you out of the corner. It really is night and day! It shows you how tame/soft/crap the standard open diff is.

I spoke to Terry at award diff and gearbox and he said the nismo gt pro for the rear over anything else.

i use the quaife in my rb26, absolutely love it. I have a carbonetic front lsd in my evo, and i LOVE the carbonetic clutches and rear diffs... but for a front diff, i really like this quaife

Would that include the new quaife rear?

Trying to find some feedback on it, but coming up with nothing so far...

Even the quaife rear. It's a tough one. The Nismo is a known unit and we know the quaife is awesome in the front but is it better than the Nismo in the rear? Someone has to bite the bullet :/

Bullet bitten, but will be a little while before I get it sorted.

I can't remember, do you have a Quaife in the front also?

Yes... If I win Lotto I would get one of their new sequentials in the middle! Lol, at around the $10-11k mark much better value than anything else.

Cheers guys, What are going for in Aussie? Just weighing up if its cheaper to buy there or in NZ. The Quaife supplier for NZ is in my city.....But if it's cheaper elsewhere..... :whistling:

when i got mine our dealer is in NZ, that is where I got mine from, from Palmside

I think Paul got his from the UK, maybe

Yeah, I think it's prob just as easy for me to get it from Palmside, They are only down the road from me.

I also see they have bought out a replacement to their Seq box for the Skyline GT-R's, And it has a Helical Centre diff built in? interesting......

I ended up with the Nismo GT Pro for a good price :)

Couldn't get the nismo tweaked motul oil without buying excessive amounts, whats a recommended alternative diff oil?

Regular Motul diff oil do the job well?

I've been advised to use the OS GIKEN oil, 80W -250. I'm currently using that in the front too.

What do you mean excessive amounts? - You can get 1 litre bottles:

I used the Castrol to good effect.

Add some Penrite friction modifier if you get too much chatter

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
