Hi all

Im upgrading my front and rear diffs with Nismo gt Lsd pros on r33 gtr v spec.

Now the front is straight forward with 1.5 way .

The rear im getting a non v spec housing and drive shafts and bearings......

My question is for mostley street driven car with a few dargs a year and maybe 1 or 2 track days a year would I go 2 way or 1.5 way?

Thanks in advance

If it was me

Front = Quaiffe Helical LSD.

Rear = Nismo GT Pro 1.5 way... new carbon model if the budget stretches that far.

Personally I think the 2 way is too aggressive for anything on the street, and I'm currently breaking in a nismo gt pro 1.5way which drives really nicely :)

thanks for that Infamous I thought about Quaife I heard good thing about nismo + diff shop recommend nismo(can be repaired easily if it needs to be) and wanted to stick to one brand I could not find a rear Quaife one for a good price ($1700 just jap).

so 1.5 way is the way to go thanks mate

I also have the same setup. The GT PRO is currently set to medium. I think it's a little too aggressive atm. I'll prob back it off soon enough. Where is your's set to?

The rear definately changes how the car turn's and powers out of corners... In a good way ;)

Piggaz, running the lowest setting for now... good so far!

A couple of clunks when it was cold, but once warm all good, just have to get used to it 'skipping' haha

I had a few other things done in the rear of the car to tighten it all up (bushes, new tailshaft etc), but it's definitely night & day how it comes out of corners now massive improvement for something I never considered as being 'bad'.

Did you do the diff bushes also? I chucked a set of alloy ones in there. Transmits a bit of noise through the cabin, but nothing really to whinge about. Definately improved the shift feel also!

OP. I would think a 2 way might be a bit TOO much.

Nismo diff bushes (reinforced rubber), redid the subframe with whiteline bushes also and the CF one-piece tailshaft.

Removed every bit of slop & random bang/clangs that the rear end had.

I get some noise coming into the cabin, but it's not bad... I kinda like it, like engine surround sound :D

+1 on shifts feeling better

1.5 way here as well. Mine was on the softest setting.

it was tight to start but after 1,200kms of driving and giving it a solid flogging it settled down (front settled much faster, around 400kms) and would only skip on mid level turns on concrete and in tight carpark turns. If you don't want any at all just add Penrite Friction modifier, that'll stop any chatter totally.

With a Nismo front/rear - get ready for some 4WD powersliding, just have to bet into a corner & tap brakes/lift off the throttle and turn, let it glide and then stomp the pedal to the floor and have some fun :thumbsup:

f you've modified the transfer case you'll pull even harder out of the corners again.

IMO after having done Transfer case then Front then Rear diffs... I'd do that again before chasing power in a GT-R, certainly made the car so much more enjoyable to take on hill runs

Only problem with doing all of that is not matter how i threw the car around I could no longer get the car to do 4WD helli's like it would with stock diffs front/rear. Just something odd i noticed.

What mods did you do to the transfer case?

More plates. Allows more front drive.

This. Although I believe maybe pressure as well?

More lockup, sends power forward better... Drive one with the mod and one without and you really notice a difference in minutes it's that obvious

Also they are on average 15years old and often overlooked in terms of servicing/replacing etc

May I ask you how you got it serviced ? I only know one kit to date and its on gtr.co,uk selling for about 1000$..

Also, part my english ( second language), what do you mean by 4wd helli's ?? previous post. With all the mods done on a proper -5's setup with Star spec Z2 tires, I still seems to spin a bit in acceleration so I'm interesting in doing the rear diff and maybe transfer case in order to gain more traction.

Oh and , Nismo seems to be making the best diff isnt it ? I was thinking about the GT as well. vs. the cusco

Edited by cobrAA

I'm also upgrading the front diff to a nismo 1.5 after getting the sump modified. Is it also necessary to upgrade the rear diff also? Ill only be wanting to make 350aw/kw. And if so should I get nismo for the rear or another brand?

Depends. Put the front in and see how it goes.

When I put my front in, my rear started single pegging. However, my car is a vspec, so maybe the attesa computers had a hissy fit.

^ kinda like that, but with stock diffs i could get it going around and around as if i was on a 50c coin. Post diffs, it would only get to about 3/4 around and stop... Was kinda gay in that respect.

Put it this way - I could launch @ 8200rpm with 350rwkw or whatever and there would be minimal wheelspin with 285/18 AD08s, it would just grip and fly outta the hole.

There was no wheelspin 2nd/3rd at all.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
