XKLABA Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hey Nesh, to have a chat with Terry at Award about rebuilding your standard diff tighter, that's the easiest and most likely cheapest way for pretty much the same result I don't know about the rear diff but the quaife front diff is a gear résistance limo and doesn't 100% full lock which is what makes it so good for the front where you want the back it to full lock on acceleration 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441222-quaife-rear-diff/#findComment-7243152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If you talk about "lock" in the same breath as mentioning "Quaife" or "helical" or "Torsen"......then you're missing the point.

R.3.2.G.T.R Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 bought front quaife diff, was chatting with owner of jjr, he swapped from nismo 1.5 to quaife rear, said difference was chalk n cheese, few other 32 gtr including donut king r35 has it in the rear, no chatter unlike nismo, maintenance free, lifetime warranty etc has me leaning towards the quaife rear Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441222-quaife-rear-diff/#findComment-7243227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggaz Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 bought front quaife diff, was chatting with owner of jjr, he swapped from nismo 1.5 to quaife rear, said difference was chalk n cheese, few other 32 gtr including donut king r35 has it in the rear, no chatter unlike nismo, maintenance free, lifetime warranty etc has me leaning towards the quaife rear When doing my rear I was tossing up between the quaife and the Nismo GT pro. I went the Nismo because the Quaife in the rear was just released and there was no feedback around, despite how good it was up the front.The Nismo, on medium is way too much, I need to back it off and to get back that front drive that the quaife gave prob need to throw some extra friction plates into the transfer case. The Nismo (Atleast on medium) is one agro mofo. How the quaife would go as a rear, it won't be a bad thing, may be super special but there isn't many people running one as they are so new.

Michael, you have both cars, you notice any difference hopping from one car to the other the other thing to suss out is if quaife requires half shafts like the nismo or other mods Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441222-quaife-rear-diff/#findComment-7244073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKLABA Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Michael, you have both cars, you notice any difference hopping from one car to the other the other thing to suss out is if quaife requires half shafts like the nismo or other mods Yeah, their two completely different cars to drive on the edge is stock form, as far as drive line is concerned that is, the 34 doesn't always spin both back tyres in the middle of a turn unless pushed very hard making it a bit unpredictable and then by the time you've got them spinning the front has kicked in already pulling you straight, the 32 is the oppersite, in a straight line the 34 has sooo much more initial grip, but most of that is the transfer case being preloaded in the 34 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WpQETVmmS7w At 1.15mins is an example of me pushing hard enough then 5secs later me pushing a bit to hard I haven't punted it yet with the quaife in the front fitted I have a spare R32 diff and new R34 gearing which I'm going to but in the rebuilt 32 diff and then jam it in the 34 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441222-quaife-rear-diff/#findComment-7244141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrAA Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 pretty much in the same situation as OP..option 1: rebuilt kit for r200 (250$ + was told about 400$ to rebuilt/retight the diff) should be tighter but not overly tight as a Nismo GT. no worries about bolt-onoption 2: buy a quaife because maintenance free, less chatter, drive smoothly but would still like to know if it's bolt-on affair.option3: Go for a carbon diff ( most likely used, seen some from 600-1000), heard they were smoother, less maintenance and drive smoother than regular metal lsd.

Ants Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well I have just purchased a quaife rear LSD. Pretty certain it will need modification 'as early R32 cars will require the stronger later driveshaft flanges to use this' whatever that means.

Pretty certain it will need modification 'as early R32 cars will require the stronger later driveshaft flanges to use this' whatever that means. correct, emailed Tim @ SVS and he confirmed using later model half shafts which are stronger as it has larger internal spine size, not a problem if your car is already late model 32 or 33/34 and non v-spec, straight bolt-on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441222-quaife-rear-diff/#findComment-7245745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow build man, you will find out before me fortunately for you... I think we got the last ones before the price rise too! Lol I know that feeling having performance parts under the desk. Yeah, that is BS re: price rise. I really don't want to fork out almost $2K just for a diff when they are being sold for almost half that price in the states. http://www.frsport.com/Quaife-QDF3L-ATB-Differential-Nissan-Skyline-GTR-R33-R34-front_p_29114.html Just waiting upon some more diff bushes and new diff bearings and then will get it installed.
