Long story short, I got this RB26 EFR 83/74 build going on, but due to too many '' bad luck'', I kinda lost interest in my R32 GTR after owning it for 7 year.

With that said thought, I bought a brand new Nismo front LSD 1.5way ( they only have one) and a Nismo GT PRO for the read ( adjustable so i can set it at the lowest value for street use.

However, I'M thinking about selling the car a few month later ( things might chance.. i could deeply felt in love with the new setup and decide i want to keep it, but i believe i passed the point of coming back to liking it).

Given these facts, would you just use the stock diff setup or install only one diff or both ? As we all know, beeing new I have more chance to sell it at good price than if I install it and use it for a few month.. BUT !! if these new diffs could make my car drive better and pull better... then maybe this mod will make me like my car again lol..

Don't fit either, sell them both.

The rear diff is already a mechanical diff, and if you do want it tighter any diff shop can do it for a couple of hundred.

Changing the front diff is a disaster of a job unless the engine is out, and an LSD is only going to help at the front if you are having excessive wheelspin from 1 front wheel under power.

Spend the money from selling them on stuff you will notice like new shocks/springs or swaybars. Or beer and hookers.

Motor is already out and a RIPS pan is welded there so it's not a problem. Thanks for your input, I believe I will put both on sale, if they dont sell within the next 2 weeks, they will go on the car.

You'll be amazed at what that funny little bit of metal that comes in a blue box can do! 3WD GTR's suck.

The 8374 will be a good thing also!

When will it be back in the road?!!

It was suppose to be back 2 month ago.. couldn't find a RB26 Head over here... decided on buying a built motor with ported head.. the seller decided to bail out 3 weeks after we agreed on a price.. so i'm now back to square one.. I found a head, will be picking her up in 1 week and mechanic and machinist will put me in priority to finish the car ASAP.

If ever i find the 83 too powerful or too laggy, my plan is to go with a 76/70 1.05. since i'm already external. I want it to grip and be quick. Don't care about the dynoqueen braggin right.

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?

      Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)

      Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
