Given The Choice, Would You A Front Or Rear Nismo Lsd ?

[cobrAA]

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..

Keep your car and sell it to USA in a few years.

Sell the front diff to someone else now. Buy a Quaife front diff and fit that. Fit the GT Pro at the rear. Enjoy life.

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.

beer and hookers.

End Discussion.

Duncan is spot on.

A rb26 should not go back in it's hole without a real front diff IMO. One of the best mods I've done to date. Totally transforms the car coming out of corners.

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.

[Duncan]

oh...if the motor is out and you already have the front diff I'd change my vote....take Paul's advice and put that in as it is simple when the sump is out of the car

[cobrAA]

I shall do it. along with the EFR 83/74 turbo. hopefully it transform the car because if not, i will regret all these changes lol !!

[Piggaz]

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?!!

[cobrAA]

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.
