Hey guys, got this diff today. I bought it as a 2 way 4.36 ratio. Seller wasn't sure of brand.

 

Ive done a bit of googleing and it looks similar to a kaaz, ats or possibly a tomei. There are no markings anywhere.

 

The ramp angle seems to be shallower on one side. Is it a 2 way with a weaker angle on 1 side or is it a 1.5?

 

Take a look at the pics and shoot if you have any ideas or info to identify. Cheers lads.IMG20180129135435.jpgIMG20180129135601.jpgIMG20180129135702.jpgIMG20180129135622.jpgIMG20180129151423.jpgIMG20180129151359.jpgIMG20180129151408.jpgIMG20180129151423.jpg

Looks like a Kaaz [emoji4]
Looks like mine too, here's an article I wrote a while back

Yep, already saw your article and agree it looks very similar. Looking at the pics of the cam position ive posted, does it look 2 way or 1.5 to you.

I thought 2 way first up but the more i stare at it, starts looking like 1.5. Am i trippin or what? Lol.

Btw, it doesn't feel like a kaaz, its pretty smooth and hardly chatters at all. I filled it with penrite mineral 85-140 and 30ml of limslip. Thats why i started thinking, maybe an ats super silent.

 

It does lock both wheels equally, my car has never launched this good and stayed straight while baking the rears.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
