Aftermarket LSD question

[Clint32]

the shimming dosent work well in a viscus diff ive been told by some diff exprts who build them for race cars.

Chris they s13 diff will bolt in 100% some of them use the skyline 5 bolt driveshafts as well, the only think i need to check is the bolts for the hicas rack as not many s13 have the hicas and the rear of the diff may be different

The Unique diff upgrade is still the std viscous diff so can only assume its been re-shimmed?!?!

R31Nismoid do you mind doing me a favour and PM'ing me the price and time to re-shim the std diff, i want to give the car a run down the qtr and a functioning diff would be nice.

Clint,

When saying race cars, the shimming of the std diff's essentially turn it in to a 2way which isn't really the best for race? Is this possibly what they were talking about?

[Duncan]

Roy, you really want a 1 way mechanical diff. You'll be amazed at the difference on the track. Best mod I ever did

[Roy]

Just got to find one at the right price, $1000 for a "i think its a..." is the best i can do. Another guy with a Nismo 1.5 for $500 stopped returning my email when i wanted to pick it up...and freight costs for a new diff from Japan make it too expensive, plus where i dont need to im trying not to lean on friends that have been helping me out with favours & parts so a re-shim is looking good. Patience is a virtue im told.

Clint, so your sure a S13 diff will bolt in no probs? Reason I ask, I can get a Nismo 2 way of a S13, with 5 bolt half shafts for a reasonable price. If you can confirm, I will most likely go down this route

P.S - haven't forgot about the carton I owe you, you gonna be home tomorrow night after about 7?

Cheers, Chris

[Clint32]

chris im 99% sure they go in no probs, to only diff is they dont have the hicas mounts now you should be able to swap the rear cover plate with your std diff and all will be sweet, but without looking at them side by side i dont wont to give a deffinate answer

[Chris32]

Ok mate, cheers.

Will give you a call tonight, I am free and can drop of the carton for you

Regards, Chris

Chris32,

Don't know if this of any interest to you but in the near future I'll be removing my LSD and swaping it back to a stocker since I'm not doing any more track days and it's not really what I want for street use. ( Yes I'm getting old ).

I pulled the back cover off to check the condition of the diff in general and to determine what brand it was when I got it ( it was sold to me ex Japan as a Cusco 1.5 way ? ) and it turned out to be an ATS ( Active Traction Systems, Japan ) 1.5 way which was an extremely cool finding considering the ATS centre kit alone goes for around $1,800. plus shipping and fitting.

Anyway, I'll be looking to get my money back in the sale which is $1,000

It's in my R32 GTS-T at the moment but keep your eyes on the parts for sale page.

Sorry if this is what's considered hijacking a thread ( I really don't understand all these terms )
