Heya peeps, I am looking to put a QUAIFE lsd into the rear of my barge. 

It's a S2 AWD Auto and would like to know if the following model number is the correct unit? 

QUAIFE model QDF7L to suit an R200 29 spline. 

Eventually I would like to have an LSD in both ends of the car and to have both the same type, so that's why I wanna have a quaife instead of a clutch type at one end and helical the other that behave differently. 

Look forward to responses either for or against.

I have a Quaife front and rear in a GTR.

In my opinion they are excellent 👍

Don't suppose you remember the model numbers of them at all? And what model gtr?

Fitted to 32 GTR. Front is QDF3L and rear is QDF14L, which required 31 spline to replace the early GTR 30 spline. The QDF7L is indeed the rear 29 spline for rwd cars.

 

 

Cheers, just need to know if it's the correct one for the stagea now

OK crew, I've not been able to get any info on whether there is a drop-in fit quaife diff that use standard 30 spline axles with 5 bolt flanges. 

So I can get either 29 or 31 spline centre that will use 6 bolt stub axles, therefore I need to know which stubs to get and what driveshafts will be the correct length etc for a S2 auto landbarge? 

Cmon people please gimme something,anything.......

There isn't.

The options for Nissans are

1) GTR
2) S15
3) 350Z

Quaife make nothing that suits anything else.

Yes as stated in the previous comment, I know there is no direct replacement, so I would need to use a 6 bolt flanged stub axle and different driveshafts. What I'm asking for is which model stubshaft and drive shaft will be the correct lengths to suit the quaife centre that I CAN get and put in my housing.....

I get what you're saying now - It may be worth attempting to reverse engineer this

What is required to take whatever you have and convert it to GTR, S15, or 350Z diffs?

I would wager there's no way to truly know without replacing the whole thing, or at least being able to replace the entire thing and see where you end up.

Sincerely, R34 GTT owner in similar/identical situation.

Yep, I was hoping to not need to be the first sucker to re-invent the wheel for a change, and thought that surely someone else would have been down the same path? at least once and that they would share the knowledge gained in the process.

Even the Nismo clutch type diffs requires changing to a 6 bolt shaft, so was also hoping somebody could remember the driveshafts part numbers used to convert to 6 bolt

People commonly put a Quaife in the front and a Nismo (or other) in the back. In my old S1 I just put a whole GTR rear end in it giving me the LSD and GTR brakes. Might have had to change over the attessa rings (can't remember). Mind you I got it for $1200. Prices may have gone up....

I have conceded defeat and ordered a Nismo GT package that comes with the stub shafts to match my 5 bolt drive shafts etc, so it should bolt straight in hopefully, I wanted to avoid having to modify or make up mismatched drive shafts to my hubs as it already has a big brake kit fitted with 4 piston 340mm discs on the back. 

Have new chassis and diff housing urethane bushes ready to fit once the housing and centre has been tarted up and gear set is dialled in ready for fitment.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
