sorry, I should have said I think that only applies to 1 way diffs since they only lock under acceleration. 2 way could be a bit tricker since deceleration locks its as well.

but, you most likely only want a 1 way diff anyway, locking under brakes just gives you more understeer :)

BTW I agree with magic1, its the best mod I ever did, the extra drive out of corners was amazing :(

Ok... so for mech diff we know kazaa is an alternative to cusco or nismo...

Ok, back to the topic in the first page, if the stock diff is rebuild, will it still be viscous or can it be transformed into some kind of quieter mech diff?

E.g. just replacing the diff centre?

I have a Nismo mech diff in my car and I have no problems with it at all. It is only really noisey for about the first few mins but after that it is fine, even in the tight Mandurah forum carparks. Tire wear isn't a problem either' I have had the same tires for 20 months with the same tread on the front and the rear.

cheers Jon

  • 5 months later...

I've driven an R32 running a Nismo 2way (new model).

The only clunking I heard was when reversing slowly out of the driveway on the turns.

Once up and rolling and decelerating around corners as per normal there was no clunking.

Around round-abouts I could hear the inside wheel grating.

No doubt that would have to increase tyre wear slightly. :(

I wouldn't worry about a Nismo diff clunking. Others if they are worse.. maybe.

Personally I would look at a 1way for a street car.

1.5way for a street/track car.

2way for a drift.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
