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.

    • 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.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
