hey,

Im getting a new diff center in my car, i'v gotto change ratio to 3.9:1 and i didn't want to use the same crappy single spinner center. it's going to be $680 for gears (pinion & crown wheel) and i wont get any change out of $1500 to change to an LSD.

so i was thinking about going to a detroit locker as they can stand about 600 horse's, wont wear out and unlock around the corners. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these diffs and roughly how much it cost them??

Cheers Josh

I thought detrots were locked under power? So going round a corner they would lock up if powering in/out of it??? I have a 2way, and I know every time I move my foot off the go pedel it turns better, quite bad at times.

I have a locked diff in my 33. They are great for lighting up, and only have a problem on very light throttle, or part cluch turns, like car parks, or 3 point turns. Other than that I have no problem with mine. Although the twitching on those tight cornering is annoying, it really is a give and take. Good for performance.

Had no problems with chewing the tyres...but that was probably because it has that much camber all round, that I had to replace the tyres before it became a problem.

Ok i have to comment I have a 2 piece rachet locker in my r33 with 200rwkw, I have no understeer as someone else has said earlier (not having a go at anyone) the only prob with them is the noise of them when there is no load and turing they clunck, they are also not cheap. They also have a bit of a tendecy to scrub out the tyres. All and all yes they are best suited to high HP and race tracks.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
