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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
