nismo mech diff - which one or specs

[Drifterdan]

Hey guys,

I'm going to purchase a mechanical diff soon. My supplier can get me a Nismo 2-way for $850 straight away but its an older style one(what model would it be?). Would this be a bit inferior to a newer style one and what differences are there to a newer one?

If I get a newer one I'll have to wait, so basicly is it worth waiting or isn't there much difference?

Thanks, Daniel.

Anything anyone knows about Nismo diffs would be appreciated. Mainly just want to know if there is any difference in performance between the old and new style of diffs.

i think the new one is adjustable for different torque, i think the old one don't.

hope that help

i believe the nismo GT's are adjustable where as the others arent.. although dont quote me :headspin:

btw thats a damn good price, how much can he get a 1.5 nismo LSD for ?

I believe the newer style has smaller clutch plates inside, making it a little quieter. The GT model i think isnt adjustable, but the GT Pro version i have in mine is...setup of the preload(?) is adjustable from soft (7kg/m) to hard....

Ive got mine set to soft, and its very quiet from a straightline takeoff, but turning round a round about, or in the car park the diff does clunk and squeal the tyres.

Make sure you can live with the noise, and the extra tyre wear before getting one. But on the up side the power i can get down out of corners now is so damn better, as well as the ease of getting the car to slide way more controllable

That's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks guys!

Just give garage13.com.au a yell for a price for a 1.5 way. I think the housing was a little extra though.

Yeah I don't mind a bit of noise - the positives outweigh the negatives. As for tyre wear, thats not somthing i have to worry about as they don't last long anyway...

Check out RMS Motorparts-

They have brand new Kaaz 2-way diffs for a R32 for $1082 (comes with 2 litres of Kaaz oil also). They usually have them in stock too.

I've brought a few things from them and they are very helpful, highly recommended!!
