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.

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 :D

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-

http://www.rmsmotorparts.com.au/

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!!

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
