IF I WAS YOU I'D GO WITH THE FIRST OPTION( WASTE OF TIME) IF THE OUT COME OF SHIMMING IT UP WAS ALMOST AS GOOD EVERY ONE WOULD DO THAT INSTEAD AND IT IS PROBABLY ONLY A LITTLE GIT CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN, AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS IS STILL A VISCOUS AND IS NOT DESIGHNED TO DO WAT YOU ASK OF IT,

IF YOU GO TO WWW.GARAGE-13.COM THEY HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD PRICES ON NEW AND USED 1.5 AND 2 WAY DIFF CENTRES AND YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH SOME CHANGE FROM $1000 ALL THE SECOND HAND DIFFS ARE STRIPED AND CHECKED OUT BY PROS SO IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST OPTION.

HOPE THIS INFO WILL HELP.

Hey i'm thinking about shimming my standard viscous lsd. I'd like to hear from ppl who've done it.

I've heard everything from its a waste of time, to it almost makes it like a locker.

Opinions?

sorry if my reply does'nt related to your questions.i'm quite new about all this thing.

i ve installed a standard viscous lsd to my ceffy..probably same with u.My problem is when taking a corner at a lower speed ,there is some strange noise i heard from the rear axle....it normal ?

Strange noise would be associated with something being wrong or the diff not being a V-LSD. Ie, a mechanical 1, 1.5 or 2 way would make clunking noises around corners.

More related to this thread, I spoke to 2 diff places who said they would be happy to shim the diff, although they called it something else I can't remember now, but said it would probably blow up in about 6 months and I shouldn't waste my time. Also said it's nowhere near as good as a mechanical one.

GTRs come with a mechanical diff as opposed the the viscous in the GTST. We use a shimmed standard diff in the race car and it is nice and tight.....we've too tight for a street car but you can get them looser :cheers:

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
