Has anyone tried or heard anything about the Nismo GT LSD Pro? Saw it on nengun.com heres the description?

Designed as a multipurpose LSD for city driving, with increased power for track or autocross conditions. Constructed with four pinion gears for improved strength ( stock has two pinions ). Plate type 1.5-way LSD can be converted to 2-way LSD. 3 stage intial torque selective can be adjusted without disassembling the LSD.

whats a pumpkin!??!

hahaha.. i love my fuel pump... its sooo horny!!! :D  and you agree thomas, cause you want the same one :(

ahh, I still remember the first time you started your car with me around. I was all, "whoa, you have an aftermarket fuel pump don't ya?" and you were all, "umm I dunno, I don't know these things. I'm just a girl" lol :P silly girly :)

ummm... you know when you see trucks and their "diff's" (the big round bit inbetween the axles), well the diff is inside that big round bit, and the big round bit is sometimes called a pumpkin. :)

Well that's my basic understanding of it.

GT LSD's and GT LSD Pro's are only really suitable for track work or drifting etc... no use putting one in a street car as they are very klunky and harsh to drive around town at low speeds. They are mechanical siffs operated by clutches.

Don't get me wrong they are fantastic diff's however a little overkill for a street driven daily.

hmm Id have to disagree tosh !!! :P

fair enough a 2way would be way to brutal in its transition to full lock for the streets but a 1way or even a 1.5 way wouldnt be TOO bad.....

by the way whats a mechanical siff ????? hahaha :(

yeah... what is the differences between all the lsds mentioned, and does anyone know anything about alsds?

it's like this:

1 way clutch pack LSD engages the LSD function under acceleration ONLY. (ie. acts like a normal diff under deceleration/braking - wheels can spin at different speeds).

1.5 way clutch pack LSD engages fully under acceleration, but only partially engages under braking. (makes it easier to turn corners under brakes - less understeer)

2 way clutch pack LSD fully engages under both acceleration and braking. great for drifiting, not so good for going around tight, slow speed corners (big understeer).

I imagine the ALSDs have an ecu to control the amount of drive being apportioned between the left and right wheels. dunno much about them though.

BTW, just because a diff is a 1 way, or a 2 way or whatever doesn't mean it's got to be savage. the amount of pre-load on the gears can be adjusted to make them more liveable. 1 way diffs are generally popular in FWD cars. RWDs mostly go for 1.5ways or 2 ways if drifting is the go. 1.5 way is a good compromise for a street/track day car. providing it's set-up ok it shouldn't be too bad around town, will still be a bit clunky though.

thanks richard!! think i'll go 1.5 way.. i wouldn't mind going 2 way but my dad drives the car abit and i don't want to put him through hell, just so i know my car is safe :

the alsd diff does have a computer... but somethings up with mine :cheers: i thinkt he pfc and the computer don't talk well so my alsd gets disabled.. i also think the physical setup for alsd is different from an lsd.. so i need a diff that fits into the alsd slot...

omg.. did that make ANY sense :

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
