hey guys,

does anyone know if theres any additive i could add to my 2 way diff to "loosen" it up?

at the moment it shakes up the rear end when i do a tight turn etc.

theres nothing wrong with the diff it self, this is what looks like inside.

i was thinking of going stock or, getting a 1 way, but i might keep this one.

dude ive got a 2 way lsd in my skyline its very agressive.when coming into corners u have to back off fairly hard so it doesnt chirp the inside wheel.when doing tight corners put your clutch in with a bit of a run up bcaus any pressure and itl lock.youll work it out with practice :cheers:

1/1.5/2 way won't change things too much....the thing that makes it sound and feel terrible is how tight the centre is. you can have a diff shop reduce the preload but then it wont work as well :D And a tight diff centre is a wonderful thing for track driving

If u reduce the preload u will also wear the discs faster.

Live with it dude, when i first got mine i initially tot it was incorrectly installed.

Some ways to live with it include.

"plan ur turns" i.e if u see a junction comming up and u need to make a turn, speed up, and clutch in on the turns.

there are ways to drive around it to minimise the noise and vibrations

hey, i was looking throught the r32gtr shop manual and found a diagram on the assemblt of the rear diff. i noticed that the plates wernt in the same order as the ones in my diff and i figured that i might be able to loosen the grip up a bit if i switch them around. the pic should explain all.

get what im talking about?

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
