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?

    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
