R33RWKW Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi, Just looking for some advice from people with simular set-ups: I'm looking to upgrade my diff, which hasn't given me any problems with 213RWKW, but When I get the car back soon it will have around 300RWKW. I have looked at a couple of diffs: Nismo 1.5way Cusco 1.5 way If anyone could lead me in the right direction, it would be great. I am not looking to run 1/4 miles on the track everyweek, just now & then. I just want to have a reliable diff which will last.

R31Nismoid Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 rebuild/shim up the stock item. half the price of a brand namer and it does virtually the same job. I love mine to bits. Mine took a belting for a good 9 months and was no different to the day i got it back. I expect it too last for a long while yet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88955-which-diff-to-suit-300rwkw-street-drags/#findComment-1606937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 If you're going to be launching in a big, viscious way mate, the diff won't be the problem. My advice, get an R33 GTR centre, short shafts, CV shafts and hubs and bolt them into place in your std diff housing and in place of all the other gtst stuff. That's what I'm doing - i reckon that'd be plenty for your car. You also get to keep the 4.1:1 ratio (same as gtst) which should see you well into 4th gear through the traps. Good luck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88955-which-diff-to-suit-300rwkw-street-drags/#findComment-1606971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Does a 1-way mechanic LSD, act in a similar manner to the std viscious LSD, with regards to street drivability?

And he only wants the occasional 1/4 run... gotta justify the cost i guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88955-which-diff-to-suit-300rwkw-street-drags/#findComment-1607307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he only wants the occasional 1/4 run... gotta justify the cost i guess <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Ash, & everyone else for their input. I'll have a think about rebuilding my stock diff, but who knows what I will end up doing. I'm going to get rid of the Teins first, & maybe get a complete Whiteline suspension setup.
