Which Diff To Suit 300rwkw - Street & Drags?

[R33RWKW]

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.

Cheers,

Chris

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

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

hmm,

it really depends how much you will be using the lsd.

a shim is ok, but when used for drift for example, it will wear out and start single spinning again in a matter of months.

for drag, a 1-way or 1.5-way is fine. a 2-way is probably not necessary, and less street-able.

i still havent broken the standard lsd

but when it goes i have a 2 way cusco to replace it

jas how'd you go at jamboree

Does a 1-way mechanic LSD, act in a similar manner to the std viscious LSD, with regards to street drivability?

ill let you know if, and when it dies.

although it got a good flogging @ some drags days thats for sure and a good beating in "private" events.

And he only wants the occasional 1/4 run... gotta justify the cost i guess

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.

Cheers,

Chris
