Sup everyone, not new to the board but my first post, awwwwww....i know. Ok anyway the thing is, bout a month or two ago i purchased a nismo 2way lsd for my S13. Starting yesterday, me and my friends finished getting it in tonight. We took out my entire pumpkin, took off the plate, took out the stock open diff, took off the ring and bearings, put them on the nismo lsd, put it back in the pumpkin, etc etc you get the idea.

So we put the pumpkin back on my car, started it up and spun the wheels. Great everythin worked!! We lowered my car and started out to test drive. It was fine, all the rumors and things people said about lsd's making alot of noise soon vanished as we went down the road; there was no noise at all!! So we pulled into a parking lot (after driving about 2 miles and i havnt gone over 3000 rpms at all) and i started doing little figure eights to break it in. Did about two 8's and it started making a clunkinig noise...thought that was normal. Then all of a sudden it started making a constant clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink noise when ever i was moving. Kinda like the gears aren't connecting right.

So basicly, the problem is that in a straight line, theres no noise....everything is fine. But the second i turn the wheel clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink. It dosnt sound normal, and its really loud. Is this normal?? Is it part of the breaking in process??
