nismo 2 way lsd clunking fixed!!!

[dorifto-san4o8]

so ive driving around for 2 months getting used to my lsd clunking whenever turning at low speeds. today i change all the fluids in my car cous i will be driving it to LA for vacation and D1.i purchase redline gear oil 75w90 and find redline friction modifier additive. i say what the hell and give the friction modifier a shot and add it in my lsd. go out for a test spin and no more clunking what so ever around turns at low speed. Yay!!!, one less noise in my car is gone. now only if i can get my b&m short shifter to stop buzzing at redline...

[Dousan_PG]

wow u just discovered something we already knew for over 3 years...good job!

[chmercer]

lol. yeah i need to change my diff fluid too. anyone know a good additive for a kaaz 2 way. i never bothered trying any of them out, heard you can mess stuff up by using synthetic oil and the wrong friction additives etc.

+1 aaronsan.

I was actually going to link to Juan Maeda's thread regarding this recently, and congratulate the threadstarter for discovering a well-known fact, but I decided against it.

[drift into a curb]

lol what's funny is he could have got the redline gear oil with the friction modifier already in it.

[infinitexsound]

yep no kiddin all good sometimes its great to discover things on ur own...

Awesome I'm a mexican now.

I still haven't bought that friction modi yet. -_-

[vvtisupra]

doesn't this make the diff grab less agressively?

[RightWheelDrive]

^^ Yes it does, but he doesn't need it grabing hard when turning corners from a stop at 5mph. It still grabs when you need it to by just applying more power.

[Irukandji]

i had a thread on this not too long ago.


FOR TOMEI AND KAAZ you only have to avoid a few things.
AVOID SYNTHETIC.

Run Valvoline 80w90 GL5 with Ford Friction modifier (at dealership for $5)
or Run kaaz fluid. No need to add additive for the Kaaz. More slip you add, quieter your diff will get.


I believes its okay to run full synethic gear oils in other clutch type differentials like Cusco and Nismo

I assume this is the nismo street 2 way in which i have... Thats odd i wish mine grabbed harder/more agressive and when it does clunk shake the shit out of my car....different strokes for different folks i guess. 2 way ain't a 2 way unless it clunks I just love how people give me the odd stare when im trying to park

thanks for responding 2 months later when i asked people before on zilvia about clunking lsd'z. anyways tried the redline with friction modifier mixed in already before and it didnt do anything for me.

[Dousan_PG]

what lsd u got again? new or used
if u say used thats why.

[dorifto-san4o8]

when i purchased the lsd i bought it new. never gave me the clunk noise until i changed out my clutch. people said it was harsher engagement from the clutch. i do change my lsd fluid every 1500 miles or so with redline and finally fixed the noise. i was used to the noise that it made but kinda weird when i got my gf mom in the car asking if my cars falling apart in tagalog.haha

[Dousan_PG]

yeah just read your old threads
if u stop up grading yoru car u wont have these problems
mo upgrades mo problems.

your clutch is the reason, put a stock one back and it will be quiet now

redline for nismo is the way to go. ive said it a million times on so many threads.

depends on the Nismo
my Nismo SSS is quiet as a dead 4 year old and even w/ a upgrade clutch its no noise

[dorifto-san4o8]

sorry its a nismo street 2 way... "stop upgrading my car" NEVER!!! thats true though more upgrades more problems but also more upgrades more fun!!

[kenversusryu]

what about kaaz 2 way? i hear redline is no good on kaaz.

[kingsol]

die thread.
if you're not harsh on the first guy for not searching, then others will come.
search people.

Wow... ok....

I made a thread on this 3 weeks ago... SEARCH

on top of that, I arleady stated above what oil to use for Kaaz/Tomei...

Geezzzz

[blue rexsti]

this thread is awesome! I have learned so much. I also have a nismo 2 way and heard to add additive to reduce noise but I did not know that the additive would reduce grabbing as well

[Souljahzs13]

^^^ yes thanks for searching and not creating a new thread. Comes to show thats theres already these topics already made, this one days back 4 years ago and the op didn't search lol

[Black240Ct]

Irukandji..

thanks for that info on the tomei diffs,

didnt think to search for this and i didnt know that
party on

[sickrbs14]

asking question on here is doin homework so lay off
nobodys askin for your 2 cents

[kuelee]

Same here I didnt know it would be less aggressive , I used a full bottle of ford friction mod with 75-90 valvoline, And i just thought the lsd just sucked. I thought my vicious was better. Probably not gonna use FFM anymore..

[ILoveMyRHS13]

In case anyone is wondering, the friction modifier doesn't work on Tomei Technical Trax... Mine is still loud as hell.

[track bound]

ha ha, i was thinking of trying that. Doesn't matter on the track

[az_240]

Motul 90-PA /thread

[smelly240]

i use 90pa with amsoil modifier... shits still loud as hell (2 way kaaz)

clutch - HRclutches 760HD unsprung 6puck - 2750LB clamp... that could be the main culprit
