Shimmed VLSD not locking up? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I bought my s14 with a shimmed VLSD about a year ago, and now it's not locking up nearly as hard as it did. Is this a sign that the diff is going bad?

Don't bother with the shim crap... Just buy something else like HLSD or clutch type diff.
