right on! i jsut got my installed wit ha nismo 436 gear and its amazing!!

EDIT: as Jussjepbrox said you get used to it... the sound that is

Your diff should not "whine" at all. Sounds like backlash is f'd.

Stock 240. One wheel burnouts FTW.

Ive got a carbonetic 1.5way waiting to go into the car. However, Ive heard for track use the diff is too aggressive on lockup and will actually cause understeer. Anyone rocking one of these and have some feedback from track days?

i didnt mind. i actually love my welded

[s13dan]

Does no one have a VLSD that works?!?! I had VLSD a few years back an it was fucking great, then one day driving to work it blew a hole in my diff and commited suicide... The VLSD i have now fucking sucks... I think when its a full moon, the barametric pressure is right,around 65 degrees out and if it feels like it, it will lock em up.

[Z_Spool]

Still rocking the OEM unlimited-slip diff. I was thinking about just welding mine, but I'm not sure. I'd rather get a 1.5 but with the cost, that wont happen any time soon.

[thefro526]

Rocking a welded, I like it but some don't.

[0100]

kaaz 2 way and fucking love it!

[Koopa Troopa]

Mugen 1 way. Fucking great diff..



In the Silvia I had a KaAz 2 way with a 4.36 final. It was awesome.

I'm curious to hear what this sounds like

mines set at a aggressive lock, so going slow on hard turns will make a thunk thunk sound its not a constant chattering noise from a welded diff, and its not extremely loud as other brands. It "shakes" the rear end too... i was told that using motul or nismo's own oil will make it less clunky. i do drive it daily too, staying on throttle while turning will eliminate that thunk sound or clutching it will too. shit grips the road i love it!

ATS DeftForce 2-Way

[Dousan_PG]

nismo sss w/ 4.36
set to hardest setting
had it about 4-5 years now maybe
might change up to an OS giken

[Fonix36]

does anyone know a welder that can do my diff good for like 30 bucks

[miucus]

kaaz 2 way. locks hard but very noise gets annoying at times

[ae13bravo]

^^^^Agree. I have a Kaaz 2-way as well. Locks really nice but it does get kind of annoying. But I love it. Got it for stupid cheap, Almost free. Installed it my self. Took me about an hour in a friends alley way. Used the Kaaz LSD oil. Mine is prob really noisy because i have the aluniminum subframe bushings. I love when people get in my car for the first time. Their facial expressions are priceless.

I put Royal Purple 70w-140 weight gear oil in my diff and it never made a peep. Clunked but made no chatter whatsoever.

Mine has chatter generally from just your average 5mph turns but once the car starts moving it's butter.

...Sure after that long the clutch packs are going to wear out. Mine only has about 15k of auto non drift use and felt supper sweet when you spun it by hand.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by definition a VLSD does NOT have clutch packs, right?


Oh, and I currently have an open, just bought the car and the seller didn't know So when the car was jacked up for tire replacement I spun the rear and found out it was open. I'm looking for a VLSD or 1.5 way in SoCal.

i have welded in my sohc and it helps me alot.. i tear the shit out of the track. not bad on tires even on 60psi..

i like the chirps on slow speed.. great attention grabber.

[Z_Spool]

Going back up top... Dropping in a welded diff tomorrow. My buddy scored a Viscous for cheap, so he installed it and welded his original one and we're throwing it on my S13 tomorrow. We'll see how it is, but I'll still have my open one to throw back on if it gets to be too much.

[TCtrackrunner]

J30 for 90bucks

[FIlthy 24O]

is it safe to drive 80 with a welded in the rain????prolly gonna put one in but idk about here in cali..my friend in hawaii his car just spun out into a wall but who knows how...also the whole under power thing with a welded i had one with my ka and it seemed to be just fine...anyway u guys ever feel unsafe goin fast in the rain

A Quaife never locks, they are torque biasing differentials like S15 HLSD's. In a drift t'll constantly try to transfer power back and forth to the tire with more grip but it does not have the capability to "lock". That's why they're great for the street, because they're completely transparent where a welded or overly aggressive clutch diff will produce understeer unless you power out of it into oversteer.\

I had an ATS Deftforce and when the drift events dried up in my area I got sick of the way it made the car feel so I bought an old vlsd and now just drive the shit out of my car on the street. I can still slide a bit on the rare occasions that I both want to and can get away with it so i'm happy enough with that.

Iv Had VLSD, Welded, 1.5Way and a 2Way. I can say that the Welded worked the best on my KA, but when i did my power upgrades in my other KA the 2way Worked sooo much better overall, Drifting, AUto-x, and some spirited driving. Driving in the Rain with Welded at 80MPH in CA isnt soo bad as long as you have good tires.
