What the best LSD? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

91240SXGuy · 09-21-2007, 07:22 PM

What is the best LSD for my S13? I've done some research and there are so many out there 1, 1.5, & 2 way. I'm not sure which would be the best for my car.

Any suggestions, help, advice, or experience would be great!

Thanx!

The best one is the one that suits your driving style. =P

Koopa Troopa · 09-21-2007, 08:50 PM

2 way............................................... .................

johngriff · 09-21-2007, 08:51 PM

OBX helical.

J/K

Tomei TRAX, its pretty much one of the best.

thatdrifterguy · 09-21-2007, 09:19 PM

iROYAL · 09-21-2007, 09:22 PM

vader3120 · 09-21-2007, 10:37 PM

OBX LOL

johngriff · 09-21-2007, 10:40 PM

Horribad.

azndoc · 09-21-2007, 10:43 PM

I'll entertain you even though this has been beaten to shit.

Tomei, Kazz, OS, and Cusco.

Which way. Well depends on what kind of driving your doing.

vader3120 · 09-21-2007, 10:48 PM

I have seen this company mentioned a couple times, vary few and far between
http://www.osgiken.co.uk/superlock.asp

anyone use any of their drive train products

And

Johngriff was that "horribad" in response to my question about stock VLSD's and if so is that for all ranges of VLSD S13-S15

sleepy_s13 · 09-21-2007, 11:58 PM

how much are you willing to spend?

johngriff · 09-22-2007, 12:36 AM

Yes all vlsd's are pretty much a waste of time, iirc the s15 is a helical and not all that bad.

Yeah OS giken is, OS giken, either you know or you don't know. Its what you should dream about.

IcedOutSoulja13 · 09-22-2007, 12:52 AM

2 way is pretty dangerous if ur using it on a daily....specially if it rains a lot in your area. gotta be careful while driving it 1.5 is what most people get.

tt99ol · 09-22-2007, 01:16 AM

2-way is a real mans diff i used to daily through canyons to work with a 2 way sometimes in the rain, if you know how to drive its no big deal. you wanna drift get a 2-way. i have a kaaz and i like it, if you cant take the noise then you dont need a 2-way but it is really personal opinion, what brand do you wanna run and what sticker you want on your car

opticfilms · 09-22-2007, 01:46 AM

2 way!!!!!! all day

Dangerous? Yeah, only if your driving like an idiot. I've never driven on a 2way before, but I drive my car daily with a welded diff(thanks Flybert, when do you want to meet so you can get my old diff). As long as you don't do stupid shit, it's not going to be dangerous. Open diff is more dangerous, thats my opinion though.

RurouniMidnight · 09-22-2007, 02:44 AM

Yeah i like my kaaz 2 way, a little loud but thats what makes it sound like a racecar.

Enna · 09-22-2007, 02:52 AM

I have a Tomei 2way in my S14. Yeah it can be noisy, but only at low speeds. If you know how to drive its more fun than not.

I'm from Okinawa, land of rain. I have a 2 way diff on my only car and I don't have any problems except the rear slipping when I move from a stop at a traffic light or stop sign.

It's the fuckin rain man, come on. Any car that is using tires designed for dry tarmac is going to have problems maintaining traction at a high speed in the wet.

sicarius82 · 09-22-2007, 08:19 PM

i have a nismo 2way for dd. love it. loud as hell, but o wells. like every1 says... it's all dependent on the way you drive and what you want to do. if you are going to daily/weekend track (not drift), get 1.5 way. if you are solely going to hardcore track or drift, 2 way ftw. good luck with your decision... either way you go, the car will feel much better.

sleepy_s13 · 09-22-2007, 08:21 PM

2way in the rain ftw.

attracted · 09-22-2007, 09:59 PM

by far the best diff is and
os giken superlock lsd

Flipzide · 09-22-2007, 10:38 PM

Eh 2-ways are not dangerous at all. I've never lost control due to my 2 way. I run a Kaaz and I don't notice any noises from the diff like others seem to claim. Only thing that is noticeable is an increased tire wear and chirping around tight turns. Nothing too bad and rain performance is all based around the tire, imo.

vader3120 · 09-22-2007, 10:41 PM

in your guys opinion whats better.

A good welded diff or stock vlsd or stock hlsd

johngriff · 09-22-2007, 10:51 PM

welded.

STAY AWAY FROM VLSD/HLSD

sleepy_s13 · 09-22-2007, 11:33 PM

I had a welded. It was cool, it got the job done. cant say anything about a vlsd never had one.

IJack_NguyenI · 09-22-2007, 11:41 PM

2 ways are boring, get a 3 way!

oh wait... you're talking about LSDs...
