Kaaz 1.5 Lsd Feedback

[THE_350GT]

Hey Guys

Have looked around and have found RMS Motor Parts to be the best priced for purchase and install so far.

Can anybody recommend or even comment on these guys.

I got quoted $1290 for the diff and about $250 - $350 to install.

[THE_350GT]

Yeah i went ahead and ordered the diff, spock to henry cool guy. Even came all the way to the city so i could give him the money.

Will see in 2 weeks or so. Can't wait, hanging to put this in.

Sweet guys thanks for the feedback

Where are you getting it fitted?

I think I saw you drive past the other week.

I work on the same street are RMS Motor Parts.

Henry is a top bloke.

there's a place about 50 meters from RMS which is where I got mine fitted.

they did a good job.

Hey JaseR33

I'm getting mine installed on monday so can let you know then.

What oil is everybody using after the running in process on the Kaaz oil????

[HRthirtyone]

im running kaaz oil in my 2way. its farkn harsh for the street, and i imagine 1.5 would only be a little better.......... but i ve heard ppl say using the right oil and it drives like a normal diff. pffft.

the old 3 point turn in a narrow street will suck, and so will driving up a 10 story carpark

Well i've had my diff if for a day or so now, it is ssssoooo chattery , when turning feels like I’m actually losing speed, you can feel it through the whole car. I hope it's not like this forever. I have to go up a 6 story car park i could her the diff echoing off the cars.

[satanic]

Sorry to sound like an absolute no-brainer but could someone give me a paragraph or two on how a diff works and what makes it good? I've been told to invest in one but have no idea about them so I need to do some research first.

Thanks guys!

hahaha yea thats what im talking about.... there are the good points, then there are the bad points. for everyday use its just unneccessary. some ppl get used to it, but i aint no drift bunny so im not really gonna use it to its full potential, so i actually just put mine up for sale!

[THE_350GT]

Yeah I’m willing to give it a little more time I spent to much money to not give it a go. Anyway I can’t stand single any longer. You also had a 2 way which in my opinion is not really practical for every day.

[Bass Junky]

Give it 1000 klms, then change the oil for the best Castrol Diff oil.

the sound will decrease markedly.

then give it another 1000 klms, change oil again, less sound.

Mine is GREAT now.

I've changed oil twice.

I'm assuming both the kaaz and tomei should be pretty similiar in nature then?

Being chattery, unfriendly to drive daily?

HRthirtyone and the97skyline, can you guys elaborate on some annoying daily situations?

I drive my R32 with twin plate carbon ATS clutch. I find it actually very streetable. With a 2 way, do you guys find it fustrating driving in parking lots, or driving up hill in intersections turning while in the rain??

Thanks guys!

This info really helps me out choosing a correct lsd for my application

I’d say yeah they are very similar. I only have a 1.5 way but am still in the running in process. But at this stage I have only done like 200 K with it in. So its still very chattery, its realy loud when going up the 6 story carpark and the chattering can be felt through the car.

This is the worst it’s been as it’s a very tight car park and always having to be on the throttle. But cruising around its not that bad as bass said now his diff is very smooth and by the sound of it his done over 2000k in it.

Once the running in process is done and its done a few thousand k’s I think mine will be sweet.

Look the chattering is not present but it’s a part of buy an brand new Kaaz LSD anyway. I’ve excepted it now and can’t wait to really enjoy it on track, drift, skit pan days. Hahahahaha Hope this helps

[THE_350GT]

Just a quick update. Have now done over 1200 k's in the diff and have also changed the oil just after 1000. I'm so happy with this Kaaz diff it rarely chatters any more only on really sharp slow turns.

[Kinks]

what oil are you using in it now?

[Interloper]

Give it 1000 klms, then change the oil for the best Castrol Diff oil.

which oil are you using?

the castrol SAF-XA 80w-140...?
