R200 Users Need Help ! Car Rattles In Slow Turns, Very Noisy

Hi!

I've had a 3x2bolt axle r180 diff in my cefiro. I went to a local wreker and they had a whole rear subframe, which they said is from cefiro. I bought it.

It was a R200 diff (5X1 bolt axles) with bigger stabilizer bar. Thicker than my old one by about 1cm o so. So I bought it. I thought it was a normal open diff and stuff. Cause we couldn't turn the wheels, because one of the calipers was jammed.

Today we bolted the new R200 and 5x1 bolt axles to my old subframe and installed everything. Went for a spin. It was much more better at doing donuts than open diff LOL. Then we went to test it on the highway. The car wasn't stable and it had those really nasty sounds when I was accelerating.

Those weren't clicking, more aggressive. Pretty scary :)

Anyway, we came back, changed the tires, cause my right tire was really bad cause of the open diff madness the other day. So stability was there, when I accelerated everything was fine no scary sounds. The sounds appeared in those slow turns. When I came on gas it was like something jamming in the back and those loud and scary clanking-clicking sounds. The car was vibrating a bit while turning. When I disengaged the clutch the sounds disappeared. It seems they only come when I accelerate while turning in those low speed corners. I assume I got some kind of 1-way diff, since it locks up on acceleration. And if its from cefiro, as the guys said. (could be some other rwd nissan ?)

Did some of you experience same kind of stuff in your cars ? People use lockers, 2-way diffs here. Do they behave in the same way, like in my case ? )

And what could be the problem ? Wrong oil ?(we used shell gear oil). Not enough oil ?(We added oil untill we saw it through the the little hole.)

Please advise me on my little problem. It's really annoying, when the car is rattling and stuff.

Thanks in advance !

P.S.

Mark on the final gear : 46:12, does it mean something ?)) Good for me or bad ? LOL

Below is my original rear subframe, the new R200 subframe i got with some wicked diff.

Maybe I put it wrong :P

When I'm in neutral it doesn't clunk, when in gear with clutch disengaged it doesn't clunk. It only does that when I accelerate. So it's 1 way, i think.

I just don't think it should make that loud noise and rattle the car so much. Its stock lsd, so it's pretty strange to me.

Cheers !

there are no R200 1 ways... no such thing.

a Two way lsd will clunk when loaded up, that means accel on sharp turns if you back off and coast through or in neutral. it wont load the clutch plates up enough to lock them, so no clunking.

perfectally normal behavior for a 2 way.

Thanks!

Actually it clunks when Iback of the throttle and coast in neutral through very tight turns (parking lot). And car jerks, when outside wheel can't keep up with the inside.

I will take a proper look next weekends.

I think its to tight ).

Will post up some pics then.

also just to be sure check U-joints and mount bushings. and make sure everything is tightend. dont forget your LUGNUTS... yeah i know stupid but i have made the mistake of forgeting to retighten the lugnuts after a few miles and i thought it was my diff but the wheel was just falling off haha...

ibve done that also... several times now :nyaanyaa:

but yeah, the diff prob is tight, however rest assured its a good thing, and on higher speed corners etc ect it will be an awesome thing.

So put up with some low speed jerkyness for some high speed fun :laugh:

Sounds like a mechanical 1.5 or 2 way.

They best way to test is A) Look at the diff centre and check for a shape like this:

<> = Will equal a 2way

th_IMG_1258_16_1.jpg

You'll find what im talking about in the centre of this photo, its hard to see in the pic but its through the "holes" in the centre that the crown gear wraps around.

Alternatively, when moving into a corner at reasonbly high revs say 4-5k, back the gas right off which will cause alot of negative torque through the drive. If the car shudders, its because the inside wheel is slowing due to the neg torque from the motor and the outside cornering wheel is being forced to slow by the diff locking it momentarily.

This is what a 2 way is designed for in the case of coming off the gas really quickly rather than just one wheel locking and unbalancing the car both with lock in a 2 way.

Thats why drifters can "lift off" drift with alot more control with a 2 way LSD just by coming off the throttle at the right time.

Oh yeah, The reason if your in neutral, or on the clutch its quiet is mechanical LSD's are all based on torque, no torque no action = quiet.

I sometimes find when I put a new centre in I just have to put the clutch right in to make tight turns, or when taking off while turning such as out of a street just control the torque with the clutch afterall thats what its there for.

Its kinda hard to explain and I am hungover, but I hope this helps :P

Hey, guys !

Can I use Motul 75W90 Gear Oil or Redline High Performance Gear Oil 75W90(I think this one contains additives for lsd).

What should I put in ?

Any other options ?

How much oil should I put in ? 1L ?

Thanks !

Use Penrite Limslip diff oil, 85W-140. Very quiet and very cheap. $24 for 2.5L.

Your diff will take about 1.5L, probably a bit more

Can you recommend something else ? :) I don't think I can find it in China( I was just able to find those 2. Could they work ? Could any other 85W-140 work ?　76 maybe ? )

Or any other brand ?

I've took the thing out on weekends. Didn't find any sings of tear or wear.

Added 85W-140 Valvoline gear oil. It said, that you could use that oil with limited slip diffs. So here are the pics.

I guess my one is 1way or 1.5 way.

according to cusco:i-33.jpg

Anyway. Its still noisy and the car rattles. A little less then before though.

It could be backlash? If the diff is in the car... lift the car up on stands, put it in gear, take the handbrake off, climb under the car, see how much you can rotate the wheel/halfshaft before the input shaft/tailshaft rotates. If there is excessive slop between the input shaft and the crownwheel it will make noise and could chew out your crownwheel.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
