Just to confirm to the S2 Auto owners (not S1), the S15 Helical LSD bolts straight in, uses same shafts etc. Fitted yesterday.

Great :)

Can you tell us please how much was the unit ?

Also, how does it feel now ? any real differences when you drive the car ?

It feels the same, no change for normal driving, just nice to know its there if ever its required, and good thing about the helical is that there is nothing to wear out like viscous and mechanical. Pretty hard to break traction with the 4wd, have to wait for some slippery conditions ie snow in Brisbane. Bought it on Yahoo Auctions Japan (japanese wife) cost about $150+100 freight. Installed for $200 at Diff lapping in Brisbane.

That sounds like a bargain... hope it doesn't screw with attesa-ets too much. LSD would be nice...

yeah i believe i stated in another thread that its a direct bolt in

except on an RS4 s1 yuo haev to change the input shaft, which is easy...and remove some other brackets from the top for soem random system and let it sit on the diff

but yeah, i put in an s13 diff wiht a nismo 2 way about a month ago

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
