would a welded diff lock up under fast deceleration like the 2ways do??

also those people who have welded theyre skyline diff how long has yours lasted before leaving you stranded???

ill be doing this soon with a 320 odd rwkw r33, my current diff is too unreliable, breaking traction sometime/ sometimes not etc the usual probs.

lockers can be 1-way, which means they only lock under acceleration. a welded diff is always locked, of course.

I wouldn't do it to a car if I cared about the handling, you'll find yourself driving around the diff. but then, with 320rwkw you're probably having most of your fun in a straight line anyway :thumbsup:

i had a shithouse aussie borg warner diff that comes factory with r31 skyline

filled it with weld

worked for 3 years and was still working when i sold the car

2 of those years with a 240rwkw rb30det driving it

welded diff can be good provided the welding is done well

drift, yes.. it's reversing it across 4 lanes and into a telegraph pole I'm worried about.

you have to be a very sensible driver when you've got a locker. of course, many would debate my sanity in having ZE-326's fitted on a locked axle anyway..

sorry to bring up an old topic.....well not really i need the info.

scenario is im sick of single spinning and losing power out of corners soooo... 2 questions

1. how much, and where in qld/sunny coast can i get my diff welded...can anyone do it?

2. is it possible to transplant a r31 diff into a s1.5 r33. why? the r31 diffs can be minispooled :down:
