Would this nismo clutch pack affect the lock up rate or is that controlled by something else?

Compared to a couple mates with nismo and ats diff I find the GTR mech center to require more throttle to have the diff lock; which makes it perfect for limping around in carparks etc. Give it just that little bit more throttle and its locked up and chirping the inside wheel.

With the aftermaret diff on low speed corners it feels like you just slightly touch the throttle and the inside wheel instantly starts chirping and shuddering the car. Makes it impossible without clutching it and rolling to avoid inside wheel chirp when mr police men are around.

My Nismo 1 way would lock up at the second you touched the throttle. Very clunky and somewhat annoying although you do tend to tune out after a while and it generally doesn't bother you. I actually like it when clunking around carparks when people look at you and think, WTF! I also 'accidentally' drop the clutch at low revs to get tiny little chirpies and extra clunks from the diff. It makes me laugh.

Then again, I've got an electric ratchet socket thingie and that makes me laugh too.

I now have a GTR diff in my car and it behaves quietly just like an ordinary car. Your grandma could drive it, although she might have trouble with the clutch.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
