I am keen to get a 2way Nismo LSD for my 4WD S1 when it arrives.

I have a few questions though,

I know how a good 2way acts in a light RWD car (My AE86), and I am quite a fan of the handling improvements it makes.

How much different will this be to a heavy 4WD car with Attesa?

Will the loss of rear end traction make the Attesa power up the front wheels?

This sounds a bit dangerous and unbalanced.

Can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Thanks

the autech version came out with LSD as standard ( if it was 1.5 way or 2 way LSD I dont know )

I presume that means the 260rs Autech version? ( still pretty new to this )

so If Nissan did it from factory then it must be ok .. only thing to find out is if its a 1.5 way or a 2 way LSD

Is it going to be an Auto your putting it in?

Yeah, it would be going into an auto. That brings up another question/concern...

Unwanted gearchanges during an opposite lock moment could cause the car to kick back.

Any comments on this?

yeah get a manual

get a 2 way

go drifting

on a side note though

you should be fine, if it wants to kick, the atessa will pull power and put it up front anwyays

I don't really want a manual. My AE86 is setup well for sliding.

I want a practical car that can allow me to have some 'fun' when the mood is right.

I'm not worried about the rear end kicking out, more about the front end gripping up as the attesa gives it power (pulling out of the slide aggresively)

understandable

i think it would help, but i think you really only need a 1.5 way since you really dont need it to lock up under decel.

it should improve your corner exit grip id think

well normally a 2 way is good for drifitng becuase you want the wheels to lock up adn decel and accel, keeping the drift longer

1.5 is the preferred for grip around here.

well, considering you have a S1 RS4 NOT an RS4 S that really doesn't have much bearing here Grant. Ian is talking about the S2 RS4 S that, apart from being a factory manual, has a lot of extra gear the RS4 doesn't have, and the LSD is only a part of a long list.

Ian - is the factory lsd a 1 or 1.5? would be good to know if one ever popped up on the auctions.

i thought he meant RS4s as in plural

nope, as the post above this states - I meant a RS4S (which is what I said)! Follow the link for details.

newbie101, not sure. What does the gtr one do as it probably is the same. (As said, I just haven't had my stagea sliding at all - it doesn't do it on wet roads, wet tram tracks, or even the odd dirt road). Mind you, I'm not trying to slide it in the first place...

ive had abit of experience with the gtr lsd and in 2wd and 4wd (had around 550rwhp), 2wd = major major drift action and damn easy to control these long wheel base designs, i could fishtail up the road as far as i want and in any gear lol :) and 4wd is pretty damn good i never really tried any hard cornering with full power because i never got a chance, but 8000rpm launches and its smokin the 2 rears and 1 front wheel ;)

oh god i miss the power of my baby, the gto is seriously lacking in the power department at the moment :)

the rs4s has a lsd - in fact it has the same gtr diff as the 260rs. see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...563&hl=rs4s

Drive it it is hard to tell what the impact is, as we haven't really got it ever sliding! Car behaves like it's on rails...

Ian

what he said.

go the RS4S !!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hi Gents, Someone I know (experienced engine builder) built an engine. It had some chinesium rods that came with ARP 2000 bolts. One failed on the dyno, destroyed the whole thing. The only possibilities are: Installation error. Possible, but we should discount it almost 100% because he knows what he's doing. He doesn't discount it that much, because he's being hard on himself. QC/QA problems with ARP products. I'd like to discount this, but I have heard a number of stories about similar failures, and stories of some builders buying 2 sets of everything, x-raying everything, and picking only those bolts that they are completely happy with. This behaviour coming from anecdotal stories of ~1% failure rates. 1% of all rod bolts failing would be about 1000x higher than I would expect to be anywhere near tolerable. If I were ARP I certainly wouldn't even be selling the product if they were dying at that rate (for non-installation error reasons). So, I would prefer to discount that possibility too. Fakes. Specifically, fakes being sold bundled with cheap rods sets from CCP factory B in Shenzen, or wherever the stuff is being made this week. So the question here is, does anyone else have some horror stories that would point to fakes being circulated in this manner?

      I forget this is an au website, my GTR FS5R30A was 2200 AUD delivered but I did have to go to a warehouse near the port to pick it up myself.

      Excuse for an epic road trip?  I expect a few people would be thinking of doing that given the price.

      That's tempting to me, but I don't know how to not f**k you around, given I'm interstate.

      I've got a R33 turbo box I don't need if you're interested. I only ran it for a couple of track days and on the dyno before going sequential. In Melbourne, $1500 if you don't stuff me around.
