Diff's - Whats The Diff? 1 Way, 1.5 Way, 2 Way

The standard gtr diff is a 2 way? Im confused

yes it is. but it doesn't have as many clutch plates as a common aftermarket 2 way. so it's much more liveable on daily driving, doesn't clunk etc and needs more torque generally before it locks.

you can convert a starndard 32 GTR diff to what is effectively a nismo 2 way for about $200 with a kit from nismo.

Most importantly the part number of the Nismo GT LSD Pro sticker is:

99992 - RN380

But you cannot get a TT for a GT-R.

Are you sure about that Richard? I got quoted one by Greenline.. But I choked and got the Pro because I wasn't sure if the TT was going to be man enough.. I'm pretty sure they are available for the GT-R, and in hindsight, probably what I should have got for a more streetable diff that still hangs on..

The pro has adjustable preload. It's as streetable as you want it to be. Mines the model below that so permanently uber tight. great on the track, and exactly as beer baron described on the street.

Ive got a nismo 2 way, bought it 2nd hand so dun know exactly what model, but i think its fine on the street, chirps, clunks sometimes but its awsome when you put your foot down

Turns out they do now offer one. Sorry for my old info. I couldn't find one last year when I looked.

i have a nismo 2 way in the silvia. you are welcome to test it out chubbs. it's a farkin pig of a thing around the streets. it clunks like buggery and sounds like your whole car is about to fall apart! or alternatively it will chirp tyres. BUT on the track it's awesome. very predictable which is exactly what you want.

hahahha i have a nismo 2 way aswell, noisy, clucky, everyone looks at my car like its about to fall apart but i LOVE it and id never replace it with anything else in the world

[bubba]

^^ +2

[evil_weevil]

Richard, yeah would love to have a drive

I drove a work mates sprinter with a two way around my area, and yeah, I totally now know what you guys mean about the car about to fall apart!!!

But if its great on the track - I dont care bout the street

[msnismo]

^^^ lol evil bish...

You have already driven a shimmed 32GTR (nismo kit) 2 way, the zed has one... Although once we changed the oil (drag day) it got clunkier and less street friendly then the old oil which was lets say.... extremely overdue!!!

I new to learning about Diffs. I have a R32 GTS-T. I do daily driving, dont race but do like to go fast on the highway and take tight corners on the street. Do I need a upgraded Diff or is the stock one fine? I rode in a R32 GTS-T that had a 2way Diff and it was loud and clunky. I don't want this, is there a way to get a upgraded Diff and not have this annoying sound and clunkiness. Girlfriend wouldn't like it either. Laugh

Help

Well the best advice you will get is to stop driving like an idiot on the road and take your car to a track.

Apparently when a car gets impounded it doesn't really matter what type of diff it has.

Typically girlfriends don't much like having to walk everywhere either.

im inthe same boat as 335 have only just purchased my first skyline (r32) and im loving it, but now im looking at taking it to the tracks for drift days and all that! I know that i need one but what sort is the question, i still drive the car on the streets and the majority of my driving is done in the car so something thats not to bad but will give me the control i need<br /><br />cheers josh

The fundamental problem is that what works well on the track is usually far too harsh for the road & what is nice to drive on the road is inadequate for the tracks.

Having said that check the Nismo GT Pro LSD TT range (or whatever the most recent stuff is called) as they are the nearest I have found to a reasonable compromise.

[533EYA]

cheers mate i will definitly have to look in to that diff

[NickR33]

I'm running the Cusco RS 2 way in my car now... and let me say that it has done more for rear end grip than any other mod so far... that includes shocks, pinapples, camber adjustment and good tires...

it will try and turn the inside wheel whilst parking and doing tight turns on the street and will clunk a little when cold, but none of the harsh banging that I have experienced with some of the more agro diffs... once you adjust your driving style to suit ie stay off the throttle and 'coast' when you have lots of steering lock on its fine...

it is the more street friendly of the Cusco range as it uses springs to lessen the shock... the MZ is the agro one

At DECA (motokhana) I have also had to change driving style... where once I could do a handbrake turn whilst staying in 2nd (it would light up the unloaded tire which would bring the revs up and I could power away) now it just grips and bogs and I need to use 1st gear... once it is out sideways tho it feels much more controllable, and most importantly much quicker

the whole 2 way thing hasn't been an issue yet but I haven't been onto a proper track... it will lock the rears if you downshift too harshly but that kinda helps turn in lol

Are these the right numbers and what the difference...8kg/12kg???

3843S-RS520 - 8kgf spec

3843S-RS521- 12kgf spec

[Beer Baron]

yeah I think I posted it earlier in the thread maybe? Spewing, I've had one on my desk for months, but I just posted it off to another user here last week!

[Beer Baron]

lol, the ol sneaky edit while I was posting trick! not sure if they are right but they should be if you found it in one of my other posts. the difference i believe is the preload.
