in my experience the kaaz are the worst of the lot noise wise. best ones are cusco and tomei and they are still noisy and the new nismo ones are good too (old nismo 2 ways are noisy as hell too). all mech 2way or 1.5way LSDs are going to make some noise/shudder but from what i've experienced kaaz are the worst.

Biggest problem is that people run them in wrong or expect no noises at all like their standard diffs.

When your running it in and doing the figure 8s you have to clutch in before turning then clutch out when your fully straight again. If you are going out and just doing figure 8s and not using the clutch chances are it will be noisy.

I have been drifting/driving daily on my kaaz diff for over a year and a half and it does not make a noise apart from the lock up clunks on a tight slow turn or the shudder clunks when reversing out and playing with the clutch. But they are expected because they mean the diff is doing its job.

I had a lot of issues with the cusco 2 way lsd in my R32 for quite a while. I put in a 75w90 Fully Synthetic LSD oil from penright and it settled the noises down dramatically. It can be a little obnoxious when the car is cold but a few mins of driving to hat up the diff oil it settles to almost as quite as a stock one.

I'm not sure how similar the cusco diffs are to the Kaaz diffs but it could help.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
