Have you pulled the centre out of the horn, if it is a centre style one? Sounds(beeep) he he like a wire shorting under the button,pushy thingy, then again I could be as cluey as the other auto spaarky,DR Josh.

By the way Josh, that diff! Keh

Ok, neglected to say it has a sports steering wheel, with a fully enclosed, double-wire button. I'm pretty sure the terminals on the back of the button are properly sheathed from making contact with the steering column. So I don't think it's the button, but you should never totally rule out anything.

I'm leaning to the fact that the horn is 35 years old, and sits out in the weather. I'm going to try a newer horn (off my 32), and see if the fuse lasts a bit longer. Then I'll try inserting a relay.

DR_JOSH, unfortunately there are too many idiots out there, doing absolutely stupid things, that it's almost impossible to NOT use the horn.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
