Hi all,

Im getting a Tomei Trax 2 way fitted this week. But i have been told if you change the cam angle you can make it a 1.5 way. Anybody done this?

Reading some info on these diffs it seems they were designed for drifters. Has anyone had one of these diffs installed? Are they very harsh to live with?

I'm not sure if you can change the cam angle in the tomei (i was under the impression that it is a fixed), however the lower the angle cam will result in mild locking characteristics, also it will reduce the chattering characteristic of L.S.D.s, reducing unexpected motion changes and increasing stability, allowing it to be used enjoyably on the street.

Nismo lsd GT lsd are all 55 degree cam angle apart from the PRO TT which uses a 45 Cam angle

Advantages of the 45° Cam Angle

A 55° drive-side cam angle in vehicles with reinforced bodies can result in the inner tire moving in a minus direction during cornering, creating drag which can result in reduced times. By reducing the lock ratio by decreasing the drive-side cam angle to 45°, tire drag during cornering is reduced and circuit times are improved. A lowered cam angle also decreases the power to each plates, providing more stable initial torque.

NISMO's Suggested Users

1. Circuit users

* Tuned cars with reinforced rear areas

* Tuning shops time trial demo cars

2. Street users

* Those who want an L.S.D. that is moderately effective on both winding roads and on the circuit

* Those who want to use an L.S.D. in street driving but dislike the chattering

So in short if you can reduce the cam angle it will still be a 2way but be more street friendly

I'd be much more worried about putting 390rwkw down than what happens when you back off! lol

seriously though 2 ways are fine on the street... you have to be a complete muppet to spin it on lift off... if you jump on the anchors and have lots of steering lock on it will step out but very controllable

Diff is in. Feels pretty good. Terry was able to make it a 1.5 way (near enough)

Bed it in for about 15mins as instructed, but ill give it another go later just for piece of mind that it is done properly.

Terry and the boys at Award did a perfect job and their customer service is second to none. Ended up costing cheaper than quoted which was a nice surprise.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
