Minispool For R32 Gtst

[BANGN]

does anyone know where to buy a minispool for a R32 GTST?

what specs do I need to look out for and will the same mini spool fit any other cars? ie.. do I look for a R31 mini spool or something.

Cheers

wtf...

just buy a proper mechanical diff

[BANGN]

I have a lot on my plate financially at the moment otherwise I would.. My Diff has gone full single these days

smash a shim in if you want it to be tighter and dont have a lot of spare cash

I don't know if you can buy a minispool for our diffs?

R31 diffs are Borg Warners so no, a 31 minispool won't fit.

Just weld up your stock diff until you can afford a proper mechanical.

shimming is better than welding

I wouldn't mind getting rid of my A-LSD, let's do a group buy

Sell you a new diff cheap

Welding achieves what the minispool would do, shimming tightens the stock LSD back up.

I thought the 32 had a borg warner :S

Was just thinking that if I weld it, if the welding breaks I will be stuck on the side of the road.

So should I just shim it up? I just want it to be predictable.. at the moment it reverts from twins to singles and it snaps back and piss's me off. Also picks up a tyre through a corner and spins it and Cant get the power to the ground evenly.

shimming would bridge the gap till you got a mech.

and if you put anything in that has the same effect as a minispool has a chance of breaking axels so either way... your stuck on the side of the road...

Spool on weld can break axles , welds can break resulting in pinion ,crownwheel damage or launch shit out off housing

Can only shim clutch type diffs, most basic Nissan use Viscous diffs.

Aslyls S14 Racecar has been on a welded GTR diff without problems. GTR is easy as you can weld the clutch plates so if the weld fails it just goes back to normal GTR LSD, If you weld other types you need to weld the spider gears and when they break shit goes everywhere.

There is a tutorial in the DIY area of the forums with a guy shimming an R33 diff.

Fairly sure R32 would be similar, he's posted step by step photos and price lists for the shims as well.

I think 3.2mm (two 1.6mm shims together) is tight enough to chirp tyres while parrallel parking etc.

It will wear out eventually but should last for a good while.

I'm sure someone of your mechanical aptitude (aren't you a tradie?) could do it at work for the price of the shims/diff oil/gaskets etc

Don't weld it up/put a minispool in. I found with my old locker in early RX7, rainy days actually required me to get sideways to go around certain corners. It's easy too do because it's so predictable but would hate to have a cop around when you have to do it.
