At the end of day mate it is personal preference and or budget.Ive been thru 3 dif big name brands over the years.I had a cusco 1.5way (tight as) in my old 180 when i got it then when that went i put in a nismo 2way i got 4 a gr8 price and that was fine and not much noisier at all then the cusco (when u go in2 shop,carparks etc u just clutch it if u dnt want attention an the associated noise frm lsds).I now have a kaaz 2way in my 32 and its fine and doesnt really clunk or make that much noise,tho i have heard of sum lsds 1st hand that sound farked but dunno wat they r..if u keep the maintenence up on em n oil etc they can last a long time..

Hey man

Thanks for the information. Hopefully this diff will be fine and i will get use to the "Style" of driving as some people say has to change.

With the diff what oil do you use? I was thinking of using a motul around the 80w-140.

Cheers

Another option is to put a GTR rear end in, roughly the same price as a center but you get the larger axles/half shafts, I did this in my GTS-T R33 and Im very happy with the results, you cannot notice the difference of it on the street to the stock one (no cluncks or skids on tight corners) but on the track it hooks up well and is very predictable.

+1, that's what I have in my track car :( We shimmed it up, so it's tighter :D

Resurrecting  an old thread, I believe there are different settings you can use with the Nismo 2-way and  I was wondering if anyone has a Nismo 2-way LSD in their car on the softest setting.

When I bought my car I had some old paperwork and one from Advan Performance back in 2009 stating the car had a Nismo 2-way LSD, I know most the other parts are there as you could see them.

But there is no clunking or any other noises and drives great in any conditions and slow speed ?

Is there any way to tell without pulling the diff apart ?

The Nismo GT Lsd is not adjustable, however the GT Lsd Pro is. Both are available in 1.5 and 2-way.

If you have no clunking or skipping around tight bends especially when cold I'd say it's unlikely that you have a mechanical diff ;)

thanks for your info, I will see if my mechanic up here and check it out, it is annoying having paper work that says there is a Nismo 2-way LSD and everything points to it not being a 2-way :(

Jack up the rear and try the spin test first (simplified, I hope I get this right) – with gearbox in neutral: 

  • Spin left wheel one way and the right wheel rotates the opposite way -> open diff or VLSD
  • Spin left wheel one way and the right wheel rotates the same way -> locked/mechanical LSD

Thanks mate, I have the car going in to change all of the bushes and have new rear camber arms fitted, While its up I will get the mechanic to do it with me.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
