To Get My Diff Welded Or Get 2Way

[AndreW_R32]

im thinking of getting my 32 diff welded so its always locked and its my daily but is all the storys true that it can snap. knocking noise when taking full lock turn. ?

or to get a 2 way which is hard to find in 6 bolts ?

[willL]

yes it can snap and yes tires will chirp on full lock turn

if its your daily and you don't drift the thing i wouldn't bother

[Sunkist]

it becomes a pain in the arse.. what happens when you need to take a uturn in front of a cop lol

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

a mate got pinned doing a u-turn infront of a copper with a weldy... lol

i've had one and i don't have a problem with them... they work

[bubba]

If it's your daily and you're worried about all that stuff, then just shim up your stocker.

Or..

Don't be a pussy. My 32 was daily driven with a button clutch and 2-way for a couple of years.. good times

[turboedsloth]

Why do you need a 2-way in a daily? why not get a 1-way or 1.5way instead. And 2-ways arent that hard to find in 6 bolts

[bubba]

If it's 3x2 bolt then an S13 diff should work fine.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

it's a non turbo, meaning it will have no power, i cant see the problem in a cheap ass weld job

lol, more likely to snap the engine than an axle with non-turbo powah!

Try driving an N/A, RWD, 1 tonner V6 Rodeo.

That thing comes with a locked diff as standard, chirps out something mean and is an utter death trap in the wet! In the dry though that thing is awesome fun.

I'd say your mild manned N/A would be safe with a cheap weld!

i assume you mean to say it has a factory fittled LSD.

Locked diffs are illegal for street use, so i highly doubt your car has a factory locker. (reason being, they promote understeer when small throttle inputs only are applied.)

Imagine that nanna jenny gets in her hubby ute... she goes down to the shops but being elderly and irratic in her driving she comes straight off the throttle and turns hard and late at the first corner she gets to... now if there is no throttle then how is the inside wheel going to break traction to spin at constant speed with the outside wheel when turning.... it wont. it will want to push the car in a staright line.... see what im getting at.

this wont be the case in all chassis or road conditions. both my 33s have had locked differential and i have not had those problems but in other chassis it is a problem.

But it may well be a very tight lsd. Most decent four wheel drives and utes come standard with or are available with a farely heavy duty lsd.

+1

definitely heavy duty lsd then haha

[boiracer]

yup. and its sooo much better than having a 1 tonner with an open center...they see a hill or some grass and just cock a leg and go nooo where.

welded diffs arent for daily drivers imo. get nice LSD

[tm_r33]

yer of corse. many cars would be useless without lsd but from factory the lsds start to lock up upon acceleration.... not deacceleration.

track cars... yer grab a 2way lsd or a locker. in a drift car its good for obvious reasons and in a circuit car you usually getting ready to get back on the power by the time ur at the apex. also there generally isnt trees or power poles at a race track lol and u have better rubber on the car so the front has half a chance at fighting understeer. (but better rubber at the back can also increase its tendancy to 'drive straight' if rear is locked.)

by 6 bolt does it have 6x1 or 3x2 pattern?

[AndreW_R32]

cheers everyone.

thats very unlucky for ur mate.

yes its 3x2 .

and so what if its non turbo big deal your car might beat me on a straight but "Men with guts attack those corners!"

yeah just checked mates his welded diff has been fine.

because a 1.5 way is not predictable to a 2way or, welded always predictable.

LOL!

Sorry buddy, biggest load of rubbish I've seen posted in ages.

A 2 way (even a tight 1.5 way) will push the car into understeer. A locked diff is worse. Much worse.

That is nonsense A 1.5 way is as predictable as a 2 way. It also allows the car to handle a whole lot bettr because the diff doesn't have the same propensity to lock on the over run.

Bottom line: dont run a welded diff on a road car. Not only is it illegal, it is dangerous.

i think if ya gunna do something, do it right!!,

cut springs and welded diff, IMO two of worse, most dangerous shot cuts!!,

go a 1.5 way mate

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

honestly, i have had a car with a welded diff, and i have driven a number of other with them, and i never had a problem with it on the streets )apart from the skipping noise when doing a tight turn around cops )

i do however agree that a propper 1.5 or 2 way is 100 times better, but i'd rather have a weldy than a single pegger!

as long as you are aware of it, then there should be a danger, just dont give the car to the mrs

[AndreW_R32]

LOL!

your comment is rubbish, look it up before you talk up
