Hmmm.. interested. I have one in the front - but they didn't make one for the rear at the time. Are you trying to get them to 'make' one for the rear if you get 10 are you?

[bigmikespec]

If they can get x10 in a group buy they will make a rear as well.

isn't the std rear with a fresh nismo clutch pack suffice?

How does it feel? Significant improvement?

At first it feels like stock open center. Don't even know its there. But on corner exit the car turns in at the front more and just hauls out of corners.

There is also less 'aggressive' torque steer, its smoother. I think its a very good thing for a front diff.

I run a Nismo GT-Pro 1.5 in the rear. I'm a bit on the fence about if the Quaife would outperform it for out and out hard circuit stuff, but the Quaife would be far easier to live with and possibly better in the wet on tight stuff. In the wet, the Nismo tends to push understeer the car into a short corner or flick out mid exit, not very progressive in slippery conditions.

I'd be interested in doing the experiment. But I'd hold onto the Nismo, ready to put back in the rear if it didn't work out as expected.

hey, i'm currently deciding on diffs for my r32 gtr which is currently in the build.

it has ppg dog box and will have 400kw plus at the wheels.

i was about to purchase a pair of nismo gt pro 1.5 ways for both front and rear when i came across your post re: quaife

should i reconsider or stick with the nismo's

No money atm but as a matter of interest how much for the Quaife?

Do people put 1.5 ways in the front? I thought 1 way only?

unless you want more understeer forget the 1.5 for the front... the Quaife is nothing like the Nismo/OS... etc.

Check the link for prices.

Is R32 TT's front quaife diff 1.5 way or 1 way? it appears to me the group buy is for 1.5way both front and rear

Hi Nedi, the Quaife diff is not really a like a 2way, or 1.5 way. I guess it it is more like a 1 way. But it really is a completely different design to clutch pack diffs like Nismo, Kaaz, Os Giken etc.. The Quaife diff uses gears to transfer torque to the wheel with most grip.

The Quaife will not clunk or shudder under any circumstances. And it should 'lock up' very progressively as torque is applied. Granted there are some very good clutch diffs like Tricstar was mentioning too.

I haven't used/experienced them all - but the Quaife makes good sense as a front diff if you ask me. And I'd like to try a rear to compare against my GT Pro 1.5 if they are ever produced.

[BIGBOSS]

Is this still on Bigmike?

I tried to pm u but it says you arent accepting any pm's?

Would like some info...

cheers

[bigmikespec]

I dont know what the hell is up with my PM's??? Leave a comment if you like and I will reply.

Check out the GTRUK forum link; if there are 10 people for the rear it looks like they will make them!

[Piggaz]

In for a front.

[tk80]

The front diff's are only aud1300 through Palmside in nz...delivered.

Get onto the guys there if you don't want to wait for a group buy.

They marked the package as less than $1000 so I didn't get hit with any duties
