Front Cusco Lsd On Gtr ?

Hey guys,

I bought a 1.5way ATS metal rear diff. Now, I'm thinking should I buy a front diff lsd as well ? Car is mostly street-driven but expect to make about 30-50 launch a year and maybe 5 track event ( never went lapping yet, so I'm a newb)

I searched and couldn't find much information really. Not enought to make a concensus, at least. What I found from GTR.UK is the front lsd is somewhat a bad idea and difference should be very marginal and very bad if used on the street. ( but this is mostly regarding 1.5way).

Here, only few peoples have spoken and most said, they were good when matched with other drivetrains mods. other only said quaife was better but not why or anything else..

So please tell me, what if I buy a cusco LSD and set it to 1way instead of 1.5way. would I see a gain or really 90%of the difference is located at the rear wheels ( and it has already been taken care) ? and how would my street driving be affected ?

I live in downtown and can be stuck in traffic from times to times so I always try to make it as street friendly as possible.

Thanks a lot!

100% the quaife center.

There is no other choice for a GTR when I'm asked to fit one.

They aren't noisey and bang around

They transition nicely when power is applied

Drive is always consistent to the front axles

They just work and do everything in a nice way not a harsh slap happy way.

Quaife. Just do it and don't think about it.

You don't know it's there until you want it to be.

Exactly,

I to have the Quaife front LSD and I forget it's even there, brilliant for daily street driven GTRs that do occasional trackdays or drags

That's one thing I did notice with the few launches I have done with the quiafe in. It launches SO MUCH BETTER! Stupid standard diff crap!!!

Hi Paul - can you PM me as well please ... it's something I have been thinking about for a while

You won't be looking back... I sound like a broken record, but it's one of the best things I've done to the car.

Hey Paul

I am thinking of going this way on my R32GTR build. I recently purchased a quaiffe 6 speed dog box for the car(not fitted yet). I am thinking this Quaiffe front diff might be a nice compliment to the new engine and box I am adding. Do you have any other suggestions for the drive train?

Can you PM me the details of your dif supplier as well? Cheers.

Next time you are down Paul I'll have to take your car for a spin and see the difference between your Quaife and what my Nismo front LSD was like, as my Nismo was exactly the same as this one it settled in (about 500kms)

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
