cobrAA Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 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!

GTSBoy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The general concensus is that helicals are good on the front of GTRs because they don't turn them into understeery cops.

Piggaz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Quaife. Just do it and don't think about it. You don't know it's there until you want it to be.

GTSBoy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Did you know that if you type "cops" (P I G S) into this forum it translates it to cops? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/422006-front-cusco-lsd-on-gtr/#findComment-6789861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risking Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 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.

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/422006-front-cusco-lsd-on-gtr/#findComment-6799116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggaz Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 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!!!

355GTS Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 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.

R31Nismoid Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 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) They aren't noisey and bang aroundThey transition nicely when power is appliedDrive is always consistent to the front axlesThey just work and do everything in a nice way not a harsh slap happy way.
