I put one of these in my GTS-T about 7000 kms ago and it's now not holding both wheels.

I thought this wasn't possible with a mech diff.

The car's getting dangerous again as it twitches bad under hard acceleration.

Also very shuddery on roundabouts etc, never really ever went away.

Only done a couple track days with it.

It's on the lowest setting already.

How often do these need servicing, does it need to be pulled out?

If I use different oil to reduce shudder, will open wheeling be worse?

cheers

Of course it's possible. They don't "lock". They have clutches inside that have a breakaway torque. Exceed that torque and the two shafts will turn at different speeds. Do that a lot and the clutches will wear.

At this point you might actually need to get it serviced.

And yes, oil to make it shudder less will likely make it break away earlier. You actually want the opposite. Find a very good driveline workshop and go talk abut oils there.

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
