R33 gtsts and alsd

[Moanie]

Anyone here have alsd on their 33s? if so, what kind of a diff would you get if you had to replace yours?

thanks!

[wilch]

Get a Kaaz 1.5 way

Have you removed HICAS yet?

[Moanie]

hhahaha.. i still want to be able to use my alsd!!!! plus from what i hear, cars with alsd have a different type of diff fitting?!?!!?

and no

[wilch]

different cradle or pumpkin or something?

aww well that sucks.

Is that electrical whining noise with your car when you go to accelerate the alsd playing up? (heard it when I was following you the other morning)

[shonen]

hahaa wilch that would be the noisy fuel pump she has....

[Moanie]

whats a pumpkin!??!

hahaha.. i love my fuel pump... its sooo horny!!! and you agree thomas, cause you want the same one

I had an ALSD and replaced it with a full-locked R33 LSD:D

[Reedy]

Has anyone tried or heard anything about the Nismo GT LSD Pro? Saw it on nengun.com heres the description?

Designed as a multipurpose LSD for city driving, with increased power for track or autocross conditions. Constructed with four pinion gears for improved strength ( stock has two pinions ). Plate type 1.5-way LSD can be converted to 2-way LSD. 3 stage intial torque selective can be adjusted without disassembling the LSD.

ahh, I still remember the first time you started your car with me around. I was all, "whoa, you have an aftermarket fuel pump don't ya?" and you were all, "umm I dunno, I don't know these things. I'm just a girl" lol silly girly

ummm... you know when you see trucks and their "diff's" (the big round bit inbetween the axles), well the diff is inside that big round bit, and the big round bit is sometimes called a pumpkin.

Well that's my basic understanding of it.

GT LSD's and GT LSD Pro's are only really suitable for track work or drifting etc... no use putting one in a street car as they are very klunky and harsh to drive around town at low speeds. They are mechanical siffs operated by clutches.

Don't get me wrong they are fantastic diff's however a little overkill for a street driven daily.

hmm Id have to disagree tosh !!!

fair enough a 2way would be way to brutal in its transition to full lock for the streets but a 1way or even a 1.5 way wouldnt be TOO bad.....

by the way whats a mechanical siff ????? hahaha

[TommO]

I'd only consider getting a 1.5 way LSD in a street driven car.

2 way is dangerous (try braking hard in the wet...), and a 1 way is pointless.

[Reedy]

What are they standard and whats the benefits of a 1.5?

[benm]

haha Reedy's got the trackday bug

Edit: SydneyKid (from memory) did a great write-up on all the different types of diffs, stuffed if I can find it tho.

[Blitz]

Moanie and her horny fuel pump.............

[Moanie]

i wuv my fuel pump

[Reedy]

haha Reedy's got the trackday bug

Yes I do have the bug but I've vowed not to but any more mods so I'm just interested in information about lsd's.

[Moanie]

yeah... what is the differences between all the lsds mentioned, and does anyone know anything about alsds?

it's like this:

1 way clutch pack LSD engages the LSD function under acceleration ONLY. (ie. acts like a normal diff under deceleration/braking - wheels can spin at different speeds).

1.5 way clutch pack LSD engages fully under acceleration, but only partially engages under braking. (makes it easier to turn corners under brakes - less understeer)

2 way clutch pack LSD fully engages under both acceleration and braking. great for drifiting, not so good for going around tight, slow speed corners (big understeer).

I imagine the ALSDs have an ecu to control the amount of drive being apportioned between the left and right wheels. dunno much about them though.

BTW, just because a diff is a 1 way, or a 2 way or whatever doesn't mean it's got to be savage. the amount of pre-load on the gears can be adjusted to make them more liveable. 1 way diffs are generally popular in FWD cars. RWDs mostly go for 1.5ways or 2 ways if drifting is the go. 1.5 way is a good compromise for a street/track day car. providing it's set-up ok it shouldn't be too bad around town, will still be a bit clunky though.

[Moanie]

thanks richard!! think i'll go 1.5 way.. i wouldn't mind going 2 way but my dad drives the car abit and i don't want to put him through hell, just so i know my car is safe :

the alsd diff does have a computer... but somethings up with mine i thinkt he pfc and the computer don't talk well so my alsd gets disabled.. i also think the physical setup for alsd is different from an lsd.. so i need a diff that fits into the alsd slot...

omg.. did that make ANY sense :
