loosening 2way diff?

[PHATR32]

hey guys,

does anyone know if theres any additive i could add to my 2 way diff to "loosen" it up?

at the moment it shakes up the rear end when i do a tight turn etc.

theres nothing wrong with the diff it self, this is what looks like inside.

i was thinking of going stock or, getting a 1 way, but i might keep this one.

dude ive got a 2 way lsd in my skyline its very agressive.when coming into corners u have to back off fairly hard so it doesnt chirp the inside wheel.when doing tight corners put your clutch in with a bit of a run up bcaus any pressure and itl lock.youll work it out with practice

yer I have the same thing with my 2 way LSD. Damn pain sometimes.

1/1.5/2 way won't change things too much....the thing that makes it sound and feel terrible is how tight the centre is. you can have a diff shop reduce the preload but then it wont work as well And a tight diff centre is a wonderful thing for track driving

If u reduce the preload u will also wear the discs faster.

Live with it dude, when i first got mine i initially tot it was incorrectly installed.

Some ways to live with it include.

"plan ur turns" i.e if u see a junction comming up and u need to make a turn, speed up, and clutch in on the turns.

there are ways to drive around it to minimise the noise and vibrations

aren't stockers 1.5 way? but quite low preload?

aren't stockers 1.5 way? but quite low preload?

no, stockers are viscous which are mechanically different, no noise but draw back is not much lock and they give up pretty easily too.

I reckon the best compromise is a Helical diff

helical?

[R31Nismoid]

go the HR31 diff.

shim it up and its just the same as a mech locker at 1/3 the price

[PHATR32]

im trying to get away from a locker!

i want the performance of a locker, but the drivability and quietness of a stocker!

hey, i was looking throught the r32gtr shop manual and found a diagram on the assemblt of the rear diff. i noticed that the plates wernt in the same order as the ones in my diff and i figured that i might be able to loosen the grip up a bit if i switch them around. the pic should explain all.

get what im talking about?
