Well it seems after 2 years of abuse my diff has finally lost its limited slip during my runs at the drags on the weekend. Have many others had theirs fail in this way? I do have 235rwkw so it takes a bit.

What can i do to fix it better than stock, i was looking for a mechanical one but no one can get them at the moment and they are supposed to be pretty harsh on the street.

Im also told you can shim the plates in the diff to tighnten them up, im looking at getting this done to another diff for the street and get my current diff locked for the strip.

meggala it was my first ever trip to the drags so a bit of a experiece, and i was only really driving with 1 wheel so traction was not there at all, the wheel would just spin and the car would stay in a staight line so i know its stuffed. anyway, i did 4 runs 3rd run was a 14.0 at 108.5mph with 2.59 60ft, the last run was 13.6 with a 2.35 60ft but unfortuately mph didnt record but would have been a lot more. my times got quicker and mph increased but i had to take it easy off the line, slip cluch at 3500rpm when turbo makes full boost at 4500rpm is not the best for a quick car loosing lots at the start and spining wheel ito 3rd.

Confident of a mid 12 with a good diff and a couple of runs.

Probably get one locked for the drags as this will never fail if done properly.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
