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.

    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
