Boost and open differential SUX!

[DammitBobby]

That only took me a few seconds of boosting to realize that one! What tires stick good? What diff do I need if I want to drag race and drift? How much is it going to cost me? Why does everything cost so much? It is funny with a stock motor this was never really anything I needed to worry about. I was happy just chirping 3rd gear but last night(boosting for the first time) I really don`t know if the car ever stopped spinning. Dam that was fun and kind of scary last night

My Sumitomo's stick good, And yeah open diff boosting kinda sucks sometimes. Quaife A.T.B. Differential $1500 (thats what i'm savin for)

Go cheap, just weld your spider gears...lolInstant posi traction...

[Structure240sx]

yea seriaouly, a couple local guys i know run welded open diff's daily. they say its really not that bad and on of them lives in NYC. if i blow mine or sell it to my friend i will prolly do that same thing

[virus77]

get a J30 diff and/or a nice set of wide rims

[Toahk]

I run a 2 way with my ka-t, excellent traction. Not bad streetability also.

[DammitBobby]

I did that to my 69 Mach1 many moons ago and every time you turn the car would shake.

[sil80drifter]

does your two-way go crrkrrkkttt every time you take a turn in a parking lot?

Yep. When I take people for rides they always get this look of horror on their face. It sounds like my car is falling apart and I just reply "its supposed to do that "

[ckamc]

i recommend nismo 1.5 way lsd or 180sx vlsd...

[WDRacing]

Well, if you swap out your diff, try welding your stock unit and be the test monkey for NICO. Or send it to me and I'll weld it up and put it in.

same here. my 2-way nismo does that . people look at me like iam crazy and i tell them the same thing ..

Same for me,and its even worse with 9/7 spring rates and daily driving azenis sports.

[DammitBobby]

Hmm, it would be cheap and I wouldn`t have to spend any money. I have a friend who can weld. Dam I am cheap!!

pauls car is the scarest car i've ever sat in!!! his welded diff sucks!!! on the highwya if you floor it and theres a turn, you feel the rear hoping up and down, and when you do a U-turn, the whole car hopes likes its doing a jump rope. he almost lost control twice on the highway with me in it when he was punching it. very veyr scary. i would never weld my diff especially after seeing how paul's car drives.

also imagine how bad it is in the rain *shudder* paul can say whatever he wants, but i think its scary as hell.

sure it's not the best idea if you want to take curves. I'll just use my welded one for drift competition

[WDRacing]

U-turns are an easy fix, rev to 5000, drop clutch, turn wheel...

[KATwo40]

lol sounds like a Tennessee U-turn

[catty]

lol hell thats what I do with my two-way, you wouldnt believe the turning radius the car has when you do that

s15 Helical LSD....I got the torsen unit with the output shafts for 400 shipped (good find on ebay)

[TheOne]

so welding the open diff works good? i know ppl have welded theirs on other cars but it doesn't always hold much(breaks)

[greazymule]

well i actually have a welded diff unlike most in this thread who are just speakin based on heresay.

you would NOT feel it on the highway at that speed! the rear would not be hopping due to the bushings, suspension, tires, etc. taking the stress and absorbing the shock. you say paul lost control? seems like a problem with paul's driving. you have full control of the car when you are putting all the power down, that is what a car is supposed to feel like. you will only feel it at low speeds such as parking where it will "skeet" during turns. the size and condition of your tires make a difference. if i have bald as 195's it is rather easy. but with new 205s it is a lil tougher but no big deal. the main thing is to give it more gas at low speed. you will get the hang of it. mine has been to DD3, DD5, sfs sidways 2004, Ter-tech practice at hialeah, and sfs sideways 2005 round 1 and my diff is still holding. it was brazed between the spider gears to impede the turing of the gears. it has taken a beating and is a good solution for someone on a budget. oh and the DD's are 3 hours each way from my house. ask pros like mattback from enjuku racing who says welded diff is better than vlsd. i highly reccomend it for anyone wanting to be competetive in a budget. i have done pretty well with it.
