Helical Limited-slip Differential?

[Forrest80]

How hard would it be to get this on the coupe?

I dont know enuff mechanicly to know if this is a dumb question or not.

Its something id really love to have though.

I am thinking if a sentra has it why not a altima coupe?

not too hard. but I don't think it's worth it for FWD applications with less than 300hp

what about for an Arab with a blue TURBO 3.5se lol for a 3.5se it would be good in my opinion. since we come with 270hp stock

Honda and Nissan think its worth it. Sentra SER, Si.

I dont think its so much about Power, thats what traction control is for.

This is about takeing a corner more stable and faster speed than what you normaly could do with out.

Its about your Inside wheel not spinning the same ammount of rotations as the outside wheel, will let you corner better.

i HATE traction control and it doesn't help traction, all it does is kill the power on the car..... if i wanted that i'd just let off the gas myself lol i HEARD (not sure if its true or not) that torque steer is a result of losing traction in a FWD car while turning. if thats true then ya a LSD (Limited Slip Differential) would help.

I think haveing it would remove torque steer. Im not use to FWD car so i have not felt torque steer to much yet.

No, torque steer is torque moving through the drivetrain (usually in 1st gear) that makes the wheel jerk to the left or right.

The 4th GEN's typically have no torque steer but you can still feel the steering wheel become stuff once you throw the petal down.

Try test driving a 2007 Camry V6 and floor it from a stop, the wheel will yank to the left and right violently.

That is torque steer. You're talking about FWD understeer which is not turning as sharply as you wanted too. RWD with alot of power gets OVERsteer, which means you turn so much you actually spin out.

I know it's an old post....

the coupe actually has a limited slip differential when you get the VDC package

[mcheddadi]

it's not a mecanical limited slip. it's like abs + engine management with sensors
