vlsd or welded?

[snowdrifts13]

i just put a vlsd out of an initi j30, i had to drill the holes bigger for the back bolts to go through and its a little crooked when i step on it my car shifts a little to one side. i took it out and messed with the holes a little and its still crooded and its gana be almost imposible to get it perfect i still have my stock diff and axles should i just weld it and put it in or keep trying to fix the vlsd?

weld and replace as needed bro.there are a couple of threads on here about welded verse vlsd and talk to slappy hes pretty much the drift guy on here. but i would say go welded. you gonna notice some wheel hop for a while but after a while all will be good. make sure the weld is good though bro,you dont want it snappin on ya.

Your gonna have a taller gear set. Thats why i went with a 4.083. Your J30 will feel like it has highway gears , something like 4% loss of acceleration compared to your stock diff.

Do you mean the diff is actually sitting uneven? Thats not good for your driveshaft all man , stop driving your car asap. You should not of drilled anything man!!!!!!! Your supossed to swap diff covers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude , take that VLSD out , and put your stock diff in and make sure it fits even and snug/perect and drive on it and make sure its ok. If you messed those holes up your f@cked.

Are these the holes you said you drilled?

and talk to slappy hes pretty much the drift guy on here.

Thank you sir , but we all can learn from Kamin.

ya those are them but i only drilled the top ones i didnt know that you can change the back cover. so put in the stock one and drive it. or switch the back cover and put the vlsd one in? or weld the stock one?

[Slappy]

Thats up to you man. But if it was me , i would put the stock diff in and make sure it sits right after you drilled those holes out. If it does , go ahead and swap diff covers and put your J30 in. But its your call man.

I dont like welded diffs so im the wrong guy to ask if your car is a street car.

[snowdrifts13]

it is my daily driver but im planning on making it my drift car so i dont wana do things cheaply. so i think im gana switch diff covers but i kindof dont like how the gears are higher i have to cruise at 2500 rpms instead of 2. ill make the switch and see how i like it if not how much does it cost to get welded?

[snowdrifts13]

also how do i put links to videos on my messages like you have i made a video of me drifting but i dont know how to puy it out there.

[Slappy]

Welding a diff usually goes for near $100 at a shop.

You mean how do you post a link on a post? Or how i have them in my sig?

If you mean how i have them in my sig , like this......



Name of video goes here

Then just put it together.

[snowdrifts13]

i mean like you have it when you sent a message you already have your links at bottom. ill try it

[snowdrifts13]

maybe im not so computer smart i cant figure it out. it just sais the video code when i do it.

[Slappy]

AIM me the video

Schuey7 time

[snowdrifts13]
