well i finally jacked the car up to check if i had a limited slip diff or not fitted to my car, and it turns out i do but i'm a bit dissapointed as i'm a former ae86 abuser i'm a little let down how hard it is to put this car round even on the standard 195/65 R15 wheels. i know its soft lock but really doesn't seem to lock at all. i've been advised to replace the oil by my ae86 buddys.

If its got the Viscous LSD, it'll be a lot easier to put the back out than the Helical...

 

[Paddy mack]

when i turn one wheel the wheel on other side turn a little the other way! so o i think its a helical diff? is that right

 

[Nicely]

Yes, if the wheels turn opposite directions, its either a Helical or Open diff. If that's the case, the back end will be more difficult to push out for the reason that the diff is designed to do the opposite. I.e. not loose traction.

open that not limit slip? i reckon i'm needing a trip to nismo diff shop

 

[Topper]

Get us a deal on buying two :thumbs:

Its easy to get it sideways (weight shift) but it wont stay out, as you have said, the diff never locks....... thats what its meant to do

i'm just used to the ae86 it would step out and do doug nuts with the greatest of ease

 

[irvs]

mmmm ae86 had a few of these (typical irish.hehe) and oh yes they go round and out and round again soo easly.

 

[Paddy mack]

but the Garda (fuzz in ireland) really like bothering you when your in the twin cam. you wouldn't have a minutes peace

 

[irvs]

i no the score the cops love to see us in the 325is, twincams n m3s. you gotta admit its kinda funny as wer the only cars that get stoped.lol. sure al wer doing is helping the DOE with a spot of "road marking"

But you have to remember, the car was designed to stay on the road, not for you to drift it and do doughnuts. Its why the S15 is so much more drivable and predictable. Change your diff and sell it to someone with a Viscous. They'll appreciate it, and you'll love it...right up till you drift into a tree coming off a bend....

i'm goin to try it out in the wet just as soon as it starts to rain again. cause with the new wider tyres i'm finding out just how much fun this care is?? i'm enjoying the round abouts more than before so I might keep it.
