Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this really applies to s2000's, seeing as I've not seen anyone with a mechanical LSD on an s2k, but I thought I would post in here rather than the skyline forums as it seems the majority of people here are mature and not so biased when it comes to things like this.

Anyway, I've been thinking of getting a 1.5 way mechanical LSD for my Skyline but am worried that it might make the car severely unsafe in the wet, and annoying to drive in carparks.

Firstly I'm not exactly sure how the things work. I heard that a 1.5 way means that it is 100% locked when accelerating and 50% locked when decelerating.

Does this mean a 2 way is 100% locked when accelerating and decelarting? If so, what's the difference between this and a locker diff?

With the 50% lock on decelerating, that would increase my chance of losing it around a corner in the wet by a significant amount right?

Also, if it does lock 100% on accelerating, when in carparks and taking tight turns at slow speed will the inside wheel chirp and/or the diff clunk?

I'm just curious is all.

Sounds like it's not ideal for cornering.

there were a couple of guys selling R200 diff on
www.nissansilvia.com

I did not know that the 240Z has the r200 unit as well
Do you knowthe diff in your 240z is long or short tafka?

solid

I dont know if its the same diff but ive been in a skyline with some form of cusco I think. They are raw!!! There good for fun and great for getting the power down. If you arent that fussed bout ur comfort and are a good driver then invest now, you will love it!!

Hi Tafka,

I currently only venture into www.skylinesaustralia.com

I only just recently got into the world of Nissan's too so it is all new to me at the moment. Not sure where the best place is to get stuff, or who the best people are to speak to yet.

It's a different world to the Honda world. There is soooooo much aftermarket gear. My hip pocket aches just thinking about it.
