Which rear dif ?

fastguy9r · 03-26-2016, 09:35 PM

Hello ! So I am in search for a new rear dif ! My car is a 2012 sport manual ! I just ordered a Fast intentions twin turbo setup and it will be here in a month and a half or so . I road race the car but also drive it on the street . I have a DD so it only has like 9k miles on it . So which rear dif should I go with that would work best for me ? Thanks Ken (PS If anyone needs a hitch contact me at 370z Hitch.com - Trailer Hitch, Towing, Trailer Hitches For Cars )

If its in the budget, go with the Giken.

Quaife is a good choice for a street car.

If it's primarily track with a little street go with a clutch type diff (OSG or Cusco). If it's mostly street with a little track get the Quaife.

If you decide to go with the Quaife let me know. I'll have a used one for sale in a couple weeks.

I am running the OSG and love it.

I went with Wavetrac because it performs like a clutch type diff as it locks where Quaife does not. The cost is comparable to Quaife and the maintenance is the same as oem.

I am going Wavetrac. Seems like the best all around technology. This is a great page that explains why it excels vs others. Obviously it is written by Wavetrac so keep that in mind.

I'm still deciding between the Wavetrac and the Cusco RS 1.5.

ban25 · 03-29-2016, 03:57 PM

I have an OSG 1.5-way going in as part of my new build.

Hotrodz · 04-08-2016, 02:15 PM

I got mine from Vivid Racing...

Did you order any seals or new side bearings with it?

I got all the extras from different vendors. Z1 has a kit that includes a Nismo or Z1 rear differential cover. I ordered my the other flang from ConceptZ.
