:iagree:

FIRST let me learn you about grammar xD

:shakes head:

No but seriously...

I like the idea of the Quaife that doesn't lock up under slow turning.

THIS is the model i was thinking of: QDF13L | Quaife USA


What's this about upgraded diff bushings? *strokes chin
- Anyone?

Yes the QDF13L is the one you want. I will warn you though, the Quaife is only a small improvement over the stock VLSD and you will still get wheel spin out of corners. I wish I went with a clutch type.

Are you upgrading anything else while its down?

Also make sure you buy new diff bearings and ring gear bolts. I bought mine from a near by dealer and i later after they were installed i saw it was wayyy cheaper on courtesy parts.com I also did not need shims but you wont know that untill you acctually install it and measure backlash, so that is a potential $50 or so on top of everything.

Whiteline diff bushings. Less than $100, goes a long way toward fixing wheel hop. Money well spent, especially if you're pulling the diff out anyway.

Really?!? Wheel spin as in, inside tire lighting up?
or
Both tires sliding properly?

I don't want to have to do maint on the diff all the time either... that's another perk of the Quaife... but now i hear it doesn't really work well :shakes head:

It worked better then the VLSD, but its still limited by its design. If you want the most low maintenance/smoothest clutch type LSD, go OS Giken. If you want the most versatile and tunable clutch type LSD, go Cusco Type RS. If you want a affordable yet still decently smooth clutch type LSD, call Kaaz and have them setup a 1.5 way with "Super Q" clutches. If you want cheaper but still effective, go Nismo Pro LSD, regular Kaaz, or MFactory.

My only experience with a 1.5 way vs 2-way differential was with Gran Turismo.

The 370 is the first car i've purchased that's had a LSD... and it blows

- Any drawbacks of 2-way?
- Which one binds up when ur driving slowly?

I remember reading a thread about how someone's OS G LSD unexpectedly locked up on the track a couple of times. Did that ever get sorted out? That really scares me about clutch LSD's.

Even a torsen can fail the wrong way and lock itself. Usually failures like that are from over heating

when a Clutch type is noisey or "chirps" in low speed parking lot driving, it has to do with the Lock % setting, not the "way". a more aggressive lock setting with be rougher in low speed. 60% lock is good for DD and track fun on street tires. 80% is good for street and track on wide high grip street tires or R comps. 100% lock is good for drifting or a track only car on slicks.

In regards to the "way", that is the lock percentage rate during accelration and deceleration. if you have a 60% lock, then under throttle that is what you have, under decel, you have 30%. 2 way is the same lock % under accel and decel. road race setups tend to be good on 1.5 because there is less corner entry understeer, drifting is good on 2 way since you are constantly on and off the gas the lock % stays consistant

I'm currently going round and round in my head as to which LSD to upgrade to myself. I'm currently leaning towards the quaife b/c of the low maintenance but I'm afraid down the line I might wind up switching it out again for a "better" performing one like the OSG or nismo.

all the positive reasons people go quaife instead of clutch type are valid, and i myself even did that on past track car i had, and it was nice for the time i had on it. then i went clutch type and ill never go back HAHA
