kevmcc90 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Looks like I'm going to need to get gearbox rebuilt so was thinking of getting an lsd fitted at same time. What are everyone's experiences and opinions on different lsds? Any help will be great thanks Quote
_shaun_ Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 few people had said to be quaiffe was the best lsd but after chatting to some of the zisco lads alot of them go for the trd clutch type diffs so i went for that and it seems bang on the money. Quote
Whitenoize Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 im going to go for a cusco next time has anyone ran a trd gear set like this trd one ? Quote
kevmcc90 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 What's the TRD like for knocking and that when full lock or parking man? Heard the quaife is pretty good for not making any noise Quote
Whitenoize Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) What Cusco lsd is best for starlets ? This one Or this one Edited April 21, 2015 by Whitenoize Quote
_shaun_ Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 mines a noisy car in general big rattle clutch side exit blah blah. TD ran that gear set on there demo gt am sure not sure who bought the gearbox after them tho Quote
akyakapotter Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I'm having a quaife fitted will let you no what it's like beginning of next month Quote
kevmcc90 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 That would be great mate, it'll be a while until I get box done anyway Quote
AdamB Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 It really depends what you use the car for. Track work clutch type diffs are the best.Road use then helical. Clutch type diffs require rebuilding, they also require greater maintenance like oil changes every 5k miles, plus it has to be special LSD friction modifier oil.The helical diffs are maintenance free, use no special oils, change it at normal service schedules. Helical diff's don't work as well as clutch type because when the inside wheel becomes light, it doesn't know where to send the power and basically acts like an open diff. Obviously this is really only going to happen on the track if you're bouncing through kerbs. Quote

Drove plenty of Quaifes and they just aren't as instant to lock up like a proper clutch type diff too. They don't clonk if you run them in properly and run the correct oil too. Always frustrates me when people say they do! They won't of ran them in or use the correct oil. Quote
RobSR Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Also what you've posted up there isn't a gear set, its just a final drive, which as far as I'm aware with the TRD one shortens all the gears and lowers the top speed. depends what you want really. Quote
