Nismo 2 way LSD play normal? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ScrapnSidwayz · 06-06-2016, 01:25 PM

So on my Nismo 2 way I can grab one of the half shafts and rotate it about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch and the other half shaft will rotate the same distance in the opposite direction and the diff makes a slight clunk. Is this normal for 2 ways? I have a bad clunk coming from somewhere in the rear end at low speeds when turning and I'm trying to pinpoint it.

Here's the video for reference. Thanks everybody!

totally normal with the 2 way diffs in low speeds or u turns

So it's normal to be able to rotate the half shafts like that? I know 2 ways will make noise but my sound is much worse than it should be.

i thought with 2 way the rotation should be in the same direction?

ScrapnSidwayz · 06-06-2016, 01:54 PM

2 ways are suppose rotate in the same direction and mine only rotates that small amount shown in the video in opposite directions before it stops. When I am driving the car it locks fine.

I have a nismo 2 way. It makes a lot of noise and locks aggressively. You can play with different fluids for more/less lock.

I run Motul 90 PA. I was just wondering if the side to side play in my diff has was normal or if I needed to possibly get it fixed.

My cusco 1-way does the same thing

imnotniko · 06-06-2016, 06:57 PM

i used to have a nismo two way and it would do that under slower speeds no throttle.. under throttle it would lock perfectly every time never had issues.. just a little sloppy

ScrapnSidwayz · 06-06-2016, 09:08 PM

Alright cool that's what I was wondering. Thanks for the help everybody.

My KAAZ had the same amount of play even when it was brand new. Had it professionally installed too. Must be normal for mechanical diffs.

normal. I have the same LSD

2slow2go · 06-07-2016, 01:49 AM

How many quarts u guys using to fill it?

KAT-PWR · 06-07-2016, 07:28 AM

I believe FSM is 1.5

derass · 06-07-2016, 09:29 AM

Buy 2 quarts, jack up the car so that it's level and fill the diff until the fluid comes out of the fill hole.
