No base model LSD?!?
 

like wtf? does it matter? cuz im still sliding the car anyways but i always thought the base w/o the sports package still had one.

in other words.. is a lsd necessary to drift? n if so.. what kind should i get?

:driving:

Not necessary but makes it much easier.

if its not your dd then go with 2 way LSD. both wheels are locked under declaration and acceleration making it easier to drift. problem is, its not an effective lsd for dd. tire wear will increase, unsafe in certain whether conditions.

You could go with a 1.5 LSD which are only fully locked under acceleration but is better for a dd car. quaife, os giken, carbonetics all make LSD for this car just do your research on them and decide from there. good luck

Don't know if I would dd a 1.5 way either.... cornering at low speed makes quite the racket!

No LSD in the base model.


Honestly though, the open diff and the VLSD are about the same....very ineffective. You'd want a good clutch-type or Torsen diff, especially if you're trying to get sideways.

I agree, vlsd is very ineffective at distributing power evenly to each side.

I'd have to agree too, VLSD sucks on the Sport Model, can't even tell that it's there. Haven't lit it up off the line with the stability control off but my guess is it would be a 1-legged monster.

In my G it does take off and isn't a one wheel wonder lol. but after multiple launches, it does suck.

fail thread...


honda del slow drifts better than an open diff z

Actually lulling

btw its not base if it has a sport pkg......? someone correct me please if im wrong?

Base = Base
base + Sport = Sport


lol....

Guess it depends on your goal. The VLSD is great for kicking the tail out, but makes things difficult to sustain due to inconsistent lockup.

The base is tougher but at least predictable.

That doesn't go for all diffs. Some are worse than others. I have the OS Giken diff and it is really wonderful. Not because I have it but OSG is the best! There built so well. Mine is a 1.5 and it locks 100% and 50% on deceleration

I have heard mine make a little noise form time to time and that's only when the radio was down all the way and I was entering a driveway at a angle on all occassions. I heard and somewhat felt it but my friends didn't that was standing right there. I do have very little wheel hop when making a somewhat tight turn. Which is to be expected with all diffs. Defiantly the best mod you can have.

:werd:

Clutch-type diffs got a bad rep because on noisy, clunky ones like the Nismo piece...they aren't all bad.

Thing is, the more aggressive the lock-up (good for hard driving), the more obnoxious they are in slow driving. The OSG is a great compromise between the two:tup:

I've never have noticed anything during slow driving though. It only locks during hard braking.

yep, they did a pretty good job ensuring the clutch engagement is smooth. you won't hear much on it, at least in my experience...unless you are doing a fully lock turn in a parking lot or something....

lol thanks guys actually learned some **** in this thread too
