Anyone know if these have the same issue as a quaife, where if a tire is off the ground it behaves like an open diff.

RN SHARK 07-17-2016 06:16 AM

Very tempting. Let me think about it for a month. But I've been looking at this diff for awhile.

This help from 2010??

"Cliff notes: Both are Torsen-type LSDs. Both are arguably one of the best performance mods you can make to the 335. Both have similar installations. In 99.999% of daily driving & track use you would never be able to tell the difference.

Wavetrac is less $, USA company, tension at zero load provides more lock when one wheel is airborn or on glare ice with no friction.

Quaife has long history of reliability, better lubrication.

Bottom line: This is a coin flip IMO. Stop wasting time worrying about minute differences and buy either one. Most important issue is to get the chunk installed properly by a very experienced shop into your final drive."
__________________


"With one wheel off the ground (or spinning out), both wavetrac and quaife function at or near their minimal lock %. ( I refer to : "some % greater than zero but near zero" )

In the spinning wheel case, the quaife is closer to zero lock % than the wavetrac, but both are at a low % regardless."

I went with the Quaife a few years ago and I wish that I had gone with the Wavetrac instead. The biggest problem for me is that getting into my garage requires a right-hand turn up an incline that barely clears the bottom of the car. I tend to lift the inside rear tire going in and it unloads the tire. The car just sort of sits there spinning the wheel unless I have just the right amount of momentum where I will clear the incline and not scrape the bottom of the car. In actual driving situations I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell the difference most of the time. Either way, coming from an open diff the Quaife was a HUGE improvement.

Hotrodz 07-17-2016 04:19 PM

I love my Wavetrac because of the increased predictability regardless of the bumpy surfaces or in slide. Being FI, getting even power to the ground is huge!

You don't get that with the factory VLSD. It is terrible. I was spinning one tire coming out of the turns on the dragon when I got on the throttle hard. That was stock NA. That is how bad the factory VLSD is. I will be in for this, just gotta wait a while for the finances to settle down due to all the fun I have been having lately.

I thought the whole point of the wavetrac was that it would indeed lock when one tire had no traction? (Unlike the quaife)

Hotrodz 07-17-2016 09:07 PM

Believe me it does lock, driving on the Dragon in the rain was so much fun because of that. Also, at the airstrip the left lane has some bumps in it and I didn't seem to lose nearly as much traction as last year and it was not as tricky to navigate because both wheels were spinning at the same rate.

I have the 7AT with VLSD and am definitely interested in this. How intensive of a job is it to replace the axle flange? PM pricing?
thanks

I just put a Wavetrac in my car (supercharged G37). I gotta say, there are no bad side effects! I have a Cusco 1.5 way LSD in my other car, and it creaks and moans in parking lots, when slowly backing out of a parking space, it actually binds and stops the car... But with the Wavetrac, there are none of these issues. It acts like a stock diff everywhere except for when you're running power through it. When it does, it just locks - no drama at all. And when it's locked, it stays locked, no kickback in a slide like the stock VLSD, and you can easily just drive out of a turn, wheelspin or no. Overall, I'd highly recommend it. It makes the rear end of the car completely predictable, and helps address the issue of not being able to put power down with these cars.

synolimit 07-20-2016 04:11 AM

Good to hear! Nice review.

synolimit 08-01-2016 09:47 PM

Bump.

To solve this, drag a little brake & the other side will grab no problem.

If I didn't have the Quaife already, I would join on.

Good luck guys

Can anyone give more insite on this that knows more about the auto vs 6mt diffs?? It just confuses me as I thought they were the same. Can it work with Nissan 6mt diff parts bought like the stubs?

"""Chris said it was the carrier offset that doesn't allow it to work. Said there wasn't enough demand to make a new carrier.""""

OCRJ 08-13-2016 04:46 PM

Please pm with price.

I think the only difference is on the driveshaft side. The auto versus 6MT transmissions use different driveshafts, otherwise the VLSD or open diffs are the same, as far as I know.

DarkJak 08-30-2016 12:45 PM

Just confirming, with the 7AT and VLSD, only the one axle flange needed? (38220-JK01B)

Crux 08-30-2016 06:44 PM

I am pretty sure wavetrac doesn't make a 7AT compatible LSD. When I tried to buy mine, they didn't.

synolimit 03-25-2017 05:40 PM

Posting back up. Any interest??

Thanks

Now, this made me pretty sure that my next mod will be LSD, as I feel the car isn't predictable at times, unlike my srt charger which I believe it has a torsen LSD from factory and it is very predictable at track.

However, I am looking at clutch type LSD, specifically OS Giken, as I may buy a clutch kit from them as well.

I'm interested but how heavy of a discount are we talking per level?

We cant post public per Wavetrac, ill PM.

jchammond 03-30-2017 03:45 AM

I've heard Great thing's about the Wavetrac....as i'm N/A & loving my Quaife w/oem 3.357 gearing...just very long-legged.
I'm wanting a second pumpkin w/3.90 gearset & most likely will get a Wavetrac for it,,,just have to satisfy Uncle-Sam first....though/if i can find a good used 15' & up pumpkin,from a M/T Nismo Z....they came w/3.92:1 gearing.

DarkJak 04-28-2017 12:24 AM

Was there ever a kit developed for a car with an 7A/T and with stock VLSD?

Z370Z011 05-27-2017 04:26 PM

Is this group buy still available? Might be interested, pm with price please.

I ordered mine through z1, I also went with the 3.3 out of the 7AT because ill be boosted soon and want all the traction lol. I originally wanted the wavetrack for their wheel locker gig when one tire comes off the ground. they got a hold of me a few days later to tell me the final drive ring and the wavetrack hub is not thick enough to match the ring or there is a gap when bolted, so I was forced to quaife which im still happy about but, just re affirming your assumption of the fitment if anyone want's a final 3.3 gearing the quaife is the only one that fits.

Thanks for the info as I was considering the 3.3 gears!

not a problem, It took a while of digging and research when I first wanted to do this. I know this fast intentions TT kit is killer and I really wanted to keep as much power to the ground in the earlier gears. hoping for some first gear traction with this diff and lower gear and the r888 im running
