anyone got cusco LSD fitted, just fitted mine today and it's making noise when doing low speed or reversing. i heard abt this before i put the LSD on but is it suppose to sounds that loud?sounds like something cracking on the back espacially going backward. i got 2 way Type RS.
cheers
quick question but did you run it in properly ?
A mate of mine has a cusco diff on his 300 and he says it rattles and clanks until it warms up!!
umm interesting you live and learn, must admit the break in procedure will leave you a bit dizzy!
2 way mechanical diffs make really horrible clunking noises especially on low speed moves like reverse parking. It's just a fact of life
yep heard this aswell that 2 way diifs are noisy!!
newclearbomb...are you making a prototype s13 diff??
got to looking for some place to do the figure 8 though. coz, the noise only comes out low speed cornering and reverse parking. i can feel one side of the wheel is locking when doing low speed cornering or reversing if i put my foot down on the corner, it feels very smooth.
anyone know what's the different between Type MZ and RS?
thanks a lot guys!!
It's completly Normal, don't worry about it, just deal with it
MZ has more aggressive lock up properties than the RS, because the RS uses a spring mechanism to provide the locking effect, therefore its slightly smoother in application. The RS is the top line of Cusco LSD and its the longer lasting of the 2. The MZ is just crazy, if you think your RS is noisy... Holy god, an MZ can scare people from 50 paces by just rolling back and forward!Originally Posted by purple_S13
But again, the more you bed it in, the quieter it should get, but it will always make noise. The day it stops making noise is the day id probably be worried! (and dont forget after you bed it in, you are supposed to change the diff oil again)

I'm sure, yes. Once the S14 ones are sorted
feel better now, went out to bed in tonight feel much smoth now...but still clunking!!!! trying to get use to it now...driving in the rain is kind of pain.....but cornering feel really good and get side way very easy!!
And how much was it?
Sounds gooooood, I will hopefully be able to offer some opinions as my cusco RS 2-way should finally be finished tomorrow
I got mine from co-ordsport, took nearly three months to get here!!!! - direct from cusco but cant complain as my mate used to work there so I got a discount.
Anyone got an experience or know anything about Kaaz diffs? Are they any good?
Hands up anyone who has a 2 Way Clutch type LSD that is 100% silent? I rest my case.
Bren, Kaaz LSD is excellent. Of very high quality, the 16 plate one is almost solid... Great for drift.
Paz
What about the 1 or 1.5 ways. What are they like for track and outright handling ability rather than drift?
I.e. would they be ok for our S13 or S14 or would we end up sideways everywhere?
Im more into track than drift at the moment
THats what i thought!
how much are these bad boys and does it cost a fortune to get them fitted and setup?
bren, alot of track cars have 2 way diffs. from what I've seen the number of plates (or the adjustment of the breakaway torque) makes much more of a difference to the way the car drives than having 1.5 or 2 way
I reckon you should order 3 of the 16 plate diffs, one for yourself, and then take some plates out. then split them between me and james
and Paz is right, I'm not sure why the Kaaz website states there shouldn't be any noise. concensus seems to be that Nismo are the only quiet diffs (by mech LSD standards)
