ive been thinking about welding my diff. for a while now to save money to put towards the engine. ive heard that welded diff on a daily driver sucks because tunring into parking lots (or turning at a slow speed) will cause the inner wheel to squeal because its obviously turnining at the same speed as the outer. has anyone driven a welded diff that could help me out? thanks

I did.... but at Drift days.... it worked well but we were concern about the strength of the weld, but yeah bro for DD u will have a hard time turning and BTW the car will UNDERSTEEEEEEER all the way when turning until u over gas it and u force it to turn.


So the bottom line: don't do it unless u have a good weld and u will DRIFT it al the time

yea at slow speed it promotes understeer and you will get some bucking at low speeds even when not turning depends on what you want. ther is nothing wrong w/ them if you are OK w/ those downfalls. but it owns for drifting. and as long as you have good welds you have nothing to worry about. and 2 months ago we had a long thread about this i think search it we covered it all i think

Man a welded diff over LSD question is not just a 240SX kind of question, Ask about this in a forum with a more broad veriety of cars and people who have experience with a welded diff.

yea i figured it would be a pain in the ass. it is my DD so i think ill just leave it alone until i can do the LSD...

make sure you get "LSD" not a vlsd if you're actually spending money on it. it'll be unpredictable and a waste of money. Unless it's free... then of course it's better than an open any day.

yea if its free use the vlsd. Just change the fluid.

i dont mean to sound like a newbie or anything, but what is vlsd? i might know what it is and havent put two and two together yet? i just got into the whole turbo scene a few months ago so im still caught up in all of that.
Edit: ^im not saying an lsd has anything to do with turbo setups, i just meant that ive been so caught up in it i havent gotten to research in that stuff (LSD and differentials in general) too much.

viscous limited slip differential. Relies on fluid to heat up to cause locking the differential. Its not a clutch type or helical.

here this will take you to the promised land
