understeering on s13's is more of a suspension thing....

if u can't get a car to oversteer with an open diff you got probs, i can drift a stock 240sx pretty wild.....

the LSD appears to improve the oversteer effect because its sending more power to the wheels in corners and pushes the rear end through the corner, which can make you spin out easier........

I would highly suggest you get some coilovers as your next mod... leave the power where its at now, its acceptable for the time being, with a lot better chassis you will be able to use the power more effectively.

I don't see how you could consider anything else if you truly like cornering, and are already complaining about your suspension... its the logical choice.

that should take up your 800 and stiffen up the chassis a shitload

OR

find a cheap deal on some coilovers... can be had for 800 lately look at other threads here

thats what I would probably do after reviewing your spring and strut combo more carefully, Eibachs aren't stiff and your shocks might be the weak cheaper models. In any event that would be better then adding sway bars and the like, if you had any money left over after you found a cheap seat of coilovers I would buy some cheap ebay strut tower bars next.
As normal its safe to agree with you but I dont care call me a ricer under REAL track conditions autoX where i've seen it first hand cheapo bars snap invest in some good ones.
There are good ones out there cheap just not the ebay crap all i'm saying.

if you dont have LSD definitely get it!! i dont have one and want one bad because the one wheel wonder crap just doesnt do it for me lol... Just get an LSD off a J30 those are good because its more like a family car and chances are the LSD is still in very good condition and not with alot of miles, with the 240 LSDs (same as J30) it might have been smashed and who knows what... you can pick one of these up at a junk yard for about $225... i found 3 here for about same price... or you can check on ebay as well... OH... by the way dont get an LSD from J30 that is a 95 model or lower... those have different flanges...

also might as well get that speedo thats broken haha,

and get sway bars , you can definitely afford those for about $200 or so... have fun

Re: looking for some advice

I agree with SR20DETpower. I have heard of some really cheap strut bars snapping. You can get pretty good ones for about $200(F&R). You can really base your decision based upon your interest.

Re: looking for some advice

need LSD period. 2 way will make tht tiers sqweek when reversing out of a parking spot, and u will crash if u let go of the gas exiting the freeway. u will need to keep the gas as u exit. all i could say, with LSD the car is a whole lot more fun to drive.


BTW i can get the back to come out with the open diff, its just not important to me. what is, is my ability to ack turns well , and not get stuck when one wheel lifts up (exiting my garage!)

Re: looking for some advice

as for Silvia Scoundrel's question..i had the 240sx in the garage because i was doing some stuff to it (fuel pump, and checking out my speedo)I only had the car 3 days before my celica accident. and im thinking im probably going to stick with my stock lsd becuase i can drift with it fine and everything...that'll just have to be a spring project.
