Re: wow, open diff drifting sucks.

im an asshole, but i hate to say this, you can drift just fine with an open diff, just takes practice...i would learn before you go with a locker, it will increase your skilllzzz...

anywho...this is old...i've probably posted it 5 million times...but here..

Re: wow, open diff drifting sucks.

just a little update, i installed a .80mm (smallest) shim in my lsd head (so now i have 2). still need to drop the diff, and still waiting on the tools to unbolt the driveshaft.

open diff drifting does suck. No matter what anyone says, it just sucks.

Re: wow, open diff drifting sucks.


got the diff droped today, everything was pretty easy except getting the annoying asshole output shafts apart from the axles. i unbolted the exhaust to give myself a little more room to work. helped alot. the only thing i didnt do myself was lowering the jack. anyways, i should have the internals swapped in within the next couple days, and then have it back together in a few more. thanks alot for the help guys, i wouldnt have done if you hadnt told me i could.

Re: wow, open diff drifting sucks.

Think of all the money you're saving by doing this yourself. I told you it would make you feel better. Moppie, Did you ask for a kitten or does she owe you big time for babysitting the thing. We got some at our house I could send you for $5 shipped! jk

Re: wow, open diff drifting sucks.

good posts~

its true you can drift w/ an open but that's most likely b/c its nearly broken and it locks up occasionally... in a sense, making it similar to a welded diff.

here's my friends vid of his ka24de s14 w/ an open (which was used pretty heavily)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1XH0CzlmY0
i think there's two shots of a fastback... that Definitely has a fresh open diff. (its my car) my open diff will kick out in the rain w/o any problems. You mentioned it'll break loose but won't kick out in the rain... you could try turning in first then before you hit the apex, clutch-kick or stomp on the gas. if you spin the tires before you turn in... it won't go sideways.

whatever, he has a s13 vlsd on his car now(s14) and regrets not saving up for a lsd. he had a hard time getting his tires to spin at first due to the lack of power.. but he got used it pretty quick. he competes at beaverun near pittsburgh, PA if anyone knows about it... bottom line, LSD for the win~
