What about a Kaaz diff ? They always seem highly recommended.

You choose whether you want a 2 way or 1.5 way. Gotta be cheaper than a Nismo one.

It's a good shout mate and they are seemingly cheaper. However, I spoke to Driftworks having seen people mention them and they actually only do a 2 way for the GTR (i range because I thought I was being a bit simple and unable to work out the part number chart). But it turns out it is only 2 way and I don't think thats really suitable for a track car, ok for drfit.

Good pointer though cheers.

Ron @ RK used to recommend Tomei I think but they were mega money from memory (Dan Booker had one fitted to his R32 and that handled beautifully) I'll do some digging around and post my findings.

Oh by the way, was it deemed to be power that killed it, the grip from the slicks, weaar or tear or a combination?

Cheers chap. The general consensu seems to be that a front diff also makes them much better.

General consensus was that it was jsut worn out - it is 20 yrs old!! The more i think about it the more I reckon it was v loose before, problem being I've been trying various things out with each development of the car so didn't notice it's deterioration.

Ron actually suggested I put a tight 2nd hand stocker in it, which is another option of course. Or rebuild mine. So it will prob come down to the easiest/fastest route being the choice so i can get out in it again.

Saturday nights in are clearly not as cheap as going out... Bored, I've been trying to find a yokohama advan sunstrip for the gtr. Have found a bloke in the US who does them, BUT he also does a replica Calsonic sunstrip too which is classic GTR. Now in a dilema. Think the calsonic one might look shit as the blue is different to the blue of the car....

If a sunstrip is more expensive than your Saturday nights out, you must be doing something wrong

Get the Advan and stick to plan A
