I love it for drifting. Gets annoying for dailying. Expect to hear "what's wrong with your car" "are ur tires rubbing?" And the like... Constantly

[KiLLeR2001]

Be sure to weld properly!

I always talked shit on welded diffs till I bought an s13 with one. they really aren't bad though

[UnknownGuy]

I used to daily a S13 with a welded about 3 years ago and the shit was super legit for daily and track. Only thing better tho is a actual LSD.

This has been discussed a million times! Use the freaking SEARCH tab!

A welded is like the car equivalent to a blowjob.

Feels like the real thing, can get the job done, and is cheaper.

But it isn't quite the real thing.

Well it was gonna be but with the 100 character limit it's have to be way too chopped up to be funny any more.

Precisely. :bow:

[chris_240sx]

It's okay. Works great for drifting, but is fairly annoying for just driving around. The car will push through corners a lot and tight turns in parking lots make you look like an idiot. Mine clunks a decent amount if that's something you care about. I'm also very cautious driving it in rain.

[sleepyS14se]

^ why does it clunk, i thought everything stays stationary when u weld up a diff

[89s13sd]

The wheels fight each other when turning because they need to travel at slightly different speeds but they can't.

As others have said, the wheels want to go at different speeds when you turn, but can't, so one skips or slides. It also doesn't help that I have solid diff bushings.

But you can watch TV and eat snacks while your girl (guy?) does all the straining monotonous work.

Which is why I love my welded differential.

Only if it's a tranny.

A welded transmission would suck indeed.

Because you are lazy and don't want to do it the right way?

[lflkajfj12123]

No, because its a $1200 cheaper option for something that essentially does the same thing. You can buy a lot more important things for your car with that money.

You can get a clutch LSD that is OEM from another car and have it be rebuilt for MUCH cheaper

[VIPDRFT]

REALLY?! Since when did any S-chassis have an OEM clutch type LSD? Kill yourself.

[Corbic]

Just close your eyes it will shift fine.

Wasn't the s15 equipped with one? Or maybe it was a helical...

Correct me if I'm wrong cuz I don't know much about these. But didn't the s14 se models come with an lsd?

SE's came with VLSD which is not a clutch type LSD. Nissan does offer a clutch type LSD though.

Oh ok I didn't know if there was a difference.thanks

There's one nissan that came with clutch type r200 LSD that will drop in the 240sx, if you read around. But good luck finding one.

[Matej]

There are more pressing things to be done the right way.

Have fun driving in figure eights around a parking lot. :)

Z31 TT. That thing is probably is all worn down by now if you find it just like the FCs and AE86's clutch diffs.

Yes Z31T(84-89, non SS)but you can rebuilt it and rebuilt it with even more plates. Once you pack it with plates it's practically a Nismo, just you only have 2 vs 4 spider gears.

[ericcastro]

Welded diffs when done right work great.

Once you start to pass that 200hp mark though, you may want to have something that can also give you a little more control and traction then something that is always locked. Also depends what you want to use it for.

Mine has lasted my SOHC drift car for about 6 or 7 years now, as well as i daily it.

[MrMigs]

Opinion?

Sucks compared to an aftermarket clutch-type LSD like a Nismo, Cusco, etc. I've tried open, vlsd, welded, 1-way clutchtype LSD, and 2-way clutchtype LSD.

Trade-off is that it's obviously way cheaper than anything aftermarket.
Opinion? Give it a try for a while, then try an aftermarket LSD, and post your findings. If you have any sense of feel, and if you're sensitive to changes with your car, I think you'll see that having an LSD a lot nicer.

[BoostSlideWayz]

For daily driving i dont really like it... I noticed its pretty loud, especially when turning sharp corners .. which can be annoyng when your just driving through a parking lot to find a spot.. or going through a drive through .

Daily driving for me ehh..

Drifting awesome...

Wheels spin and lose traction so easily it makes drifting or atleast learning how to drift simple and fun which is the absolute best way to learn. Its cheap, affordable and works. Just have to know that if you plan on daily driving it you may not enjoy the noises. or youll just completely adjust to it and be fine.

Nope, despite how condescending you TRIED to be, there's no explanation of any clunk there. That explains why a spool will make the tires squeal on tight turns.

Clunk=subframe, or gear wear/play (allowing for some backlash - the total of which you can measure by parking the car in gear, and seeing how far it will freely roll).

I believe he was trying to explain tire squeal on welded diff.

Welded diff doesn't make "Clunk" noise. At lease 10 different cars I drove with welded diff.

Clunk noise is from LSD equipped car.

[dnice78]

Or what about option C get a spool? Anyone run a Weir Spool? Its like a welded diff that isn't going to poop out on you.

exactly. It clearly show's why. I laugh at a majority of his posts. His posts are funny. The fact he thought I was condescending is even more funny. It's a good video, why not share it. How was I showing any kind of superiority on the matter lol. It's all in his name.
