Deftforce LSD:
http://www.a-t-s-usa.com/images/photos/Deftforce2.jpg

"Deftforce is an ultimate LSD reinforced for drifting, that evolved from the collaboration with Takahiro Ueno of T&E, who has participated in and won the D1 Grand Prix. Deftforce fulfills the three necessary conditions for drifting competition - ultra locking performance, controllability, and durability." -quote from ATS

1) Super powerful differential lock and controllability to support high speed drifting
2) Power and toughness resulting from the world's largest-diameter non-grinding clutch plate
3) Five times the durability of conventional models
4) Specifications optimized based on technical feedback from D1 Grand Prix drivers
5) Type S for street / city driving, and Type R for racing and competition

**The Deftforce bolts directly into USDM open diff. case.
**Comes with 2 liters of ATS LSD Oil (85-90) and bearing.
**Deftforce comes standard in 2.0 configuration but can be ordered in 1.5 way for those that want the Deftforce strength but not the decel locking characteristics of a 2.0 way differential.

MA-Motorsports Price: $1026 Shipped in US48

What am I looking at for a metal or (deftforce if it will fit) rebuild kit for a 180sx vlsd pumpkin. zip is 92408 Thanks

Steven

Brian W.
08-27-2004, 06:55 PM
Steven,

If you already have the ATS Metal LSD:

-Rebuild for the Standard 12 plate (metal LSD) IS $285 Shipped in US48. This includes 12 new plates and springs.

-Conversion Kit for Standard Metal 12 plate to Deftforce is $410 Shipped in US48. This includes ONLY 4 Plates all new gears, springs, and 2 cam rings. If you wanted to rebuild yours while converting to a deftforce you would have to also purchase the Standard 12 plate kit to make it a total of 16 plates. This is essentially replacing everything in your pumpkin and could be quite expensive if you went this route...

...However if all you wanted to do was rebuild your ATS Standard Metal LSD it would only cost you $285.

Let me know if you have anymore questions. =)

Just installed and broke in my ATS Carbon LSD last night and WOW!!!!! This thing is sooooo quiet. Even when we first pulled it off the trailor it barely clunked at all and it locks like a clutch type should only not as abrupt.. I love it... cant wait to put it to good use this Sunday @ Civil War!!

damn once i get back from jgtc i'll hit you up.


A few questions. Will they be able to be serviced in the US or at least get replacement disks. So it comes with bearings and oil or just oil?? IF it comes with the bearings i will have to pick this up becuase that would be the cost for a kaaz plus bearings

Brian W.
12-05-2004, 09:12 PM
If you are reffering to the ATS Deftforce then Yes, it does come with Bearings, seals, oil, and all.

And yes these LSDs are serviceable in the US and parts are readily available too!

Nutipah,

All Deftforces are Type R and all regular Metals are the S Type. Type R will have a harder initial lock aswell as in some cases have more discs. What kind of motorsports do you participate in? Tell me that and ill tell you what diff is best. :wiggle:

what is the advantage of carbon over deftforce. i know carbon is quieter, but is it as strong (locking power) as metal? what would u recommend for drifting? carbon or deftforce? they both have the same amount of plates right? which is..

Brian W.
01-06-2005, 10:48 AM
The deftforce is THE diff for drifting it locks hard and abrupt like a 2way metal LSD should. The Carbon LSD has very smooth transitions and does not clunk like metal diffs. I use the Carbon in my car for drifting but i do HPDEs and autocrosses with it. I fealt the 2.0way Carbon was the diff for me.

would carbon plates last as long as metal plates? what about the price for the rebuild kit, would carbon cost more than the metal rebuild kit?

FRpilot
01-26-2005, 10:42 AM
so the carbon one is more for street.. quiet and soft but doesnt lock as hard.. it might be nice to consider for the street, since i dont want all the clunking noises.. by METAL, do you mean helical like s15 diffs, or clutch type?

Brian W.
01-27-2005, 10:14 PM
When i say Metal LSD i mean Metal clutch plates as apposed to Carbon plates. This is really only covered when reffering to ATS LSD as they are the only ones to offer Carbon Plates.

The Carbon does indeed wear faster, about 25% faster then the traditional metal LSD. Thats saying alot too because the ATS LSD will last for very, very long time before needing rebuild if properly maintained. The rebuild for Carbon is substantially more then the Metal of course, but again, these diffs last a long time... even under heavy abuse.

I suppose the Carbon could be considered more of a "Street" diff due to its quietness and NO clunking. IT will still lock the wheels when going around tight corners and the tire will chirp a little. I would say the carbon is more Road Race or Autocross oriented as it does not lock as abruptly as the Deftforce or regular Metal LSD.

Brian you the one I met at the last dgtrials clinic? I remember talking to you when you were in my group. Im just asking caus the wheels in your sig were the one's i was drooling over while we were there. I had the white zenki (only brown guy there :Ownedd: ). You started off im my group for a while, but "graduted" early :goyou: just curious and wanted to say hey and ask if you guys have deftforces in stock. Im prolly gona be hitting you up in a month or so for a deft force seeing as spring is coming up. :rawk:

Whats the price for the carbon diff?

How long is the service interval for the gear oil on a generally street driven car that will likely see parking lot autocrosses and maybe some lapping days?

Brian W.
02-27-2005, 05:13 PM
Carbon diff Zilvia price is $1365.00 shipped. Oil change interval is 2-3 times a year... depending on how much you drive it. if you daily drive it and beat it up alot id say 4-5 times a year or every 2 oil(engine) changes.

04-11-2005, 03:18 PM
hey brian,

i have already decided on a 1.5 way but not sure if i should go for carbon or deftforce. i road race and drift, what do you suggest?

Brian W.
04-11-2005, 04:08 PM
For drifting you would want a 2.0 way in most cases as you are on and off throttle and the 2.0 way will keeo the wheels spinning on both acceleration and deceleration.

I personally do alot of Grip driving in my car and some drift. I chose the Carbon for its smooth engagement so the car does not upset when entering and exiting turns. I prefer the 2.0 way as my driving style incorporates alot of late braking and trail braking. Ive driven both and just feel more comfortable with the light understeer characteristics of the 2.0 way conifguration.

Late,

Daniel,

The 2 way isnt more "aggressive" per say then a 1.5way LSD. It will really just cause a bit of understeer. I have the Carbon 2.0 way in my personal car, and drive it on the street daily. Its amazing. If you do autocross and gymkana type of driving, you might want a 1.5 way. IT really depends on your driving style more then anything. Have you had experience with a 2.0 way that makes it aggressive for you? Just wondering because the Carbon LSD is a whole different breed of diffs.

R33GTS-T
05-05-2005, 07:08 AM
i haven't had any experience with a Carbon 2 way......my only 2 way experience is with a steel 2 way......the reason i say more aggressive is b/c it has full locking capabilities during deceleration....and i don't necessarily think i would want that for daily use.....my car is going to be driven everyday including during the winter time.......also.......i do take part in a good number of autox events as well as HPDE events and I think that a 1.5 way would be better for my driving style......which is based more on a FWD platform since that is all i've had up until this point

are you able to get a Carbon 1.5way for my car?

Late,
Daniel

Brian W.
05-05-2005, 02:40 PM

The ATS Carbon 1.5 LSD for R33 GTS Type M Model is $1224.00 shipped in the US48.

well, now i'll be starting a new job as a full-time apprentice mechanic this summer, as well as going to school for an associate's in automotive technology in the fall. so since i'll be making some bank i have decided its about time i start roadcourse preping my car. from what i can see the carbon 2.0 way appears to be the best for my application, since i will be doing autox, drifting, and eventually move on to roadcourse. what's the current price on the carbon 2.0 way? i will begin getting funds together, and i would like to have one purchased before the end of the summer.

may be interested in a lsd soon, for roadrace & autoX. I'd like an lsd than locks gradually and predictably. Unfortunately the ats carbon and quaife are out of my price range. Would you suggest the deftforce 1.5 or the cusco rs 1.5 (which you also sell)? tia!

Brian W.
10-08-2005, 03:57 PM
honestly, for the driving you describe... id get the Carbon.... i guarentee you wont be disapointed... and its characteristics cannot be matched by any other LSD. Just save up the extra cash and get the LSD you want.... then you wont have any regrets. But if you really couldnt get the extra cash for some reason id go with an ATS Metal LSD... its less aggressive then the Deftforce.
