Weld Locd version 3 Diff special

[blu808]

Have another batch of weld locd version 3 diffs ready to go. I am located in san jose and you are welcome to pick up. These are warrantied against breaking for 3 years, with free replacement.

Here is the pricing strucure.

$75 with your old diff.

Your core must be an open diff, cannot weld an lsd.

This is for a complete exchange of the whole pumpkin.

Please contact me for more info.

[TheSparo]

so this means that going around any corner, the inside wheel will always spin?
how much would shipping be to 37343

[blu808]

You have to be more specific. I have allready proven the ability of the weld locd here in ca. The diff is allways locd. I need open diffs as an exchange so i can weld them

[Buffalo Daughter]

hey luke i got a question, what happens if the weld happens to break? does it just revert back to open diff and driveable still or will i just be shit out of luck if the weld breaks?Also how long does it take to get this done? i live on the east side of san jo and was considering your offer since i can't get my lsd just yet. This would also be on a s14 SE 95.

Can you post back a reply here and email me at [email protected]

If the welds brake the diff is toast. My diff is welded (too poor for lsd) but i put a shit load of weld in it.

[Buffalo Daughter]

yeha i was already thinking of keeping my original as a backup just in case. I'll prolly get one and keep the stock as a back up, yeah. What do you have to do to the rearend to make it more reinforced? Bushing's of course but is that it?

[blu808]

The welds will never break. If it does i will give you a new diff for free.

I guarantee it.

[sr20pwrdSiLvIa]

These diffs are the shit, Luke put his welded diff out of his old S13 in my Silvia, The welds are very strong, believe me it wont break...

93' Tri Beam Sil
Super Weld Lock Version 3

[blu808]

Its all about the Super Weld LocD Version 3

[stock4door]

If I have a Version 2 can I upgrade to a Version 3 for free?

[TheSparo]

what i mean is that with this diff you are selling, will i incur wheelspin at every corner regardless of speed.
basically will both wheels move at the same speed the whole time?
is it daily driver friendly?

[thx247]

yes both wheels spin at the same speed 24/7.

Everyone will know you are serious when you pull into a parking lot..."scuff scuff scuff scuff"

[igotswansons]

damnit.. too bad i live in kansas!!! anyways, ive heard these are noisy and rough.. is that true??

[blu808]

Stock 4 door: Yes Danny you can upgrade for free. lol

Yes both wheels are allways locked together. Also it is not any worse than a kaaz.
Luke

[91rusty240sx]

hopefully youll have one for me by the time i finish up my damn project, i really wanna try the Weld Locd version 3 Diff special...so save one for me!!!

[CreAziaN]

damnit.. too bad i live in kansas!!! anyways, ive heard these are noisy and rough.. is that true??


also wanted to know if these are noisy and rough. Is it daily-driver friendly? Also, are there any advantages or disadvantages over a VLSD or clutch LSD? Thanks Luke

[sr20pwrdSiLvIa]

Yes there are advantages, these diffs are very predictable, they are locked all the time, unlike VLSD, the Weld Lock Version 3 is most comparable to the Kazz 2way L.S.D as far as noise and perfomance, the Weld Lock Version 3 is just not ridiculously expensive like the Kazz is...

93' Tri Beam SiL
SUPER Weld Lock Version 3 equipped

[blu808]

yup. That about sums it up.

Now who wants one

[CreAziaN]

im in. I have an open diff, so it's 75 dollars right? Do you install it as well since I don't really know how I'd get there without a diff on my car and I dont know how to get back without a diff ;)

[blu808]

hmm, No 75 is just for the diff. If you want i can install it for you for $100. more. Let me know.


Luke

[CreAziaN]

so im gonna have to take out my diff, take another car there, and then trade diffs?

[Andrew Bohan]

unless you wanna hop on the bus with your diff

[CreAziaN]

unless you wanna hop on the bus with your diff

har har :hahano:
haha just kidding andrew

[blu808]

Or you can bring me a an open diff to weld. Or i can charge you $175 give you the diff. When you bring me back your stock one then you would get your $100 back.

Luke.

Come on. Is anyone hard core enough to weld their shit like us?

[guillermo corro]

i think that the shiping cost will be high but, i'm interested, cause a locked diff would be greeat,, let me know the weight and aproz size to check with fedex or somthing the price,, or if you can check,,, 78539 thanks,,

luke we need to do this next week, fo sho...oh and play with my new coilovers too.

[blu808]

ok no problem

[Drunk Bastard]

k, ill call ya.

[n2motorsports]

If these act like 2-ways, they must be hell to drive in rain? I really want one but safety is a concern in wet weather.

[Demik]

^^^^^^^^^^ lol

[knghtryde]

I thought all the S14 SE models came with vlsd stock. I'm not sure, it's just an inquiry.

[CoasTek240]

sounds like i might have to ship you a spare diff i have laying around....
would you do that?

[guillermo corro]

If these act like 2-ways, they must be hell to drive in rain? I really want one but safety is a concern in wet weather.


yea, everyone want one but,, he never reply, .... lol

:hyper:

[blu808]

I reply. Anyways, Se 240s s14 anyways usually come with lsd, I am not able to weld a lsd so ya need to send me an open one.

Luke

[nokuntrol]

Luke, Can we do this when we do my 5-speed conversion?
I'm still waiting for 1 clutch line to come in from Nissan.

[blu808]

yea no problem

[SR PwrdVA]

yea no problem

Hey man, are you willing to ship? I live in VA, 23502, thanx.

[SHIFTrl240]

yeah im kinda interested too. what is the normal shipping rate to the east coast?

[blu808]

Its about 50 bucks. Willing to ship but onl with core charge. I am running out of diffs. lol

[SR PwrdVA]

how bad to these diffs chirp in turns...i don't mind the chirp but does it bounce and all too?

[blu808]

It isn't that bad, the car reacts very similar to a 2-way. Just because the rear wheels are locked it doesnt mean the car will instantly spin. The diff is very predictable.

[s14slide]

If these act like 2-ways, they must be hell to drive in rain? I really want one but safety is a concern in wet weather.

what a joke, I'm on my second 2 way and the car is much more predictable than w/ an open diff. I've now been in both the s13 and s14 chassis in the rain(s14 in the snow also), both w/ 2ways, and I'd never go back to an open diff for 'safety' reasons. If your really concerned about steppin the back end out, 1. don't drift, or 2. don't have a ham for an appendage when you step on the brakes or the accelerator. Oh, I've also been blessed to drive w/ both the USDM and JDM motors, and both are easily controlable.

[blu808]

Thank you for gracing us with your extensive knowledge of drifting. Incase you didnt notice its an open diff that is welded solid. And dont try telling me a kazz is more predictable. I have had a kaaz, cusco, nismo, and vlsd diff in everything from an mr2, z32, s13, s14 and a welded diff is way more predictable, same lockup feeling but you are never wondering when it will lock.


Have fun rebuilding your diff.ha

Alright buddy, chill out, I'm not doggin the welded diff. In fact, I'm all for them if that's what you want to do. I was referring to the differences in a locking type diff (clutch/welded/whatever) to an open diff and "it's" unpredictability in the wet. As per the guy that I quoted, so ease up champ.

[Bolo]

What are the specs on the welder you're using... MIG, TIG, ARC?

[BobbyBoy]

Those would probably be trade secrets! You all know the diffs are welded shut using JB weld... :hahano:

[anthony240]

so for $75, I give you my open diff, and you give me a welded diff? pumpkin for pumpkin? DEAL! :D you guys open on Sundays?

[smellslikecurry]

ya mang ull get pwn3d in the rain yo, usdm tyte welded diffs + rain = some crazy dori dori action

[blu808]

Pumpkin for pumpkin, thats correct. Anyways, I am doing these out of the shop and out of my house so give me a call and we can do these whenever you would like.

408-515-9598

[BobbyBoy]

Just got back from a hard drive with the welded and felt I had to post because I dont think the car could feel more connected and predictable without this diff. Its completely at home in extreme driving condtions.

[curbsurfer]

locked diff is for drag racers only

trying to drift in a locked diff wroks ok sometimes but can cause understeer. with a 2-way, you can push the clutch in and "unlock" it, you can do that with a weld

you will also kill tires quickly just driving around town

also, what if your car breaks down ? pushing a car with a locked diff is next to impossible if you have to turn

[420sx]

^ thats why its 75$.

[91rusty240sx]

Hey Luke, are you gonna be in so cali anytime soon? i dont think i could make the drive...haha. but if you ever come down to LA, bring a weld diff and ill buy it from you.

[anthony240]

heh, i spoke too soon, bought a J30 VLSD on a whim :D

I can drift just fine with a welded diff. I will never run another lsd in any of my drift cars, Just welded.

[sr240mike]

The weld-lok diffs are awesome. My friends car has one and its the easiest thing to drift now. Hey luke I have 2 open diffs if you need some cores. I was gonna get em welded but its too hardcore for my daily driver.

[TurDz]

I just had to throw this up. I have an S14 SE w/ open diff. I've been doing Auto-X lately. How does this affect performance w/ that kind of activity? I'm pretty interested. This ver.3 diff locd seems really economical and effective, don't see why more people aren't doing this.

[BobbyBoy]

There are a lot of internet only racers and drifters on the board, so the puss factor is high. Truth is people are raggin on the diff because they have no clue. I drive my welded to work and school eveyday, only thing killing my tires are drift days.

[Buffalo Daughter]

i was hoping to call you sometime tommorra or tues. luke if you got time for me to come by and get a ride along in your car with the weld lock.
I'll try to call you in the morning or set up something before wed's cause thats when i go back to work.

[tew photy]

hows the welded diff handle situations like mountain runs/grip driving? i mostly do that, and some autocross, and while i know the welded diff is good for all out drifting, how does it handle other extreme situations?

[blu808]

SOunds good just give me a call. 408-515-9598

Auto X drifting with a vlsd would be better, the reason being is that auto x is realativly low speed with too much load change to put the power down. If you were gripping on a big track then it would be ok, but the tires wont get enough load on them and will break loose.

Luke

[Drunk Bastard]

Luke, will there be any difficulties putting a s13 diff in my s14? will i need to change out any parts?

[blu808]

The rear plate on the diff needs to be changed. I have one.

[Drunk Bastard]

oh baby. Luke I have the s13 diff in my posetion, Im going to call ya wednesday. WELD LOCD PWNZ.

[gonzoes14k]

Still selling welded diff. I need on for my 97. Whould u ship out to VA?

[infinitexsound]

when is driving a concern for safety, it always is. no matter on the track on the road, or just sitting shotgun.. anyways luke i got some spare open diff's for grabs if u still want to make 100% turnaround. email me if ur intrested.

[stevebsvs]

just called you. I'll be hittin you up in 2 weeks. This sounds great. I'll let my friend with an open diff know about this. Thanks!!!!

[mistert]

im stupid old post it wont let me delete

[jdm538]

are they still available i want one please email me [email protected]

[Spdrules5]

Weld Loc'd Version 3 = Awesome! I've had mine for quite a while, over 6 months I believe. Do you remember Blu808?

I drove up to San Jose from Long Beach, Ca. just to have it done, and drove straight back. IT IS worth doing. I have driven it almost daily since(my SR powered 240 gets better MPG than my big truck!)

It is extremely predictable in that every time I accellerate hard in turns, I can get the back end to come around if I want. If you don't want it to, just drive normal!
Parking lots make the rear tires squeak(barely audible), just like my friends Kaaz 2 way.

Rain is not a problem. I don't have to drive any differently than normal(unless you drive like Rhys Millan 24/7).

I have driven my car many times on long mountain trips with awesome grip!!!!!!!! I seriously thought there would be pushing issues with a welded diff, but NOPE!!! If you are doing SCCA parking lot events where you use mainly 1st and some 2nd gear power, then maybe there would be an issue of pushing(understeer?), but I wouldn't know as I haven't had the chance to participate in such an event.

If you are local to So cal(Long Beach) and you want to go for a ride, email me for availability. [email protected]

Thanks again Blu808 for offering this instaed of haveing to buy super exspensive , have to rebuild, super exspensive aftermarket 2 way.

[pinkpandaslide]

so is this still available? if so im interested and ill pay shipping too..let me know..thanks...

[DJPimpFlex]

yea I want one too.

[007jpang]

shit man... this is a super old thread that all of a sudden came back alive...

check the date of the first post...

but any way i called luke today and he said that to call him back on friday... cause he might have his welder.

until then i'll let you guys know what comes up next.

john

[sr240mike]

That been his story for awhile now. Most welders that are familiar with auto's have welded diffs at some time or another. Open the phone book and call around. Told ya so John, I found a shop that will weld it for you though.

[007jpang]

mike i'll call you tommorrow, cause my friends said his friend is a welder and he said that he could do it for like $30 or something dollars... not sure thought

i got to get some comfirmation...

john

[chlatboy]

blue is pinked so he cant respond right? I think that is how it goes. SO mods, can you unpink him so he can respond. Im interested in one of these things as well.

[maverick27]

yeah chlat ill give it a shot too. maybe we can car pool. since u have 2 cars (lucky SOB!)

[maverick27]

oh and blue808 if u dont get unpinked then email me at [email protected]

[Drunk Bastard]

attention everyone interested in the weld locd diff....
LUKE is pinked and only has access to a coupe topic on this forum. The for sale section is NOT one of them. Please email him at [email protected] . he will have a welder again VERY SHORTLY. He is interested in the service, but since he cant access the for sale section YOU MUST EMAIL HIM.

[email protected]




-Joe, on behalf on Luke

[khoadogg]

bump for this guy cause his buddy helped me out w/ his AAA flatbed once

[chlatboy]

Why was he pinked in the first place!?!?!?!

:down: :down: :down: :down: :down: :down: :down: :down: :down:

[Drunk Bastard]

for uselessly saying "hi" in his posts. example"

" hi Chlatboy :kiss: "

ya, so dont do that. otherwise YOU TOO will get pinked. he's not the only one to get pinked for it. Jeff also got pinked too.

[007jpang]

damn i thought that the people that go pinked were super special... like they were too cool for school.

i always wonder, ' damn how do i make my screen name Pink?'

[Drunk Bastard]

Luke has another welder now, so "Weld Locd" is back in business. Luke has asked me to update this for him cause he is pinked and can't access this section and can't access his PM's. SO DONT PM HIM. If you want your diff welded then either call Luke at 408-515-9598 or email him at [email protected]
