vlsd locked up?

[Slikk Logic]

so i jus shimmed a junkyard vlsd .very slightly jus a .80..and then installed it into my s14 which had a open diff..my prob is the dam thing is acting lyk a welded diff right now.skipping round turns..i did figure 8s n then jus started doint dounts and drifts still locked all night wtf.help!

[Slikk Logic]

even by hand when i 1st got it.i couldnt turn it by hand oppisite which i thought was normal and if u pop the longer side of the axle out the spider gears flow freely lyk a open diff

[lflkajfj12123]

You do realize that shimming a VLSD results in it acting like a welded/2way diff?

I would just leave it and learn to love/drive with a 2way. You did something cheap... what did you expect.

[XxCAPTAINxX]

^^true dat homeboy.
cheap shit gets you shitty results. learn to drive it or ditch it and spend some real skrilla.

[slideslidegnarslide]

its prolly acting like a 2 way. i have a nismo 2 way and pretty much any time i turn forward or reverse under 10mph my shits locked. just deal with it

[ILoveMyRHS13]

What? 2 ways lock when a certain amount of torque is applied, not how fast you're going.

[slideslidegnarslide]

i know. it just seems people notice it more when they are going slow and its hopping. sorry

[ILoveMyRHS13]

i know. it just seems people notice it more when they are going slow and its hopping. sorry
I know exactly what you mean, haha. I have a Tomei and it's annoying... I've had people come up to me in parking lots and tell me my car is broken. Usually when you're going that slow you're not applying enough torque to lock it, hence why you notice it.

I still don't know how I feel about my 2 way. My welded made a LOT less noise.

[slideslidegnarslide]

its kinda annoying but i dont daily drive my car. but if i did have to daily it. i would still rock it. its just a matter of getting used to it. it slides so nicccce

It's because your car has fucking zebra stripes painted on the side and looks like aids. Not your diff.

[3 Beam S13]

I just welded my diff.. and it hops like crazy under 5 mph. It is soo annoying cause it just turned into my daily.So the question is if i need it as my daily aswell and a 2-way acts exactly the same way.. then what would be the best for daily and track?? Vlsd, 1-way, 1 1/2-way? any suggestions?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

There is NO truth to it, it's never been confirmed or never been denied, I was simply saying it's an urban myth. No need to get so upset. :)

Oh, and yeah, it's got zebra striped so what? I like it. I forgot it takes Type X and stock ass SE alloys to be cool anymore. God forbid someone do something different to their own car. :cj:

[slideslidegnarslide]

dude if you wanna save money just grab an open diff swap them for track use. but other than that i only have ever had an open and 2 way so im not good for opinions

I've daily driven both a welded and a 2 way and they're equally annoying. If you plan on drifting at all you need a welded or aftermarket clutch type diff, no questions asked. You're trying to turn a 20 year old econo-shit-box into something that sees the track, you're going to have to sacrifice some comfort.

You kidding? People have been shimming VLSD for years. Before you even had your license, they act like a welded. There is no urban myth for how mechanical parts work. End of story.

I don't know what kind of JAB that is supposed to be... you have stock wheels and drive around/on the track like that. I owned that car over a year ago and had R33 gtr wheels for it but never put them on. You think that is my flagship car or something?

Nothing wrong with doing something different... but everything you're doing is. Buy wheels for your car and paint it something nice and presentable. Not "HEY! Look at my car its ugly AND it only cost me a can of spray paint." Screams brokeass peasant to me.

Oh and YO sacrifice some money to make your car nice before spending more at the track driving around your 20 year old econo-shit-box.

Simply shimming a viscous is NOT going to lock it like a welded; end of story.

And YES I slide on Z32 wheels because I lack power - on purpose. I'd rather get the setup of the car down before I add power. There's no point of having a sweet looking car that's all painted if you're just going to go out and suck and hit shit. I don't understand everyone's obsession with being like Japan thinking you have to have some super JDM sweet looking car to drift. I've seen plenty of guys out at the track with pretty cars and the SUCK DICK at driving; it's hilarious. My car is simply a learning tool and there to have fun; not to please other people. Once I'm better at driving, I'll get a new car and make it look pretty so I don't make an ass of myself. There's no sense in spending tons of money on something you're just going to learn on and put into a wall. :l101:

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fuck you both arguing...it all depends on how thick the shims, will dictate on how aggressively the vlsd will act. Throw some 1.0 or even 1.2mm and that shit will more than likely act like a solid axle.

[datsunnazi]

mine is locked... i put 2 - .8mm shims plus the stock one. it's LOCKED. but i can just take them out if it really starts to bother me...

[Slikk Logic]

well i cant tell at high speeds.but its clearly doin it on streets and in lots..i lookd at the axles and they dnt seam to have moved one bit since the install. i only but 1 .8 ontop of the orignal.i heard that should make it a fckn spooled diff

[nathanong87]

you can always do this

No shit? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused:


THE FUCK you think I didn't know that? Either way shimming a VLSD is shitty and cheap as hell so I feel no sympathy for OP that his diff is fully locked rather than on/off like he desires.

[wh0aitznic0]

Lol welded would have been more cost effective and predictable.

[Slikk Logic]

but a .8 shim shouldnt lock it up.i mean the axles havent moved the slightest bit from wen i installed it..
and im not askn for ur fckn sympathy i wanna kno if the viscous side gear coupling siezes up cuz i doubt that 1 small extra shim does that much even wen cold.wit the axels half installed it works freely lyk a open diff

[SoSideways]

What the fuck do you mean your axles haven't moved one bit?

You mean your shit is fucking seized?

And don't start threads in different forums asking the same shit.

y u mad tho?

is it cuz u typ lyk dis?

[nismoracingsx]

y u mad tho?

is it cuz u typ lyk dis?

sig'd :yum:

[Slikk Logic]

lol funny guy^
the whole diff seems siezed cuz i installed it with the output shafts in the same place..its hard to explain wat i mean. but the axles are always in the same spot.realative to each other that is.. kinda easier shown then explained lol

[pacotaco345]

deal with it.. have some fun in life.. make people look at you weird.. have your car scrape on speedbumps.. either let your tires chirp or clutchkick around u-turns.. if your diff doesn't make weird noises something else in your car will, half of these things are 20 years old lol get used to things creaking. its part of owning a low/fun/old/drift car

[veeates36]

Nothin' to add.. Maybe just that this is hilarious thread. Lol

[hOngsterr]

post a pic or lies.

Um.

That's what happens when you shim a VLSD.

You put a shit ton of preload on the viscous unit that it pretty much turns into a locked diff.

Your shit is not seized, it's just locked now.

If you expected anything less, you probably should have just kept the VLSD how it was.

[Csomme]

LMAO



<3 you Soap

[Wookie384]

so i jus shimmed a junkyard vlsd .very slightly jus a .80..and then installed it into my s14 which had a open diff..my prob is the dam thing is acting lyk a welded diff right now.skipping round turns..i did figure 8s n then jus started doint dounts and drifts still locked all night wtf.help!

What was your reasoning to shimming it? What was your intended goal? Do you know how to properly adjust/service differentials? If you want it to not be locked 100% of the time take out the damn shim.

If you want a "Hardcore"/"Mad JDM tyte yo" diff get the 2 way/or weld a diff and put up with how its going to be annoying when you daily it. If you want a daily drivable diff that isn't going to annoy the shit out of you get a 1.5 way. If you're too broke to afford an aftermarket diff just put the VLSD back to the way it was and leave it that way... Just my $0.02

[lflkajfj12123]

^ ding ding ding

[Slikk Logic]

i got the money but i rather save for a house right now..n not spend thousands ona diff.later i will but jus not smart spending right now.it jus my daily cuz i spent too much into a turbo civic which jus sits in the garage right now cuzi cant daily it anymore.but yea i wanted a 1.5 way effect..so that shim has a effect even wen the diff is cold? as in the viscous fluid isnt expanded yet

[Slikk Logic]

and yes i kno how to properly serivce anything in a car..i work at nissan.but i nvr done these viscous type lsd modifications..so i dnt understand it too much lol

[lflkajfj12123]

lol you can afford a house but not a diff?

something smells fishy

[Weedm]

perhaps if you add tartar sauce to the diff it wont lock up as much anymore

[SoSideways]

lol you can afford a house but not a diff?

He lives in Jersey, BRAH.

[XxCAPTAINxX]

why is this thread still going on. he isnt going to get it, just look at his spelling. i highly doubt he works at nissan or is going to buy a house. probably just a broke ass fanboy kid. Now either remove shims for a better daily driving car, or leave them in and deal with the sounds it makes. its not a fucking lamborghini that shit is going to make noise.

[Slikk Logic]

oo people got jokes.stop being a dickhead.i aint broke belive that.bring ur car to rt22 nissan. i didnt say can afford a house..im saven for it.. not the point though. and wtf my spelling gotta do with anything? i already graduated from college in case u need a fckn picture of that shit too.ahh fuck this.. nobody gonna answer the question

[Slikk Logic]

btw captain bitchass fuck u

yeah dude it was answered multiple times. no need to get butt hurt about it. you dont need to prove shit to anyone. do what you want with the info given its your car. Also the fact that your not listening to the answers people are giving you makes it seem like your a ignorent kid. calm down take a valium and let the answers you have been seeking sink in.
bye bye now hope you had a good time

p.s. how could a picture of you graduating college prove you actually did.
here is a picture of someone graduating i found it on google. It must be me cause i have a picture, pictures and the internet never lie.

You must have failed your English class more than once, seeing as your reading comprehension is about as good as a two year old's.

[$nicklefritz]

b4 u put that shit in, put the diff together get an impact gun and just wail on that m-fing 27 mm bolt clock wize see if it budges , ???? if not you better post on the wtb threads

you guys like to piss people off right? why would i care about perfect English on a forum. what are you a teacher or somthing.relax

Proper(now i say proper not perfect) grammar helps you communicate to others better, and the best way to get anything done in life is with proper communication.

[sickrbs14]

can ya tell me if a 1.5 is as good for drifting as a 2 way
which would be the best for both worlds (daily and drift)? 1.5?

[$nicklefritz]

to answer yur question duncansville 1.5 is the diff of choice for track and dd,
just as noisey tho

[sickrbs14]

thanks new york but she wont lock up

[SoSideways]

thanks new york but she wont lock up

What the fuck are you babbling about?

This isn't even the thread to ask about diffs. This is a thread where some kid that fails at life is trying to figure out why his viscous diff is now acting like a welded diff, after he shimmed it.

[sickrbs14]

woah woah woahhh wang chung wanna be calm yourself i know he fucked up so im gonna make the best out of this thread
im asking if a 1.5 diff would lock up on daily uses and if you dont have any experience with a 1.5 wanna be jap boy back the fuck up and dont say shit
ya think ya a badass bashing random guys over the internet?

You don't even know how a 1.5 way LSD operates and you're criticizing him.

Make the best of this thread and LOG OFF.

[sickrbs14]

woah badass everybody better watch themselves on zilvia, its nothing but bad asses, vigilantes, mass murders and in general people you dont wanna fuck with over the internet these guys will metaphorically fuck your day up!!!
haha pussys :mephfawk:

[$nicklefritz]

just to make sure we are all on the same page:repostDifferent in 1way, 1.5way, & 2way:

1 way - LSD activates only when you are accelerating.

2 way - LSD activates when you are accelerating and decelerating.

1.5 way - LSD activates when you are accelerating and actives half when you are decelerating.

with that being said maybe we should ?? :lockd: this thread up
