2 way differential ?
Hi everyone,
When I bought the car it already came with a 2-way differential, but weird enough that car was built for grip :scratch: As far as I know, isn't 2 way differential supposed to be mainly for drift? I'm not sure which way to go, as I don't drift at all, I prefer grip much more, should I go back to 1 way, or is 2 way any good for grip ? Thanks. |
I would just drive it and see how it drives.
I auto-xed a friends S14 that had a KAAZ and I would have sworn it was 1.5way, but he said it was 2 way. That thing was hooked up like it was on rails- not what I was expecting from a 400rhwp RB powered S14 on skinny 255/4017s. |

First time driving a 2 way differential car (specially when used to drive an RX8 and a GT-R), I guess experience comes with errors...I'll see how it goes, probably needs to have gentle foot when going out of corner. |

because the 2 way locks both wheels in situ which is why it's a popular choice for drifters. If your a grip driver go with a 1.5 way....the smooth control accelerating within and out of a corner is lush... hated my old 2 way, touching the gas with the steering slightly on broke the back end out most times, was a pain on the track. Went to an is giken 1.5 way and on the track it's such a dream, smoother acceleration out of corners, much more predictable handling than the old setup.

you cant go wrong with a OS giken 1.5 way diff, best diff made period. no harsh clunking on the street and consistent dependable performance when pushed at the "track" :icon_tup:

as for the diff, I love mine. Friggin amazing and silent too. If you do go OS make sure you use their oil.....read many forums about a noisy diff and all turned out to be they were using different oils that the OS specific one. |
