TBDevelopments Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 chris you ever come across any updated diffs for the supra that are factory quiet but give a performance upgrade to grip? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yes, the OS Giken are quiet, and totally BRILLIANT LSD's, very clever design, full parts back up, too. Break something in a TRD and you can't buy spares. Break *ANYTHING* in a Giken and they'll sell a washer to a new casing. I even bought one for my own car.

TBDevelopments Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ah ok great, what kind of LSD are they? so feedback from a previous owner they are just as quiet as standard (don't know its there) but what kind of noticeable gains have you seen from it? Tim ps, sorry to go off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Used mine everyday. Running sport tyres with very little tread but coped really well. Only once did i have to reverse up a road rather than going forward to get traction..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) yeah works the same as standard, with any grip no matter how small it'll do its job and bias the power out through a ratio to the other wheel to power both, but when on snow or ice it can't work as it should because there is no grip at all on one or both wheels so just runs like an normal NON LSD open diff. Didn't know quaife made diffs for the 6psd supra, there a good road going diff Tim Interesting that, cheers for the explanation bud I don't think they do, I had one in my track car Corsa before my red or grey supra's cracking bit if kit for the money! Interesting about the giken diff, I've never considered one in the supra for the fear of making it more tail happy, however if they do induce more exit grip then its deffinately on the consideration list!

David P Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) The fuel light is on and I was suspecting that the lack of weight at the back had found the limit of the winter tyres. A bit of under-steer, then for every bit of forwards the back went a little bit sideways, so I picked a new line and went in on half-handbrake. Then discovered that climbing a glacier was cause of the jiggery parkery. Edited January 26, 2013 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Parked it in snow drift and when I came back found it in lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
