Osakakev Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi I imported a 350z last year and apparently it has a 3 way hydraulic diff... My mechanic thinks it's for drifting but didn't know anymore than that. I want to change the oil but no idea what I should use. It's also my daily so not sure it's a good thing to have or if I should swop it out for a standard one. It locks at low speeds (assume that's what it's supposed to do) and clunks when turning at slow speed. I've attached some pictures, is it possible to identify it from them? Thank you in advance Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) No way to tell from those pictures, the diff is inside the casing but by the sound of it its a 1.5 or 2 way plate diff, probably Kaaz if you can feel it clunking. If you dont drift or track the car then you might as well swap it out for something a bit more user friendly, you should recover a few hundred quid out of it too if it is a plate type ETA that diff oil cooler is pretty pointless unless youre drifting too, probably some more money there if you sell on Edited April 22, 2021 by docwra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 No idea about the diff, but have to say the underside of your car looks remarkably rust-free - no doubt an advantage buying an import and in turn a £saver for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see if I can get someone to look at it, hopefully it's a straight swop to a standard diff. Yeah think the diff cooler is quite expensive so will likely take that off when switching the diff.

Yeah that was the main reason I went for a fresh import. It was getting rust proofed in the pictures so hopefully stays that way for a long time!
