trackpig Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi all, I have used the Z on track and have often thought the standard diff could do with a bit more lock up to help get the power down out of tighter corners. I am not talking about fitting aftermarket diffs or welding the diff, I want the car to be usable on the road and track. I came across a thread that details the process of adding a shim to a viscous diff to help transmit more drive to the wheel with more grip. http://zilvia.net/f/s-chassis/200226-sh ... -vlsd.html Any info, experience or views?

docwra Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Never run a shimmed diff myself but know people who have, it definitely works if you get it done properly. TBH I find my diff locks pretty hard, Id probably only consider replacing it with a plated diff if I was looking to upgrade personally as its then 100% predictable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hmm let us know how you get on if you do! Thinking of taking my zed drifting so might well consider adding a shim for more diff lock up myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
