lsd?

 

no idea what language this is.

 

lol

 

No. You dont have a lsd at all, none of the Z's come with a 2 way. They come with a vsld unless its a nismo and the base has an open diff. Search buddy. Youre welcome though.

 

+1. In fact, there are zero cars currently sold that come with a 2-way diff.

 

except the Honda Civic Type R. that has a two way diff. on the rear solid axle.

 

Maybe he is talking about both his pitching & catching skills, you know 2 way or bi. Either way thak God for NewBS

 

period, commas, and other such punctuation are very helpful tools in helping others understand WHAT THE HELL YOUR SAYING.

 

well, in reality ALL differentials are 'two' way, right? we can back up and go forward.

he did not specify a locking differential

ok I am done (;{P)

 

YEAH

 

you old farts

 

Welcome. Just a note for future reference: If you want to be taken seriously write like an adult. This is not mytsx.com.

 

yeah it helps to use commas and periods when writing sentences.

 

PROPER ENGLISH LIKE USING "YOU'RE" not "YOUR", AND A CAPITAL "P" FOR 'PERIOD', MAKES IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND TOO !!

/end caps.

 

Sy Wat?

 

To bad 9-10 people on all forums don't use them or know how to?

 

yup, it's to bad.

 

Are you saying no Z's have an lsd? I coulda sworn my 04 touring had one..Or am I way off subject?

 

VSLD operates in acceleration and in braking, though given how it works and how little it impacts the performance envelope it's kind of a mute point in the end.

I've posted the following before,

The VLSD unit consists of stacks of thin plates with holes or slots, all suspended in a special silicone fluid. They have no clutches to wear out, and locking characteristics can theoretically be changed by varying fluid viscosity. Generally, however, these units are non-serviceable, and require no special maintenance. As the differential spins, the plates shear the fluid up to a point, after which the fluid provides some resistance to shear, allowing 15-25% torque transfer to the other wheel. The downside is that these units don't act like a limited slip until one wheel actually starts slipping (i.e., they don't prevent slippage), which means the VLSD action often kicks in after you've already exited the corner. Compared to the proactive nature of the Torsen LSDs, the VLSDs are reactive units. They do not prevent slippage, they merely sense differences in rotation, not torque. They also don't allow for very much torque transfer, compared to mechanical or clutch-pack LSDs. They do still work well for starting from a dead stop in slippery conditions. It is important to note that VLSDs locking characteristics occur both during acceleration AND braking, as it can't tell the difference between the two, but merely reacts to the rotational speed differences between the two drive wheels.

 

I think it may also be worth noting that the fluid used in VLSD looses it's resistance sheering over time. Once that happens, the differential starts acting like an open differential. As mentioned before, since the unit is not serviceable and you can't just swap out the fluid, cars with considerable mileage that have the VLSD are actually riding with an open diff.
