Sean 83ZXT Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 He's welding the spider gears (I believe?) to turn an Open diff into a 2-wheel rubber layer. My only reservation to that is what does that do to turning and driveability? LSD's open on a turn using clutches or a Quaife type setup.

Guest Anonymous Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Welding the spiders together is not beneficial if your after handling, or good tyre wear. I've had a few mates that have welded them for street/strip use and none have kept them in for more than a month. If its your daily driver you soon get sick of the screechig around every corner (real prob if you dont want any attention from the cops)and the greatly increased turning circle (prick for doing U turns), but its good for a cheap fix if you've got traction probs at the drags, just consider the pros and cons carefully first and make sure you've got another open diff spare cause one way or another you'll end up needing it.

BLKMGK Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Normal rears let one wheel turn more slowly when turning, a spool or welded diff will not allow this. You'll notice it most in parking lots where tight turns are needed and the rear forces the tires to chirp as you make tight turns. When the two tires are connected solidly like that the tire rather than the rear must slip in order to turn. This is why driving in the rain and tire wear is an issue...
