Quick LJ, you've gone off half cocked here.far out no need to go overboard , i wont be calculating if i have enough fuel to get the moon or not, 21 kg is 21 kg,
If you dont need a 9inch, hauling around another 20kg is an unnecessary use of energy and production of CO2......as well as the extra friction that is caused bythe 9inch.��
if you busted 2 diffs a year and it cost $95 each tow total $190+repair cost each time, would you save that in fuel a year with a diff that weighs 20kg less i dont think so, your working on a false economy devils
? You were the one that claimed you couldnt notice 20liters of fuel slopping around . I didnt want to create a mountain out of a molehill over the fact that 20 liters of fuel will only weigh 14.8kg, just a small point for you to consider which has detracted from the point you were making. (It is a bigger % difference than the mass of the 9inch to the banjo). It is quite common that most people assume that all liquids have the same density as water........20 liters of lpg will only weigh 10.2kg......worth considering.21kg is 21kg
I agree with your point about false economy, however, you have read something else into what I wrote.
Cost in $ was never mentioned.If you dont need a 9inch, hauling around another 20kg is an unnecessary use of energy and production of CO2......as well as the extra friction that is caused bythe 9inch
I wont be busting any banjo's or salisburys this year or the next...........they can last "forever" with sensible use.........don't think a 9 inch is going to be a good economic decision here.

I have a 9inch ready to go in my Torry and i cant wait to put it in. I must say just moving it around the garage i can tell its at least the 21kg heavier! and when you drop it on your foot you notice it as well!
I believe that 20kgs is a very insignificant weight to gain or loose in a car. i know they say that everything counts. But as many others have said, they have not really noticed any real power or handling differences when it comes to the extra 21kgs
if you are a bit of a fatty loose 21kg then put a 9inch in! and you wont even notice if there is any difference in anything!

This time I'm using a B/W.... my track car runs one... while it's not making mega HP it is under alot of strain and for a lot longer peiod of time. The only prob that I have had with it is the limo is not as good as it should be, but it was second hand when I got it and just threw it in......
I'm in the process of building another one for my little side prodject To gether both B/W diffs would owe me less than $250! So What I'm getting at is the B/W is a ALOT cheaper and common than the 9 inch..
(why do I always end up typing an epic story every time I want to make a quick comment!!!! )

Hmm, nothing intended to be of humour there, a subtle message perhaps, but you�ve played and missed again(tried to hit me out of the park), best let them go through to the keeper in future, even if it looks like a loose ball(cloo).only thing thats lost around here is your sense of humourSorry ^, useless facts clouding the mist again, hope you didn't "loose" the thread of things.

never has a truer word been spokenI went for the B/W as I am running a full spool with 28 spline axles ..it is about $1000 cheaper than the Flaud...heaps lighter and every Skylines got one...we have ..tonight actually..600HP+ sprintcars running them and no one has broken one yet..I rest my point...as said earlier...I have run the banjo LSD in the LC 308 race car and have not had a wimper out of it yet...I dont abuse it..I DRIVE it sensibly and still get results....there in is the difference.. A 9" makes no difference if you drive in a straight line over 400M...its the corners/handling thing where it all comes unstuck.

this is all quite funny really, i didn't expect such a drama over all this i don't know why some people seem so threatened by other people choosing to go 9in its up to them, i mearly posted the weights so people could make up their own mind if its worth it for them going 9inch or B/W or banjo, i have not once knocked the B/W diffs i think they are great don't get me wrong, but for the money the 9in worked out best for me at $1100 3.5 gears,rebuilt lsd, romac steel hat,28spline axles, ARP 1/2in race studs etc. i couldn't get a B/W built that strong for the same money. im also into drags and ratio changes are much much easier. so there you go rorym ive made my decision and you've made yours simple. if you dont like 9in thats fine but you wont change my mind thanks anyway.your into roundies, im into drags.im not saying anyone has to run a 9in ,all ive said is that it suits my application for what i want to do, simple.
there are horses for courses, live and let live i say make up your own minds. and devils you need to chillout a bit dude theres enough professors on here already, develop a sense of humor man. i still think it quite funny lol.

Exactly ...Horses for courses..It suits your application but not mine..the point I was trying to make. (Still havent worked out how to do the bloody quote thing!)

On the point of Unsprung mass. Rory and 1QuickLJ have brought up good points. I'm sure all have noticed that 9" are more suited to Drag racing (even if a lot of VL's Vn's etc. still use the stock B/W diff). However most of those blow up and they swap for a 9".
B/W's are starting to become readily available with replacement parts, however they're not cheap like 9" parts. Kaaz make a good mechanical LSD and you can also get billet axles. And it has been noted by 1QuickLJ that you can't get the same strength needed for drag racing for the same price going the B/W route.
Just to add, (I don't know the exact figure) but unsprung weight becomes multiplied under braking, turning. So 21kgs (or 10kg(?) B/W to 9") may become 50 or 100. <Attack me on the figure it was a guess>
This is a good thread...

Who would actually want to need to drive their car sensibly??I have run the banjo LSD in the LC 308 race car and have not had a wimper out of it yet...I dont abuse it..I DRIVE it sensibly and still get results....
I certainly don't. I enjoy the fact that if I ever want to abuse my diff, I can.
I can't stand weak driveline components!

played and missed what?lol. devils this is not a game, maybe it is in your head (brainiac), its just a comparison in weight of the 2 diffs thats it, quite simple really. then you come along and try and get technical with a heap of B/S that really doesn't apply or matter. the fuel weight thing was a good point you made but you went over the top on the rest. thats what gets my back up, you try and impress people with hi tech B/S, everybody else can talk in layman's terms on here and all made valid points, i thank everybody for their imput, but you just seem to take it all way too far on just about every topic on this forum. we are torana lovers on here discussing related matters. not a bunch of white coats trying to make matters more technical than they have to be. . be real man chilloutHmm, nothing intended to be of humour there, a subtle message perhaps, but you�ve played and missed again(tried to hit me out of the park), best let them go through to the keeper in future, even if it looks like a loose ball(cloo).
