Can you get VL/Commodore 28 spline axles and shorten it to put into the skyline diff? They are pretty much the same right?
That way you save on changing stud pattern if your going to commodore??

to shorten and respline axle cost $120 each so why would you waste your time to get axles re drilled to suit stud pattern that you require.
If your so worried that you are going to twist the splines get a set of mosers or get the axles heat treated.

magna is not the same as ford already looked into that i work at a mistubishi dealership n we have them lying around every were but l300s are the same as falcon stud patternjust cheat and get multi fit (chevy/ford stud pattern) rims, as i believe that skyline stud pattern is the same as ford/magna/chrysler and im sure othersThanx, was wondering if the bearing and bearing/axle retainer plate are the same. Will save me having to respline a commy axle.

i recently got commodore axles shortened and re-splined to fit into the banjo housing so i could run commodore brakes and rims .... there is a fair bit more outer guard to tyre clearance than before ... i didn't measure before but its about 2cm maybe more which all adds up at the end of the day ...
i wish this thread was 4 months more progressed ... i might have done the b/w diff conversion instead!
i think i might have to measure the current track on the torana and see how it compares to the numbers in this thread ... i have a banjo LSD which is fine, but i just don't quite trust the 23 spline axles!

well you will be a great test for it rory.
i was thinking a while back about one of these units, but slightly sceptacle about there ability on the track.
wouldnt the spool be more predictable?
wont the lokka be engaging disengaing through corners if you happen to be on/off the gas for what ever reason? where as the spool is a constant.

Hmmm..sort of Brett...I know where you are coming from..I am told if the front wheels are pointing in the right direction when you get off the gas and it unlocks..all is OK.. spools are good if in a straight line...they also induce..for road racing ..understeer...if you get off the throttle...unless you can re-point the front...it will still induce understeer...the current V8 supercars have adjustable rear suspension...hence the rear camber can help the problem...not so on a LH Torana. I have had a long conversations with several suspension experts...one an ex HDT navigator...no names..Lol!.. but the main point I keep coming back to..is in the old cars..Ala Biante Series and a lot of NC historics, guys are using a Detroit style locker/unlock diff arrangement..It all points to this style of diff locker...I like Mt Cotton which has 190 degree corners...these ..with the 10" slicks, I am sure would screw the diff or snap axles...not so with the locker ...make sense?? its not a big drama..I can change it in an arvo but decided to start with the Lokka...Missus will probably shit herself the first time she drives it but she has my WRX to play in...this is my car..part time for her..

A KAAZ LSD is quite different to a Lokka. The KAAZ uses a cam to increase pressure on the LSD plates. It is available in 1, 1.5 and 2 way designs.
As far as I know the lokka is only one way dog clutch which is either engaged or disengaged.

I am not sure this is the case...if you get off it...the teeth do move out slightly...but it a race situation you are off it for 1/2 a sec..then you hit it again so they bite again...I guess trial and error will tell but I am pretty confident from what I have heard it wont disengage far enough under such speed/power.wont the lokka be engaging disengaing through corners if you happen to be on/off the gas for what ever reason? where as the spool is a constant.

I don't suppose I'll be getting it that cheap?Simple decision. Sell the full spool to me for $50 and that answers your question and helps me out too.I bought an LSD centre for $80 and a full spool for $165, so I now need to decide what way to go.
Didn't think so...

yeh fare enough that is a fair save on the cash. so i guess the kaaz lsd would work just as good, it would just be more smooth than the locker so i guess the extra cash would be worth it if its street driven alot no?

Good point LS2 but I think it is more orientated to road then full on race?..Being adjustable??...The D/Locker style seems to be the tool of choice for the track...Most guys I talk to seem to think after afew runs you know in your brain what it is going to do....guess its all about experimentaion...(No Heath!!...Not that type!!

cheers
