Is it worth $1400? Will Cattman give a discount to Orgers?

Is torque steer much reduced? Car much more fun to drive? Better traction in all conditions?

How easy is the install? I've seen the VQPower.com write-up and it looks a bit daunting... Would it be worth it to replace your tranny at the same time with a less-used one, or to cryo-treat your gears (how much does cryo-treating cost?).

Lastly, how do you pronounce "Quaife"? Kwayff?

Thanks.

 

don't have one.
is it worth $1400? maybe yes. "can you afford it?", is another question.
as far as i know, it does make a huge difference in traction and torque steer. for other questions don't have answers at all.

 

ask Jay25 from what I understand he loves his

 

I was thinking about doing the quaife but $1400 is not cheap. My friend has on in his VR and its nice.

 

I talked to brian a while back when he just sold the last one and he mentioned that he won't be getting anymore sence he has to buy 30 of them and they sell preaty slow so no more.

 

I love my quiafe. Good luck trying to get one, Cattman was the only authorized Quaife of America seller. He no longer carries them

 

and you do have to disassemble the whole tranny to get the diff out.

 

I'd heard this rumor....there's gotta be a way to get one, maybe contact Quaife directly... Probably would cost more, though. Maybe we can get 30 interested people and call Brian! (YA RIGHT...)

Seriously, though, maybe if we had even just 5 interested people with cash in hand, maybe he'd order then....

Jay, is it worth $1400? I'm thinking most people spend more than that on rims and tires (which are mostly for looks) so it's not a bad deal for a big handling/performance improvement...

 

Have you thought about swapping an I30 tranny in?

 

well i might have 2 people on this...me and my friend but with out the cash in hand...maybe a credit card but im probably gonna go with the phantom grip.

 

i want a quaife so count me in.

i don't think its gonna happen, there is no way we can get 30 people, i don't even think we can get 15 for this. phantom grip will work for me.

 

so cattman no longer sells the quaife? i checked the website and its pictured still.

i know there a dealer in puerto rico let see if i can find more info

 

does anyone know the answer to the cryo treating question that "MASACCIO" asked? do they make a phantom grip for a '95 5 spd? does anyone have any experience with the phantom grip?

 

The LSD in I30 trannies is nowhere near as good as the LSD in a Quaife. They're two completely different designs.

Phantom Grip...I just heard about it, has anyone heard any testimonials? I guess it's new for the Maxima. I doubt it comes close to the Quaife.

Maximus_pr, get back to us about the dealer in Puerto Rico. Thanks!

 

The Quaife and Kaaz types of gear diff's are far superior and most respects. Perhaps the Nissan helical's are that type too. Phantom and VLSD have specific purpose/functions but aren't as flexible for different driving styles. In regards to diff's you really get what you pay for. As far as Phantom they've gotten good reviews from non-Nissan apps and from NPM. I've also heard about metal shavings from more than one source.

 

Here is the website. Call the company and see if they can do anything for you.
http://www.quaifeamerica.com/

the number is (949) 240-4000

 

I just e-mailed them asking if they're still making them and where I can get one.

 

the phantom grip is basicly a little cube like thing that drops in the diff and that's basicly it, it works but nothing compares to the real thing. and VLSD and the actual LSD completely different things.

 

sorry i call the speed shop today they no longer sell quaife lsd as for the phanom grip read this

Here is the response from Quaife:

 

darn! i was gonna get one too.
I want a true LSD, not a clutch-fitted one that'll burn out.
oh well. :

OOh ****, I told you guys they were no longer making them. Theres a junked maxima in NY that has one in the tranny. According the the .org member he said it was damaged. I dont think it was damaged though. If you live in that area try locating a 2k max tranny. I bet my money that quiafe is in good condition.
