Hiya

On the way home from work today I passed by a perf shop that was advertising the Gtech's. On a total impulse, I bought one. Up till now, I've babied my max and never really pushed her. I couldnt wait -- I found an open piece of flat road and made some leadfooted runs.

One thing that I noticed is that in 2 out of my 5 runs, the driver side wheel would break loose on start and leave a long patch of rubber. I have a Canadian AE which supposedly has the LSD. Is this normal?? I mean, will the LSD prevent wheel spin under all conditions or does it just try its best but still allow wheel spin when it has to???

Thanks.

I am having wierd experiences with my tire marks too. I supposedly don't have an lsd but I can lay down twin patches which tells me it's sending power to both wheels simultaneously. What gives? But as for your question, if you do have an lsd then it's a viscous coupling style one which means you slip before you grip. As the drivers side wheel starts to spin internal friction in the differential heats the fluid which applies pressure in some fashion to cause the differential to divert about 20% of the power to the other wheel. Not an ideal setup like the torque sensing gear style lsd in the new Maximas. Hope that helps somehow.

 

It's normall to spin both tires, it's not like we have rear wheel pozzy{S?}.

All the VLSD does is transfer more power to the tire that has the most traction, it is only capable of something like a 60/40 split in power distrabution. A HLSD{02 max} whould be able to transfer much more power to one wheel or the other.


What kind of 0-60 times did you get using your G-Tech?

 

Posi = Positive traction which equals a Limited Slip Differential. That is what its suppose to do give power to the wheel with more traction. rerunn if it was only on 2 out of 5 runs there might have been something on the pavement or a slight incline that you might not have noticed.
