Conkers, you're missing my point though. Most people on here arent running big power, nor do they have a big wallet. There's probably 5 running over 250bhp, and very few have really shown an interest to get a better diff. Most here bought an S12 coz they were on a budget, and I can only assume they would like to keep it that way. Things need to be kept in perspective...

The S13 diff is a good upgrade over a standard diff. Yes, its no way near as good as a motorsport or clutch type item, but you need to appreciate that most people who own an S12 don't have deep pockets to afford such goodies. Even if a diff is robbed from a kingcab, it still won't be cheap. You also need to appreciate that most people on here don't have an engineering or motorsport background, and therefore won't have the skills and tools (like you) to setup a diff.

My mate had a welded diff in his S12, whilst brilliant for drifting, it created some alarming understeer at times, which don't help when the S12 front camber isnt too good for understeer. At no point have I said an S13 diff can be used for drifting though.

I will probably get an S15 torsen diff, but these are fetching some good money at the moment, but I'll stick with the S13 LSD that I swapped a used bleed valve, neon lights, a shiny gearnob and a rear wing for
