Would welding the diff help kick out the rear easier on a really low hp engine( I think my CA20E barely makes a 100 )? or should I just upgrade the engine a bit more before welding it? on a side note you should sell me the KA when the time comes for the swap ;)

Google my man, its your friend. Use it. Don't listen to KZread Mechanics, because you'll tell them something is wrong with your tire and they'll tell you that you need an engine rebuild.

Welded diff also makes your car extremely hard to push. If you break down and have to push your car into a parking lot you will be fighting the grip of the rear tires as you turn.

Been on welded diff for about 8 years daily driven, does it wear tires out fast probably, at the end of the day it gets drifted. So tires get replaced regardless. No issues parking.

You driving the tight curves and shifting sure took me back! I live in Oregon and I remember in, and right after high school ('75-'79) a bunch of my buddies and I would would pick up some girls and head to the coast on Highway 126. Boy you talk about a windy road all the way! I had the most gorgeous little 1969 Datsun 510 2 door 1600cc that would fly around corners with sticky tires! God I miss that car so much and wish I had it back! I can say that about dozens of different cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc. One of my other favorites that i would do almost anything to get back was a 1965 Nissan Patrol 4X4 that I installed Super swampers and lifted it four inches. I'm currently working on and driving (I've owned since 1986) a 1972 Plymouth Road Runner GTX, like the black one in F9, except mine is set up for drag racing and is Chrysler B5 Blue with chrome silver stripes and highlights. My RB big block is "poked and stroked to 528ci. I haven't had a chance to get a time slip showing what she will do on an actual drag strip, because the nearest strip is over 70 miles away and with 4:11 gears in the rear end I'm not driving it up there. I have plans for an old camp trailer that I am going to reinforce the frame and be able to tow it all up and down the west coast! Have fun, Drive safe!✌

yoooo youre the GOAT man . your vids are so informative and straight to the point!!! Im following your footsteps.

I've been running a welded diff and 5 degrees camber for the last 2 years on my 86 camaro drift car and driving it all the time so it's definitely not bad lol but to be fair I also burn up around 20+ tires a year on the back and 2 on the front but the camber doesn't really tear them up I just like to put new tires on the front every 6 months to keep good grip for drifting and testing out other brands. Great video and very informative keep it up man!

Im happy someone made a good video on this subject besides me trying to explain/ go over every myth of dailying a car with a welded to diff to a friend.

Daily drove my first 86 with a spool for 2 yrs in Nippon. Much love ❤️

Another concern is heavy wear on the bushings, not that much if they are new or depending on the style of suspension in the back but when they get old any looseness in them will create movement and the tire will start making small jumps instead of slipping a little all the time, When that happens you can say goodbye to your bushings because they will wear out in no time! I also want to add that you wont be popular at places with a gravel driveway because you will tear that up pretty good if you have to turn sharply on it.

great info, perfect timing! planning on welding my daily real soon

Andrew Marsden ha beat me to it... I love this aspect of the channel. As someone looking to start drifting I've learned a lot from the videos. every time I want to ask a question he ends up addressing it before I even ask. amazing channel.

Its worth noting that a welded diff is more likely to break the diff itself. That's the issue I've had the most on my sc400(heavy AF) was having my diff grenade and my second welded diff is on the way out aswell. You might want to start on a tight diff that isn't out of adjustment because if it is even a little you will have noise in no time. Steerings also heavyier but that's only an issue if you don't have power steering.

Very well presented video with all the facts and video evidence. Appreciate the advice

Thanks, very good explanation with demonstration. Helped me a lot.

Thanks bruh this made me feel a lot better, getting a 97 Miata this saturday and it's got a welded diff and I've never anything like that before.

Matt M Adam lz 240sx is way better

I had both, a BMW with a strong LSD (75%) and a welded on in my Ford Sierra(EU Sierra). For me the handling of the welded one was way better. The BMW was a good drifter BUT driving it on daily base was hard. Every time you hit the throttle while doing a turn, LSD closed and the car was suddenly understeering. And when you took back the power LSD opened and you suddenly went into the corner because of less understeering. So fast turns were really difficould and surprising to drive!

Haven’t even finished watching but still subscribing because of the organization

an S-chassis with any increased angle, just simply inner tie rod spacers, with a welded diff is way easier to park than a car with stock angle and open diff into tight parallel parking spots. the welded also helps due to the binding, which allows the car to not roll away when doing precision moves with clutch, its like you are left foot braking.

having mine welded right now, stoked!

Man this video is so helpful, legend

I really never noticed a difference with a welded diff just that tires do wear out sooner. just in the rain it does get a little sketchy on the turns and curves but to be honest its fun other than that its fine.

Honestly when I welded the diff on my e46 i didn’t even notice a difference in daily driving ....but it slides super easy now best DIY I’ve done on the car 💯

i have a volvo 240 wagon with a welded diff and full heim joint rear suspension with 235 tires. I daily drive it and i can hardly even tell its welded! even parking, no noise, chirps, scrubbing, nothing. Maybe its the longer wheel base and solid axle contributing but for me its super super super tame

Ran a 97 wrangler as a dd for two years. Custom Ford 9 inch, spool, 355 gear. Main thing was needed solid lower arms to handle the torque.

Good shit, thanks Adel!

you should bring back those videos where you compare/review products :D

Nice vid' dude ! But on my e36 bmw it took me 4-5hours to switch the diff for the first time ^^

Great video!

you should do a video comparing a tubed front end vs a non tubed front end...or a pros and cons

Sometimes when people weld a diff they put sooooo much heat into the differential that it actually warps the metal and causes the gear mesh to go out of spec and you will get a loud gear whine when driving straight. I believe this is some of the noise concerns people have..

Oh yea I’m definitely welding the diff in my g35

I have 255 and I foresee breaking an axle soon lol my diff is welded but I normally don't run anything bigger than a 225 we just had some nice potenzas at my shop for grabs and they were the right size

I will fiberglass over the ac vents and have the cracks filled and then the entire thing vinyl wrapped. I went over it in the update video.

I drove my welded diff E60 520d daily. To be honest it was fun and didnt cause any troubles, it was hard to do u turns or low speed tight turns, sometimes you have to back it up etc. But it wasn t a big deal, i drove it like 30k km including long trips, never had an issue with it. But it slowed down the acceleration, i didnt measure how much it slowed down but it did. But car changed even in rain the car wants to do what you tell it to, if you want to slide the back it slides, if you want to stay in the line it stays. It was a nice idea to weld it for that car. But many cars gearboxes cant handle that weight so careful, I dont recommend doing this to auto geared e60s. It can cause a lot of problems. Manuel 520d E60 welded dif, no problem in 30k km.

Welded my diff yesterday 💕 can't wait for the first rain :P (E36 1.6 😂)

I came here to find info bc i just installed a junkyard axle that the diff is welded on my 87 suburban. This releaved some of my concerns.

The only time a locker rear diff is a real concern is on low traction situations like in the rain or ice. Otherwise it's not hardly any different than a normal rear diff

How much does a set of new tyres cost you on a drift day? What do you use?

I ran welded diffs for years the only issue is it can get squirmy on tight turns in the rain if you were not paying attention.

i ran a 235 stretched on a 10" wheel only had one problem in 2 years which was that i broke the bolts holding my axle to my diff

If you weld your diff it will give you better traction for "canyon" driving,drag racing etc etc, you need to make it brake traction with a welded diff to make it drift if you do not have the HP to do so, but it makes drifting more fun if you can not afford a proper LSD, it's the cheap and easy way.....

has no body with a nissan heard of selectable lockers? i think every built jeep has them at this point, rubicons even come factory with them.. theres a switch on your dash.. off is a completely open diff, on is locked solid.. id estimate theyre about 500-600$ and probably a couple hundred cheaper if you get a cable actuated one and run a cable pull to the cab itd pay for itself after one broken axleshaft or one set of preworn tires

I Have a 95 bronco with a locker in the back and I live in Alaska and going around a turn on the snow or ice it likes to push through turns a lot but other then that and in the summer the tire churp it isn’t all that bad besides the winter it causes a lot of anxiety for turning in an intersection but that’s it

All my questions are about LSD vs. welded differential, are you gonna make that video soon? I anecdotally heard LSD slides less predictably and what not. I'm thinking of either buying the cheapest NA miata I can find welding diff and stripping for track buisness, or getting the cheapest salvaged GT86. I'd like to get into drifting but I don't think I can afford all the tires on top of track time... I mostly just wanna be able to control oversteer slides confidently, for now not looking to link drifts yet

If U axel hop sideways you will blow Axel's very quick. I usually blow them in 2-3 days by clutch kicking around corners.

great video

Are you guys with welded diffs really getting around 5000 miles before it wears out like his example? That seems quite low to me. Just wondering what others get.

Can you break down your rear suspension please !!!! My car is super low and my brand new axels keep breaking

Question I got a 95 Ford thunderbird little stuff done been wanting to drift it but but the question is I produce alot of torque on my stock rearend will that cause me to keep replacing axles if I wielded the diff

how do you know when you broke an axle? Jack in up and then spin one rear tire and see if the other spins?

do keep in mind to chill on turns with the welded diff, I slide a few days ago turning unattentional. so just be chill on turns
