    A mate just said the LSD mini spool would be too much on the street specially in the wet.

    You can't put a mini spool in a LSD.

    You can not have a LSD and mini spool, it's that simple.

    it's a contradiction, a LSD will allow the wheels to spin at different speeds under certain conditions, a minispool will lock them together 100% of the time.

    all BW78 diffs are 28 spline from VL onwards. only the BW78 diffs fitted to the later VK's had 25 spline axles.

    The guy is full of ****! That is not an LSD hemisphere, its just a plain old single wheeler hemisphere with a mini spool in it

    As Everyone else has said, you cant fit a mini spool in an LSD centre, it needs to be a single wheeler centre to be able to accept a mini spool....simple! Your mate is definately pulling your leg.....or he doesnt know anything himself!

    Immortallity: Only VLT 6 cylinders & v8's were 28 spline, all N/A VL 6 cylinders were 25 spline. But yes, all VN onwards are 28 spline.

    Nah my mate wasnt meaning what i had wrote above sorry my bad for putting it like that, he was tellin me lsd or a mini spool the size i was looking at would be bad. He recomended a 3.5 LSD. Im guessing that would be close to a banjo ratio. And yeah when i saw that ebay item i was thinking how the hell does the splines run on that lol. The message he sent me on my mobile had LSD/mini spool..was me makin him and me look dumber lol.

    3.08 is the stock ratio... The higher (as in 3.45/3.7/3.9) you go the more trouble you would have in the wet because of better acceleration. So what your mate is saying still does not make sense. But at the same time, LSD will give you more traction. LSD is much easier to handle in the wet, but a mini spool may give you problems cornering if you don't know how to drive a mini-spooled car.

    Yes well mini spool LIKE HELL lol, he just put his mini spool in his vx supercharged, and like hell am i gettin a mini spool. Coppers would never leave you alone, in a straight line his car is still freakin as awesome as ever but cornering omg carries on something shocking. But he got his rip shift in to thats awesome. Mini spool on the streets no way lol. Bunting and carrying on sheesh stuff that see how it goes at the drags next saturday.

    you won't need a retune but your speedo will be out. a jaycar speedo corrector kit will fix this problem. see below
