Just wondering if anyone new what other rear ends you can put on the S or whats the best upgrade? I used to have a 240sx with the r33 skyline vlsd and it made the world of difference. Being that its a 5 lug, wondering if you could match that up in an S. Would you have to use the guts out of it and fit it in the stock housing, switch axles, etc.... Not sure about everyone else's, but lately mine kind of clicks under a pressure, like just going up an incline.

Also, doesnt have to do with the diff, but lately when i let off the clutch real slow and go to take off, the car kinda of like chugs, its hard to explain better to see in person. It like cuts in and out until it gets in higher rpm, some people told me flywheel. Don't know to much about the internal stuff so any help would be great......

 

there is a kit that allows you to put the r200 diff in the s2000, but none other that i know of.

My diff clicks too its been doing that since I have owned the car 25k later I still have no problems with it so don't worry to much about ur diff unless u launch ur car/shift hard as [freak].

 

im willing to bet that it is not your diff...

you know how many diffs i have been through and it still clicks...which leads be to believe it's axles.

 

^ i was thinking that two. cause my driver side axel doese click when i make a hard right hand turn. But i was refering to the op's clicking when ur engagin the clutch it kinda sounds like the diff but i guess well never know if its axels or diff.

 

Take out the spindle nut, grease it, then re-torque it to 220lb-ft. problem solved

 

Axels click. I had that problem once. Got new axels no more clicking.

 

I have no clicking, I agree that it's probably the axles not the diff making that noise.

As stated inline pro makes a kit that allows the use of the R200 Nissan differential. It includes a new drive shaft, axles, hubs, studs and mount.

 

What Honda should do is make a stronger diff. I broke mines and my only mods are a exhaust and drop in filter. Driver error and abuse could have alot to do with it, but my boy beats on his 240 all the time day in and day out with no issues yet lol. But im gonna look into the r200 diff kit.

 

Any ideas on what i mentioned on the clutch issues? Air in the lines? It doesnt slip because ive done the "tests" to check that

 

for sure, clicking is from axle. i had one break on me before. and i know its not a diff, because i broke one of those two.

i also have a question about the diff:
1. say my diff is whining right now...will it have a chance of breaking on me if i drove it hard? not shifting hard...but like going at high RPMs?

If your diff is whining, chances are that you have sheered off a couple teeth somehow. I would Replace the fluid and check for metal shaving when you drain it.

ebay has a j's racing diff magnetic drain plug for 41 bucks.

 

If you are getting a clicking sound while accelerating you should check your axle spindle nut. It is a common problem with AP1's

 

the oem diff drain plug is magnetic i know for a fact.
