Does anyone know if omega diff is a VicsousLSD

[HockeyDave55]

I have a similar problem, should be an LSD but jack one wheel off the ground and I would think I could turn it with a load of resistance, I have none???
Not trying to hijack your thread, just getting in here so I can pick up the tips.

No problem mate.

My mate has ex plod with tightened diff and she will go round on the spot. So I'm thinking of getting it tightened soon. I know for my skyline the shims to tighten were £3 each so hope the same for miggy.

Can the diff be refubished by any chance

I don't see why not - I imagine the bits are all available.. I'm no expert, though - 2woody (here) has probably forgotten more about diffs than I know. Maybe he'll show up here now I've mentioned his name..

it should lock up after a certain degree of slip, IIRC is it 45% or something?

[Latchie_3.0v6]

Thats what I was expecting but I think maybe inside diff is worn down possibly. There is a little bit of resistance when turning wheel by hand. But when I try to throw her round she only spins one wheel so thinking maybe diff is loose or something, I don't know anything about diff's but I do know that my mates locks nearly straight away.

[ngrainqey]

have you replaced oil? how many miles has it done with plod and since? i dont know how long the friction plates last but if very high milage and a donut fanatic previously then might need new friction plates

There was 130,000 miles on the car it came off. 
Can you buy friction plates separate and are they specialist job to fit.

[ngrainqey]

Vx i think or gearbox rebuilders wil beable to do it i think

[Latchie_3.0v6]

Ok thanks I'll leave it at that. I'll have a nosy about and see what I can get done. Thanks everyone for all the feedback.

if you can find anybody who can refub an lsd let me know as i think mine is also buggered or contaminated plates in mine??
when cold it leaves lovely 11s up the tarmac but when hot it only spins 1 & intermitant on other how can i explane??
ok 1 wheel does _______ other ,,,,,,,,,, but its always the o/s that does the ,,,,,,,, n/s does ______
& other thing it does on rounderbouts it snatches on cornering locking a wheel bringing on traction control but with TC off its a complete bitch when its hot!
i wonder if they do a Diff flush?? or once contaminated there fked...
