lock the front or rear in gq
lock the front or rear in gq
hey i have tried to find a thread on this but haqd no luck, i have a gq shorty which has the factory rear lsd. Its turboed and running 35s. Im at the stage now that i want to start looking at traction aids. Ive read so many mixed reviews bout autolockers vs arb vs tjm. I want to go air locker i think its extra coin but oh well it will drive better. So what is the recommendation for which diff to lock i am only guna lock one at this point cause the budget doesnt stretch that far. front or the rear? also where is the cheapest place on the net to buy lockers, especially tjm as i think ill go that way
throw the auto hubs out and go a set of Genuine Nissan Manual locking units. I have seen AVM hubs shatter to pieces on tracks and they weren't even locked. Never seen someone break a Genuine Nissan Manual locking unit yet, they are built too strong, a very good aid for Comp drivers thats for sure.mudhunt wrote:also what sort of manual hubs do people recommend for gq ive currently got factory auto/ manual hubs that i want to change for manual hubs

Never had a prob with genuine Nissan auto/manual hubs, they are bl**dy strong! I'm running Superwinch hubs now only cos I need low ratio when towing a tandem trailer on steep hard ground. Otherwise I would still have the auto/manuals.

I too run the auto/manual hubs and never had a problem.
The factory manual ones are very hard to find over here, most had auto or man/auto hubs.
The only factory hubs I have seen, were removed after a front locker was installed because they were too strong, and the guy was breaking cv's.
He went for superwinch hubs from memory as it didnt take long to replace if he was too heavy footed.

there ya go..and yep RD24 into 91 GQ..in fact probably all gq td42's but i won't stick my neck out too far there cos i'm not sure but definitely 1991.
I think gq's are all disc brakes aren't they???
When I had mine locked all they wanted to know before ordering was year and engine size...but if you're doing it online then you want to be as accurate as you can i guess.

Just dug out the jobsheet for my rear locker, despite not saying rd24 the part is stated as "ARB Air Locker NIS GQ/Y60 Drum Rear".
I hadn't noticed that before and I know I have discs all round too!
Cost was NZD$1794 gst incl a year ago and didn't include compressor etc!
