Default Locking out my TL-01 Diffs

Hi this is my first post on here , so here we go I have wantched the you tube video but there is no sound so I am not sure what I have to do .

Can some one add me a link or a diagram on how/what I have to do to lock out my diffs on my 350z tl-01 please?

I have just got into drifting and my car struggles at times when sliding its fitted with a tekin speed controller that has no reverese so does this make drifting harder at all ? just wonderering if you need reverse as a kicker / brake to allow the back end to kick out?

Is there also anywhere in the stafforshire area in the UK where poeple drift so I can learn how its all doen ??

Cheers !!!!!

use nitro tubing 2mm and 3mm pieces to tighten diffs, dont lube the diff. and tighten both this way.
otherwise run PE/ABS tyres with bluetak pressed into the read diff. difficult but effective.

the tubing does this go on the three sticky out bits of the diff then the three cogs go back on to them ?

Just open the Diff,

Take some blue-tac or play-doe and stuff it in, dont overdue it so it doesnt close,

Then put it back in and DRIFT!,

And Reverse is not needed for driftin but is to prevent crashes( IF U STREET SLIDE IT!)

you spin out alot more with the back only locked.
yes the nitro tube goes over the three prongs.

Or. you can use hot glue in the front to make it tight,

and lock the rear with blue-tac!,

I don't think if you drift on a rough surface you'd spin out with only the rear locked though!
