I was told by Ben a race pace that they are mechanical anyway.

stock r32 gts-t diffs aren't mechanical btw, they're viscous (unless nissan released a couple of freak gts-t's with mech's..... who knows)

Hi Guys,

I finally got my car back last thursday!

Im very happy with the rebuild, works very well!

In my situation the rebuild was the better option because my gears were a bit worn and the pinnion rod was snapped, so now my diff is nice and fresh.

We will see how the lsd works over time and maybe look at an after market item. If so I'll know the rest of the diff is nice and fresh!

I also got a 12 month warranty with the rebuild.

Thanks for all you advice and opinions guys.

Take Care

hey guys,

im very confused and dont know what to opt or my gtst 32.

basically the car is street, i like to drive in the hills alot, needs to be daily driveable-ish.. can handle a little bit of inconvinience.. and i want it to slide hard every now and then when i tell it to... whats the best option?? i was offered a nismo 2way for my car, but i dont know if it wat i really want/need.. what do you guys reckon?

A clutch type diff is always shimmed to adjust its tightness.

VLSD's on the other hand are a total different kettle of fish.

A gtr diff can go for as low as 450 right up to around (nisswreck) 650.

Obviously with the nisswreck diff you get to swap it if its too worn or stuffed.

I'm not sure on the setup cost.

I am going this route once I drop new valve springs and smaller head oil restrictors in. Head off job :woot:.

the only real time i find my nismo 2way getting on my nerves is in the servo carparks with the shiny concrete. Then it squeaks like a biatch.

Id only replace it with the gtr mechanical, a 1/1.5 way or the s15 helical centre. But i like the way it is now :woot:

I have had the Kaaz 1.5 way mech diff installed.

The difference is marked!

The car powers out of corners now hard as. At deca on the weekend, I got zero single spinning. much better drive.

but, if ya wanna hang it out, as I really do, the diff is great. very controllable and easy.

so a 2way wont be deathly in the hills and spit me off a cliff somewhere... they are pretty reliable.. as in work the same every time..

unlike some diffs ive noticed will work one time and then not another you have to be prepared for anything depending on what mood its in..?

i dont mind a little bit of gayness from it coz its going to be mainly weekend/cruising/latenight stuff so yeah

Go the 2way.. Its not like you will loose money on it as they hold their value well. :blush:

If its a little harsh and you get paranoid when cops are looking when the inside wheel chirps around roundabouts and in carparks then look at a gtr mech diff.

You'll get used to it. I drive mine daily with a lot of car park use (at uni) so there's no way I would put up with a aftermarket 2 way especially if it shudders and chirps the way the nismo 2 way does. :geek:

But if it wasn't for uni I could probably put up with it, not sure if the other half would be too happy about it though. :S

Does anyone know what kind of GTR diff centre would suit a SII R33 Sedan 5 speed? Im thinking of replacing/rebuilding the diff and putting in the GTR diff centre, as it sounds like a good compromise between vlsd and mechanical. Maybe i will wait a while and see what Cubes results are like :).

cheers

Whats a "AFAIC" mini spool? I've been searching for a mini spool for my 33 gts-t diff for quite some time now and cant find one at all.... anyone have any ideas?

Basically a small device that replaces the centre of the diff, be it an open diff or possibly lsd and it locks the diff, kind of like welding only removable.

Hi Guys,

It has been a little while since I started the thread.

I just wanted to share something I found quite interesting.

While I have been enjoying my fresh diff a lil while ago now I was chatting to my mechanic and he told me I had a GTR centre!!!!

Could someone please tell me the advantages??

All I know is it doesn't have clutch packs like the gtst ones.

Thanks

Mark

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
