hey guys, i was just wondering what the easiest way is to identify an L.S.D on an R34 GT-t, without just baggin em up, as its not my car. i'm pretty sure its an LSD, as wen ma mate plants it, the back comes around very quick, when he launches, it even steps out a bit, but another mate of mine keeps tellin me that its not, coz he cant find a tag on the diff itself (and hes a mechanic that deals with quite a few skylines, so i cant just tell him hes plain rong, i want some evidence). is there anythin in the VIN number that will tell u if its an LSD or not? like on the supras? is there something i need to look at on the diff itself?

cheers,

Ben

jack the rear.

turn wheel by hand.

both go same way lsd.

different ways not lsd..

yeh i thought about that, got anything easier? i really cbf with that, u see, im kinda the lazy type, and i dont like workin with those bodgy wind up jacks personally. ma mate would probly freak and not let me jack it up anyway... he doesnt know all that much wen it comes to cars, and panics wen anyone touches something, if he doesnt know wot it is himself... basically everything. thanks for the tip, and keep the ideas comin

cheers,

Ben

your mate should be able to tell, just from the feel of it when launching / kicking the tail out a bit. When you kick it out, it should stay out if you get my drift (pun intended), if it just goes straight, or you notice one wheel spinning on the spot, then it's not an lsd.

Or going up driveways slowly, or driving on a dirt road that's bumpy, you should be able to notice it single-spinning if it's an open diff.

Also, i thought all turbo skylines had a factory lsd?

I think if you jack up one side, with car in neutral, should be hard to turn the wheel that's off the ground. (be careful because if it's an lsd it'll try to turn the wheel that's on the ground, just make sure wheels are chocked and car doesn't try and roll off the jack....)

c'mon man, it'll take 5 mins! that's pretty lazy...

hitting friend with spanner sounds like a good idea. all GTT's come with factory LSD.

sometimes HICAS on GTTs can make it seem that it has an LSD because how easily the back kicks out.

try full lock to the right when pointing up a hill and just plant it, 1 wheel burn out = no lsd, 2 wheel burnout = more fun... plus LSD.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
