as far as I know all R33 has LSD factory standard :wacko:

my r33 GTS-4 had LSD and 4WD :yucky:

if you are not sure Just hoist up the car then turn one of rear wheel, if the car has LSD then the other side wheel should turn opposite direction.

cheers

take it for a test drive, and pop the clutch.. easiest way to test any car if it has lsd..

single spinners = no LSD

sideways, counterlocked + loads of smoke = LSD

but if my memory serves me right, all GTS don't have LSD only the turbo variants have LSD..

dont u mean turn the same direction? single spinners turn the opposite way dont they...

You can look this type of stuff up at http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan/skyline/

1993 R33 GTS25 LSD Optional

1993 R33 GTS25 Type S LSD Standard

1993 R33 GTS-4 LSD Standard

Obviously if it was only optional on the model you're looking at and not standard then you will still have to check if it has one fitted or not.

thanks mate.

so im lookin for a Type S or a GTS4. Dose anyone no if you can turn the AWD off on a Gts4? say for drift use? is it just flick a switch or do i need to start ripin out wires?

thanks

the pull the atessa fuse trick as far as i know only works safely with R32's

for R33's you will need to have a torque split convertor, or start pulling some bits out, an alternative is to learn 4wd drifting...

i'm sure there's a clip floating around of pva glue getting a little sideways in a gts4

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
