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

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
