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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
