Hey i have an R33 Series2 GTST and im so confused about what oil to use for the diff, ive searched the forums but different posts say totaly different things.

Now some say to use a LSD oil and some say to use a non LSD oil, some say to use non LSD oil but that using LSD oil wont hurt it and some say just use a hypoid oil ..

But lets get this straight, the car is LSD, when i smoke it up both wheels go so its definatly LSD. I read that its a Viscous LSD diff, is this correct ?

And if so doesnt that mean i need a LSD oil and not a non LSD oil that i read on this forum ..

Also what weight do i need .. eg 85w90

So has anyone got a favorate diff oil that they use ..

Im looking for a name, so i can goto the shop and ask for some castrol blah blah blah for example.

One of the ones ive read to use is Castrol LSX90

But some say to use it for an R33 GTST and others say to use it for an R33 GTS

And im pretty sure the GTST is LSD and the GTS is not, so shouldnt they use different diff oil.

And im still confused about which to use in my GTST, a LSD oil or a non LSD oil ..

Well it looks like no one knows weather to use LSD or non LSD oil in the R33GTST, ive searched this forum and everyone says somethin different.

I just need to know if i should get a LSD or non LSD oil.

Can people with an R33GTST please post what oil they use in there diff, and dont just say redline or castrol, that is no help what so ever, i need the brand as well as the weight, eg Castrol EPX 80w90

But i realy need to know weather to use a LSD or non LSD and an explanation why would be helpful.

Also another confusing thing is that some threads here say to make sure that the diff oil u use DOESNT have a Friction Modifier in it and some threads say to use a diff oil that has a Friction Modifier in it.

Its so confusing when u read something in one thread and in another thread it will say the total opposite.

ps. sorry for all the questions but after searching this forum im more confused then ever.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
