steel clutch diff what do i do

[mrskyline777]

it has rather agricultural sound turning corners and a rather loud clunking sound we open it up and replaced some shims (aparently i wasnt involved i should say they) and it stoped for a while what do the best way of explaining the dif is that its either locked or its not but its not a fully locked diff will that red line stuff help, any help will be much appreciated

Sounds like a detroit locker. They are supposed to be very strong but if your looking for finesse....forget it They lock up with a clunk when you go round a corner and unlock when you exit, very agricultural.... I wouldn't have one in a road car.

What's wrong with the Skyline LSD ??

Nominee for post-without-punctuation award? Looks like he knew something was wrong near the end though, where he threw in a comma instead of a full stop. Santa, my only wish for Christmas is that people would finish primary school level English before buying a Skyline.

About the diff. If you haven't replaced oil yet, then definanlty give Redline a go. I know several people with noisy diffs (none of them Nissan), that weren't so noisey after diff oil was replaced for something more slippery. Probably won't fix the problem but it'll make it a lot less noticable.

Is it a standard Nissan viscous diff?

Yes I do agree with all of you, the punctuation was all but non exsistant thank you for your patience. As for spelling and missing words all together i do apologise. If somthing needs to be explained further, I would be happy to do so.

Ive been told the more slippery the worse it will be, but I reckon I've got nothing to lose. If it had a standard dif in it when I bought the car I would have kept it in dont worry about that. They're hard to come by in Rockhampton
