R34 Lsd?

[R34NRG]

mate of mine just bought a GTT and was showing it off infront of the school doing burnouts ect ect.

but when it was going around in circles it looked like only one wheel was spinnin.

is this just me?

R34 GTTs have LSD dont they?

[Kaido_RR]

yes r34 has lsd but they are viscous and with age they stop working correctly and turn into a single spinner under some events

[R34NRG]

what way do u recommmend i test out if mine are fuctioning properly or not?

is there a way fo correcting this?

yes there is a few ways

-rebuild it

-put some redline oil in it (some people think that works)

-change to mech lsd 1.5way or 2way

how much are we talking about for a rebuild

how much are we talking about for a rebuild

not sure i think its around $600 it could be less or could be more

aftermarket lsd cost anywhere between $1000 and $1500 (not inc the cost of installing them)

Automatic transmission got the

Rear screw refuse LSD (non-slip differential)

Manual transmission got the

Rear helical LSD (non-slip differential)

[GreddyGo]

a 1998 year r34's standard diff shouldn't be worn out already, maybe in some extreme cases.

What is involved with fitting the aftermarket one in?

i thought it was a complete r&r.

Thats just gay...

You'd think a car like that would come with a proper LSD

[32GTRB]

to test if its still working chuck a burnout in a straight line and see if it leaves 2 marks or one

Limited slip mate, not non slip,, non slip is a locker, or mini spool

Slam into 2nd gear.

Mine wouldn't spin both wheels when going in circles until I popped second.

I found this out on the skid pan.

Just tell him to start in second gear. Just dial up 6000rpm and drop the clutch.

But don't do it in front of schools.

That's just f**king stupid.

My LSD died. Just became a single spinner. It was a viscous one from an auto R34. I've got a Nismo 1 way mechanical in there now. Me and Majanal put it in one evening. Took us about 6 hours on the ground in the dirt, not very good conditions.

How so?

They arent designed to take a lot of punishment and are dying left right an centre.

They arent what they used to be... good ole HR31 R200, can never break the thing

[shnaped_second]

R34 LSD's have to be the worst nissan have ever made! my 34 had 50k on it when i bought it, when trying to send the car sideways it would only spin 1 wheel, cant seen them getting better with age, so i got a nismo 2 way fitted

[smurf80]

Probably a shagged LSD. Only way to tell is get your mate to do another burnout in front of the school to see if it leaves 2 black lines or 1.

Seriously mate I read your posts from time to time and you ask valid questions as thats why we are here to expand our knowledge on a common interest but really you do spoil your question by posting the rest eg. "doing a burnout in front of school" you will loose alot of credit for your question with a remark like that and people tend to focus on negatives than positives (its human nature) You also realise the police frequent car forums and will catch up with you and your mates eventually. Just try and think before typing.

You could always shim the diff. Another stock sized shim is $6 trade from Nissan and will add more preload making it tight again. But, it's known to increase wear and will open wheel again down the track.

i have the same problem.. just in first gear though... but is all sweet in second... i am leaning to believe its oil as when i got the car(2months ago) it was perfect so i doubt i have worn it out. i dont do too many burnouts in front of schools
