Skyline Diffs

[humz]

havin an arguement with my mate, im tellin him skyline diffs arent constant lsd, hes telling me they are!

who is right?

if someone can tell me all the info on sky diffs this would be great. coz i know for a fact my std diff on my skyline isnt a fultime lsd, coz after comparing it to my 9" in my old commonwhore its would get both wheels spinning almost instantly when you give it the smallest amount of shit!

but the sky you really have to give it a lot of shit before both wheels are smoking hard! and this isnt only in my sky, same as a few that ive driven!

iight set me straight ppl

What car?

I mean, there are many different diffs across the range from HR31's to R34GTR's.

Your really not asking anything than a question which is about as long as a piece of string to be honest

Sounds like you have a tired diff to me anyhow.

They are not "constant" as such, depends what you might classify that as

[humz]

my bad, r33.

i classify "constant" both wheels will loose traction at the same time all teh time.

i think ive sort of figured it out, sky have a viscous lsd standard not a "constant" ls

[R31Nismoid]

thats it

the viscous gets a bit tired easily

mine used to do both wheels ALL the time. it is getting a bit tired now and only does 1 wheel a bit. i'm going to change the fluid to see if that helps at all.

It helps for a little while then it's completely stuffed.

constant? do you mean locked or a mechanical LSD? And what sort of commodore has a ford diff in it?

Anyway.

r33 gtst has a viscous LSD that won't do much after 130000klm.

r33 gtr has a mechanical diff that may be OK and can be shimmed up very tight.

r33 gtr vspec has an active diff controlled by g sensors, wheel speed and hydraulics

[humz]

whats so strange about a 9" in a commi? theres even drag skylines out there with ford diffs.

i understand how a locker works but how does teh mechanical work?
