Rear Diff. LSD???

Pretty much impossible to tell from a photo, but the finned cover suggests it might be a viscous LSD. Try jacking up the rear end (both wheels off the ground), then turning one wheel - if the other wheel turns in the same direction, then you have an LSD, but if it turns in the opposite direction it is an open diff (probably - i've seen completely stuffed LSD's act in the same way as an open diff).

RC45 says you have an R200 diff with 4.5 gears.

I jack the car up last week and when i turn 1 wheel front or back. The other doesn't move at all. Is it spoiled?

Where can i find info on how to tell what type of LSD i have and if it is damaged or worn?

Turning a wheel while your car is on a car may not cause the other to turn as well for both an open wheeler and LSD - the other wheel will only turn definately if you have a Locked diff.

The 4.5:1 is better for fast pick up and drifting although you'll go thru fuel way quicker.

One way of telling (the way I found out at least) is to go to a quiet road and do a long 2nd gear burnout (dumping the clutch hard so as not to allow it to slip) - do the burnout for about 5 metres and get out and check - if there's 2 black lines, it's working if there's only one, then it's broken or it's an open wheeler.

If the LSD is working (at all) both wheels should turn together....on an open diff they will turn in the opposite direction because that is the nature of the mechanism. The ONLY way this won't happen (either case) is when something else is preventing it (eg brake pad drag).

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
