hi

i was reading about shimming R33 GTS diff...a few pages back

then i notice it wasen't worth it at all cuz it will only last weeks/month

and since i am putting out about 600hp anyways

but on a BNR32 will it be actually do-able? because it being a 2way from stock. rather then open diff like R33 GTS

if i shim it, it will just be a stronger two way ???

so will it be worth it shimming a bnr32 diff ?

have anyone have experience

if not...i am looking for a Crazy locking lsd for a 600hpish BNR32 !! which brand/model do you guys reccommend ?

thx

I think they are 1.5 way stock rather than 2 way. Also I have spoken to people who have done this and it was very much worth their while. They also replace the clutch packs in them I think.

I have just put an R32 GTR diff in my car and am waiting for a track day to test it's condition. If it's a bit tired I will be doing this for sure.

i'm not sure i completely understand the question. but we are talking about a kit which has replacement clutch disks (and apparently more of them) for a standard GTR diff. so yeah it fits in the stock housing? it's still the stock diff... just with newer, more clutch packs in it.

I run a gtr diff with nismo 5bolt axles. I was told they are setup pretty loose from factory and can be shimmed a little providing its plates are good.

Mine is fairly tight but doesn't clunk.

Awaits the nismo clutch pack. Any news on its cost?

shimming a diff is not a good solution - clutch plates are made of friction material and will give you LSD action, shims just make everything want to bind because there is less clearance than designed.

no mate, loosly used term. it actually relaces the thick side washers inside it with 4 extra plates so yuo get a stronger lsd. they stip out quite easy standard as theres only one plate engaged on the axle shaft.

i had mine done a stewart wilkens rally. in mulgrave.

if shimming is no good

then which LSD do you recommend?

something crazy, for track and drift

as above. :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
