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. :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
