So there is a ratio differance between the R32 gtst (4.363-1) and the gts-4 (4.375-1).this is interesting to me as I've just bought what I thought was a gtr full Diff disc to disc.As I'm dissassembling it I've noticed its a viscus diff in it witch means to me its a gts-4 diff which I bought for the bigger drive shafts (I keep braking my gtst one's )So are the half shafts inter changable between the two ?

cheers Peter

Legend.. I can't comment on the R33 NA GTS4 diff's but the R32 GTS4 diff's are 100% mechanical. Well the one that I saw was and others have also stated they are mechanical. :)

The J30 diff runs the same pumpkin and 6bolt half shafts as a GTR/GTS4 BUT is viscous and runs a higher diff ratio. Before I bought my current mechanical I bought what was supposed to be a GTR pumpkin and axles which turned out to be a viscous unit. The dodgy jap importer *no names mentioned* sold the bits as a GTR rear end but swapped out the diff center for a cheap J30 viscous unit.

What ratio is yours? Its stamped on the crown wheel.

Hi Cubes

Still pulling it down atm only got it today ,as soon as I get it all apart I'll post up some pic's. I bought it as an 90 gtr diff complete. But the cradle is an R32 one some slight differances in the hicas setup as most parts bolt to top of diff

Cheers Peter .

A good way I test the diff is to get the car on 3 wheels leaving one of the rears up in the air (easily done if you have stiff suspension)

Then apply some torque slowly while turning the wheel, with a mechanical LSD the car should take off, a worn out diff or a vlsd would spin the lifted wheel and you will remain on the same spot.

Is that a good way of doing it guys? correct me if im wrong?

Cheers

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
