hey guys,

brought a r33 gts-t about a month ago and had the first day of wet roads the otherday :( so i thought i would take it out the back and see how she goes! i attempet to rip a nut and was deeply dissapointed! it dropped on to 1 wheel and wouldnt spin round! but coming out of corners it does poweries no worries.

Is there something wrong with my diff or is it something im doin wrong???

kinda a newbie to skylines so im still learning so some help would be great!

p.s it is running 198rwkw so i dont thing it is a power issue???

HELP PLEASE!!!

sounds like your diff is just a bit worn.i had the same problem with my r32. you could get it re-shimed or if u want to spend the money get a mechanical diff. :banana:

ok so the diff in the r33 gtst's is a clutch diff?

do you know how much it is to get shimed and where to get it done?

i say ur best to get the shims urself and take the diff to a diff shop and get them to do it.. its a fair bit of f**kin around to pull the centre apart and if they f**k it up they have to fix it :D

there is a DIY thread with all the correct part #'s for the thrust washers (shims)

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
