R33 Differential Issues

Hi guys, i have a quick question, i have a series 2 33 gtst, and i feel there is something wrong with the diff.

when i stand straight line and spin the wheels i feel that both weels are spinning equally, now when i start to turn and attempt a slide or a donut for example, i feel the car twitch and realise that no longer are both wheels spinning evenly but one wheel ( the inside wheel) is spinning more and taking more of hte load than the other one, and i am no longer sliding rather just doing a burnout.

now my understand is that i have a LSD rear diff and that it is supposed to maintain same wheelspin through both wheels at all times when the wheels are spinning ??

is there something wrong with my diff ?

simon.

basically a shim is a thin metal plate. and when u put a certain plate or plates in there it helps the diff lock..

other than this, all i could recommend is to re oil the diff...then see what happens.

most people forget to replace the diff oil every 5000kms or less..

and the diff u have is a R200 item. which is a viscous diff. from what i have read is, it spins the wheel with least resistance.

there is a DIY diff shimming thread n the Tutorials section.

My diff has a lot of backlash and its really annoying the hell out of me. I have bought some 1.05mm shims to install in the diff. I will probably a workshop to do the work as I don't have a vice and really can't be bothered to be honest. I want to replace the diff bushes while I'm at it but am unsure if I will be able to do this with the subframe still in the car without too many hassles.

I will be shimming up a second hand diff that has no backlash as the shims probably won't do any thing to help that. It also means my car isn't off the road while it gets repaired.

      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.

      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.
