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.

      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.
