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.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
