The standard gtr diff is a 2 way? Im confused :down:

yes it is. but it doesn't have as many clutch plates as a common aftermarket 2 way. so it's much more liveable on daily driving, doesn't clunk etc and needs more torque generally before it locks.

you can convert a starndard 32 GTR diff to what is effectively a nismo 2 way for about $200 with a kit from nismo.

But you cannot get a TT for a GT-R.

Are you sure about that Richard? I got quoted one by Greenline.. But I choked and got the Pro because I wasn't sure if the TT was going to be man enough.. I'm pretty sure they are available for the GT-R, and in hindsight, probably what I should have got for a more streetable diff that still hangs on..

The pro has adjustable preload. It's as streetable as you want it to be. Mines the model below that so permanently uber tight. great on the track, and exactly as beer baron described on the street.

Turns out they do now offer one. Sorry for my old info. I couldn't find one last year when I looked.

i have a nismo 2 way in the silvia. you are welcome to test it out chubbs. it's a farkin pig of a thing around the streets. it clunks like buggery and sounds like your whole car is about to fall apart! or alternatively it will chirp tyres. BUT on the track it's awesome. very predictable which is exactly what you want. :)

hahahha i have a nismo 2 way aswell, noisy, clucky, everyone looks at my car like its about to fall apart but i LOVE it and id never replace it with anything else in the world

:P:D:D:D:D:wub::wub:

Richard, yeah would love to have a drive :D

I drove a work mates sprinter with a two way around my area, and yeah, I totally now know what you guys mean about the car about to fall apart!!!

But if its great on the track - I dont care bout the street ;)

^^^ lol evil bish...

You have already driven a shimmed 32GTR (nismo kit) 2 way, the zed has one... Although once we changed the oil (drag day) it got clunkier and less street friendly then the old oil which was lets say.... extremely overdue!!!

I new to learning about Diffs. I have a R32 GTS-T. I do daily driving, dont race but do like to go fast on the highway and take tight corners on the street. Do I need a upgraded Diff or is the stock one fine? I rode in a R32 GTS-T that had a 2way Diff and it was loud and clunky. I don't want this, is there a way to get a upgraded Diff and not have this annoying sound and clunkiness. Girlfriend wouldn't like it either. Laugh

Well the best advice you will get is to stop driving like an idiot on the road and take your car to a track.

Apparently when a car gets impounded it doesn't really matter what type of diff it has.

Typically girlfriends don't much like having to walk everywhere either.

im inthe same boat as 335 have only just purchased my first skyline (r32) and im loving it, but now im looking at taking it to the tracks for drift days and all that! I know that i need one but what sort is the question, i still drive the car on the streets and the majority of my driving is done in the car so something thats not to bad but will give me the control i need<br /><br />cheers josh

The fundamental problem is that what works well on the track is usually far too harsh for the road & what is nice to drive on the road is inadequate for the tracks.

Having said that check the Nismo GT Pro LSD TT range (or whatever the most recent stuff is called) as they are the nearest I have found to a reasonable compromise.

I'm running the Cusco RS 2 way in my car now... and let me say that it has done more for rear end grip than any other mod so far... that includes shocks, pinapples, camber adjustment and good tires...

it will try and turn the inside wheel whilst parking and doing tight turns on the street and will clunk a little when cold, but none of the harsh banging that I have experienced with some of the more agro diffs... once you adjust your driving style to suit ie stay off the throttle and 'coast' when you have lots of steering lock on its fine...

it is the more street friendly of the Cusco range as it uses springs to lessen the shock... the MZ is the agro one

At DECA (motokhana) I have also had to change driving style... where once I could do a handbrake turn whilst staying in 2nd (it would light up the unloaded tire which would bring the revs up and I could power away) now it just grips and bogs and I need to use 1st gear... once it is out sideways tho it feels much more controllable, and most importantly much quicker

the whole 2 way thing hasn't been an issue yet but I haven't been onto a proper track... it will lock the rears if you downshift too harshly but that kinda helps turn in lol

Are these the right numbers and what the difference...8kg/12kg???

3843S-RS520 - 8kgf spec

3843S-RS521- 12kgf spec

yeah I think I posted it earlier in the thread maybe? Spewing, I've had one on my desk for months, but I just posted it off to another user here last week!

lol, the ol sneaky edit while I was posting trick! not sure if they are right but they should be if you found it in one of my other posts. the difference i believe is the preload.

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
