hey all, was up at winton on the wknd and found when getting on the gas out of corners i had one wheel spinning. Car has kei office coilovers and i didnt have this prob with previous suspension setup. Was running some 16inch street tyres that seemed to be holding on way better than i thought they would. How do i fix this?....

1. New or second hand active lsd diff.

2. New lsd diff centre?

3. Decent swaybars in rear?

4. Different suspension with more travel?

or something else?...........

thanks heaps!

If you put stiffer springs in the rear, then you'll have less squat and therefore less grip for putting power down, but as long as you havent gone too far with spring rate, it should still improve lap times due to the improvement in cornering.

If you've lowered the car too far so its running too much negative camber at the rear, that can also compromise power down.

But, if you are single spinning it out of the corner then you'll need a diff rebuild, at which time you could think about stiffening up the LSD with shims to create more pre-load. There's some posts about it - try searching here, or maybe in the DIY section.

Also think about installing pineapples in the 'grip' orientation.

Hey brett you will find diff's on their way out will tend to start singling when you are getting the power down out of corners, though will have no problem chalking the both of them up from standing start (burnout)

I believe you will be able to get away with just shimming it up.

Buying a second hand diff could be a gamble.

Go buy some pineapples and rear camber arms and you will be more then happy.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
