I bought one r32 gtr rear diff and I don't know if it is stock or not.

I try to turn one wheel and my friend to hang the other wheel and it is imposible!!!!

I try to put off the wheel and I put a big screwdriver in the brakedisc to stop at the caliper... I try with first gear to run a little... ok it turns only the other wheel but after 1min the screwdriver gone...

My problem is that in every turn with first gear (low mph) the car do a bad noise and feel! A "duk-duk-duk-duk" and a feel that the car at the rear have a bigggg problem!!

Anyone who can help me?

My car is silvia!

Lol, I do not recommend you ever put a screw driver there to see if it will "unlock" the diff.

I have a standard R33 GTR diff and it locks as above, both wheels turn at once not one at a time.

My problem is that in every turn with first gear (low mph) the car do a bad noise and feel! A "duk-duk-duk-duk" and a feel that the car at the rear have a bigggg problem!!

I had my diff loosened due to this, my car used to do it and it still does a little, the housing of my diff was machined to loosen the preload to prevent this, it used to make a loud clunking sound on tight corners.

You may have a diff that someone has shimmed tighter so it locks more, an aftermarket centre in your diff, OR someone welded the diff inside (as per previous posts).

A diff specialist can probably help you reduce the preload a little to prevent the bad noise, the diff probably has a lot of preload, which is fine for a track, not so good on the street. OR someone has welded it...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
