I changed my diff oil using Castrol Synthetic LSD oil (got mine at supercheap) you need 2 litres (takes about 1.6) at $30 odd per litre.

Diff is quiter and car slides more predictably well worth the effort. Fill and drain Plugs came out OK, you will need a oil gun to pump in fluid.

duncan, iv'e the old unlimited diff problem as well, actually should make it an unpredictable unlimited 'ish' slip diff :D

what kind of info have you got on diff replacements? only thing ive seen was the upgraded one from UAS, but at $1200 exchange it looks a little too expensive at this point in time!!

I've found myself a second hard, v tight diff for $500.

Unfortunately its from a non-abs car, apparently they just unbolt the centre and wack it into my car.

If you don't mind a tight diff, call importers and wreckers, and ask them if they have a diff that a customer hated and made them change back to stock :D

true, good point!! will look into it when i get some dosh, will make a bit of difference on the track, way to much spin out of the corner!!

would there be a difference in the abs and non abs diff's?? mines non abs, do you know what kind of difference that would make on the track, mostly is if you actually locked up, or do they brake better in general?

The difference between ABS and non ABS equipped cars is the sensors on the housing for the rear driveshafts (I assume Skylines have 4 channel ABS?) that measures wheel speed, or lack of in the case of it being locked.

So if you dont have ABS then no point getting an ABS diff as it wont equip your car with ABS without all its sundry items.

My diff is noisy as hell, oil gets changed regularly with Mobil, but makes no difference to noise.

Any oils out there that are renowned for shutting things up?

found out little about my new diff today, its a full 1 way race item :D

I'm just getting the centre swapped into my diff, it came of a skyline with 4 channel ABS (sensors on the half shafts) whereas mine is 3 channel with sensor on the driveshaft

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
