Hey guys, just got an r33 non turbo, the car is completely stock, from what i can tell the diff seems to be open, but ive read that r33's come standard with an viscus lsd ( not sure whether people were referring to gts-t's and gts' )

Which leads me to my question, do the r33 gts' come standard with an open diff?

Thanks,

Bryce.

They come with a viscous lsd from factory, its just that they are getting on now (higher kms etc) and the diffs become "lazy". In saying that my bros lsd never cracked a single (r33 gts).

Make sure that the rear tyres are exactly the same (width, brand etc). If one tyre isnt a grippy as the other it will be more inclined to bake one wheel.

      I guess you can guess the reaction when I said maybe I should cut my losses with her.  I didn't but sometimes you know, I might think that... On a more positive note. At least R33's are worth something now, so it's not a total loss.

      Mine said exactly this, your boy here pumped like $40k+ into it. Smart, follow me for more investment advice. #buyhighselllow

      Agree about euros.  Pulling apart is so much quicker than putting back together. Made worse when it's been a while and you can't remember everything. Any modified part seems to always be a pain to reinstall too and complicates things. There's not too many mods on my car but those that are caused difficulties. Simple things like the radiator that should just drop in, needed some finesse and additional time to manoeuvre in, same with oil cooler plumbing, head drain etc. Simple things seemed to want to fight me the whole way. Stupid standard intake plenum didn't help either. After nearly finishing everything, I saw the 2 knock sensor plugs and cold start valve plug hanging there. Was able to contort my hand enough and looking at an internet pic of valve, was able to just get the plug on and seated. Front knock sensor was similar, the rear however I can't even see. Going to have to remove starter motor to create access. FML. I've consumed that many cans of V in the last few work sessions that I should get a sponsorship. edit, I did the same with the mic and bore gauges. Spent many hours, it's one of those things that you get better at and more confident the more you use them. There was also so many hours spent searching, just to try and source valves and valve guides. I think I spent more time on trying to source valve guides than actually measuring and assembling the motor.

      For me a few things compounded the issue.  - Wanting to learn a few aspects, such as hand lapping valve seats (10hrs-20hrs) - Wanting to balance the rotating assembly down to 1g on cast parts, (15hrs easy) - Not knowing this wack FWD platform, 10hrs to remove to remove the subframe/engine etc - Having never used mic or bore guages etc, thinking I was doing it wrong, finding out 2 rods were oval and I was correct (10hrs easy).  And the list goes on, each shed session was 60-90mins so it takes a lot of them On the contrary, when I sold the CA/Box/ECU it was 3hrs to remove, split, put on a pallet solo having never done it before.  This is the reason that the XR5 will get sold and I will go back to a JDM daily. Euro stuff is painful to work on.
