heya everyone,

i have a series 3 r33 gtr non v-spec

now ever since i have bought this car. i have noticed that it feels like it has a lsd diff in it.

when i turn a corner to do lets say a 3-point turn, it will make the doo doo doo noise like the rear wheels are tryna both spin.

it has always done it. now im not sure thats why im asking you guys if u could help me out as it has me stuffed lol

so my real question is. do the series 3 come out with lsd ?? or maybe the guy in japan fitted a lsd into it ??

there is no light on the dash like the v-specs do by the way

tanks for the help in advance

chris.

You should have a LSD light in your dash, in the centre between your Speedo and Tacho.

If it is making a "doo doo doo" noise and both wheels are spinning, it might sound like you have a Lock Diff.

1 or 2 Way Lock Diff, I am not too sure...

all GTR's have LSDs (so do all GTSt's BTW)

non Vspec have a mechanical LSD diff... its got clutch packs in it so it will lock on tight turns depending on how worn the clutch packs are etc... it may have been modified to lock tighter/earlier... the Vspec diff is an electronically controlled viscous (fluid) diff (which is what the light is for on Vspecs)

mine does the same as yours in car parks etc and has not been modified... its a non Vspec... my old GTSt had a Cusco 2 way mechanical in it and it was even louder and more aggressive... but also made loud clunking sound and vibration through the driveline, I'm sure you would know if you had an aftermarket mechanical diff, they are pretty obnoxious lol

thanks for the info guys

it has the torque split bottle in the boot

That's for the ATESSA system, nothing to do with LSD/non-LSD.

GTR's had LSD on the rear's out of the factory, if you have a R33 , finned diff's are Viccous LSD, non-finned is mechanical.

I think R32 might have been the other way around.

Either way, unless someone downgraded you to non-LSD you have one :laugh:

i get a few clunks in my drivetrain (r32 gtst), like crusing in 5th gear going say 60, backing off the accelrator and going back on, even if its not heavily, the rear end seams to knock abit,

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
