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

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,

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
