Rear Lsd Not Acting Like It Should

[BIT SUS]

hey all. Was hoping someone could provide any information on what the hell my diff is doing.

R33 GTR - non V-spec

Redline Heavyweight shockproof oil.

Rear diff, when one rear wheel gets slightly airborne, it spins, but under power in carparks, it skids...

what the??!!

I just wanna put power to the ground!

anyone?

That's how an LSD works dude.

Judging by the sounds, it works perfectly.

What're you complaining about?

[bigmikespec]

Yeah it sounds farked dude... buy mine

[blind_elk]

Is this while one side of the car is jacked up?

And why is the car "under power in carparks" so that the rear wheels lose traction?

[Dorigecko]

Maybe he's concerned about it when he's stuntin' wit da do's open? furreeals.

Hi Nigel. From your post its hard to understand what the issue is, but it might just be the way you explained it. I recently put lightweight shock proof in my stock gtr diff and had issues. Basically when i was trying to corner or park the car, the rear of the car would shudder and the diff would feel like and open one. It felt like the oil wouldn't let the diff bind up. i put motul back in, and the problem cleared up instantly. Maybe drop the redline oil and try something else and see if it solves your problem.

I thought shudder = tight diff, not loose one. I was told that shockproof will give you more shudder, but that's because it increases the friction between the plates like a tighter diff would have. Makes sense in that many use it to compensate for loose synchos as well.

Not supposed to use Shockproof in LSDs, it doesn't have the LSD additive.. I've heard of GTR LSDs locking up in low speed situations like around roundabouts with shockproof in them, I run Redline 75w90 gearoil in my rear factory LSD and don't have the issues you speak of.

+1. Wrong oil can make the diff shudder/tighter...

Lol, not that tight

Use the redline gear oil 80W140.

Dont use shockproof your car wont move at low speed & full lock! You will need to flush it properly too, otherwise you will still have a few problems.
