R33 Gts-t Viscous Diff Better Than Ever

Previously with my high flow and around 280 rwkw I found the stock diff single spinning HEAPS, especially in 1st and 2nd.

I mean floor it and I'm facing the foot path in a second. Third was just damn dangerous if I was in a hurry.

Strangley now, with 335 rwkw, no one's touched the diff and I can launch the car from stand still with high rpm and she'll just smoke up and stay straight.

Traction is noticely much better than ever and the car won't kick out anymore at all in any gear.

If anyone has an explanation for this I'd like to hear it. :)

Cheers.

More load is more bite, As the lsds wear they require more savageness to lock up, big clutch kick

Mine is similar, powering out of a corner it will not lock up, only a clutch kick will lock it up, It what ud call a lots of slip differential

Time for shimming, rebuild or replacement

The way you described what was happening seems ass about.

If your car is going sideways on launch it will be spinning both wheels as neither have traction to keep the car straight.

If your car is now going straight on launch, I'd say only one wheel is spinning, because the non spinning wheel is the one keeping you pointed down the road.

huh?

single spinner = sideways...

on my stick diff i would crabwalk 3rd with 300rwkw

now with the mech locker i am always straight

That's what I thought.

How could a car stay straight with all the power on one wheel.

Doesn't make sense.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Last track day I felt very unstable around corners.

Anyway problem will be solved soon..

I've got a Nismo PRO GT 1.5 TT sitting in my boot,

thanks to Nathan at High Octane Racing.

Great price.

that's what i am running.... is your car street driven? it is the quietest diff ever!

just remember to break it in properly and change the oil

I'm a builder and need heaps of tools. I did actually take it to work for a while as my work vehicle died.

Nail guns behind the seats, saws, planers etc in a crate in the boot between the subs.

All the other tradesmaen thought it was hilarious watching me pull out all the gear from the boot, the back and front seats every day, then changing clothes before I get in. Not very practical but comuting was the best part of the day !

My R33 is not my daily, occasional afternoon drives and say 4 track days a year.

I'll go for a cane evey so on in the national parks. No cops., just cyclists. They love me. :D

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
