Okay I picked up a diff for my S15 that I am swapping an RB26DETT into. I have gathered that the diff is a 4.3 ratio and has LSD as when I spin the halfshaft both turn. Can anyone tell me if the diff is a VLSD or an LSD, is there anyway easy way to know as I want to swap in some new Redline gear oil but want to know which one to use. Here are some pics if someone can tell me it would be great. I am not seeing the viscous sticker on it but not sure if it may have fell off.

They are viscous 4.11 ratio.

Remember once you get over 260 rwkw, they'll become unpredictable.

Mine is worn though, never tried new oils.

I thought the S15 had cool helical diff anyway..

Manual s15's do the autos still had viscous think the manual s15 helical diff was 3.962:1 from memory

The Manual Helical Diff has a 3.69:1 ratio. Unless you're running the S15 6 speed (which probably won't be able to handle the power of the RB26DETT) then the ratio will be too tall.

What you probably should have done, is swap the S15 Helical centre into your S15 Viscous diff. As it's a much better centre than the viscous one... I recently changed the VLSD in my R32 to the S15 Helical centre, and it has been an awesome improvement.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
