I had a modified R200 diff in my 32 gts and it would click as it was nearly at the point of locking. This usually happens when doing slow speed tight turns under very light throttle.

I put the stock R180 back in and apart from it not having much limo effect any more it also clicks but no where near as loudly.

These are normal sounds from any mechanical LSD that uses dry clutch plates instead of a viscous fluid to lock the centre under load. They are adjutable by simply putting more shims in the centre to tighten the clutches.

Just go the mini spool it's much better

Hey West,

The clicking noise is the inside wheel skipping forward in tight turns. The diff locks up forcing the inside wheel to move at the same speed as the outside wheel.

The internals of the diff are swapped into the stock diff housing so that the driveshafts, tailshaft etc aren;t affected.

Are you sure its the diff?

Can you descibe the noise almost like a small ball bearing being dropped into a heavy still tin?

Reason i ask is that im pretty sure my car has a std diff, and from the day i bought the car it makes this slight click noise when i take off from stationary. Had it checked out a few times and two mechanics havce said its fine. Mayve CV noise???

If it were the mech diff making the noise as a few have mentioned, wouldnt you feel the diff locking up with the chassis crabbing a little???

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
