a mate recons i have a two way diff ! the reason for his thinking is becuase since iv had my car there was a slight knock when accelerating and backing off so we jacked up the car to see if there is any slack ,

we noticed i have a new tailshaft and the movement in the diff is normal.

so for the test drive !!

my car never spins one wheel it just lights up both wheels instantly and if you back off the trottle it will still slide for a bit before full traction is gained.

it does not skip during tight turning (like a mini spool would) unless i power on a bit .

also if i boot it to beat an amber light and back off to turn the car will go into a slid every time even if i back off of a curve in the road ,

i have only driven one car with lsd before but it never acted like this one , it reminds me a bit like when i had a vn with a welded diff ???? but as i said this one doesnt skip when turning sharp ,

Sounds like a 2-way to me. Just get the revs up to 5-6k then release the throttle. You should be able to hear the diff working.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
