Has anyone fitted an LSD on this model car .. can we use complete diff from a different car that just bolt in .. open diff is sucks

3.3 from a auto 350z is probably what i will end up using think they are lsd.

Taller so might get better mileage aswell.

Hi Austin, Once you have done this , please post the results and are you sure that the 350z diff housing & mounting is the same as the gt-8 ?

youll need to have your speedo re-calibrated if you do this

Im not overly concerned about that.... i own a radar detector and cruise around at 130kph everywhere anyway.

Also my car is running 265/35/18 on the rear this is probably like nearly 30mm under size diameter wize compared to stock. I havent looked at the calculations..... could be intresting.

The factory LSDs (viscous) are not very good anyway. Probably an improvement over a truely open diff, but i'm not sure if its worth your time and effort.

You might as well grab something a bit more serious.

On that note, I have a second hand 2-way (centre only) kicking around somewhere if anyone wants it. To suit 6 speed manual. Not sure if it can be adapted to the auto or not. $400 posted. Not very street friendly but absolutely transformed the car.

I have a nismo rear 2 way nismo centre and nismo 1.5way in my PULSAR GTIR no way in hell am i putting one of those noisy clunky pos in my GT8 the stock viscous is perfectly fine for my driving with this car.

I personally do not think that there is much difference between the stock open diff and the stock viscous diff. The latter is obviously preferrable but I wouldn't bother going to the effort of fitting one.

Anyhow. I agree that a nismo unit (or similar) isnt for everyone, hence why I had mine removed.

The carbonetics 1.5 way seems nice. Friendly enough for the street. Supposedly you need to drop the oil every 5,000 kms though.

I ordered a Quaife diff close to 2 months ago, should be here soonish

Diff of choice if you want a proper LSD that wont clunk/chatter for your daily drive

also it wont ware out because quaife diffs dont use clutch plates

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
