R34 Gtt - Cuscomz 1.5 - Too Harsh For Street?

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone out there can offer some input or experience with my current dilema: Since installing a 'Cusco MZ 1.5 Way' centre my ride has become very harsh, mostly because of the diff when at low speeds/cornering/parking/angles etc. Recently the clutch plates of the diff have been re-ordered to decrease the v-ramp steepness, this change has not really decreased the harshness at low speed operation at all.

My current set up:

R34 GTT Sedan

Cusco MZ 1.5 with 140w oil+LSD Additive

Subframe bushes have just been replaced with noltec and also changed to uprated diff bushings

Rear bushings are all whiteline offsets with factory control arms

TEIN SS's coilovers

I am wondering, what can be done to eliminate the harsh movement/pinking noises that I am experiencing in the rear end of the suspension (subframe/diff/shocks etc)

Would the TEIN SS's be just too soft in terms of spring rate and thus allowing too much movement with the operation of the LSD, should I go solid diff busings and even solid subframe bushings?

BTW - Removal of the subframe is a real pain ITA, but more labour intensive than hard, so I want this to be the last time I have to take it out :(

Yes my diff centre is suited a lot more for track usage, but to have both wheels fire up on tap when needed is truly AWESOME!

So I am wondering if anyone out there has a similair set up in their street car, have experienced my dilema and have had any success with alterations or fine tuning of their setups?

Don't really want to go back to stock VLSD :worship: this would be taming the BEAST!

I prefer to use NEO oils in all cases, the NEO gear oil requires an additive to fine tune the LSD slip amount when used with any LSD application. The oil itself makes for a very harsh LSD experience.

Perhaps the oil you are using is similar, maybe you can try changing the oil or try an additive. Maybe try mix 1 part dextron into 2 part of gear oil (30ish%) and see if they frees it up a touch.

I have been using the PENRITE 140w with the 150ml additive Total $32

I have experimented with many oil types but sticking with the 140w, never the NEO oil though? at this weight they should be fairly similair I would expect in operation?

My mixture would be (diff takes 1.2 ltr's a oil) top up 1 ltr of 140w with all the additive (150ml) and fill diff, add more 140w to get the level to the filler hole so 85/15%ish mixture.

I have a Tomei 2 way in my car and its very nice to drive with. No real harshness and only a slight clunk here and there at low speeds.

Oil is a BIG factor when it comes to diffs like these. Id suggest talking with a gearbox/diff place and see

what they recommend.

For example after a weekend of hard track work i was driving the car home and it felt like the diff was about to come out of the casing, back end was wandering all over the road. Took it my gearbox/place and they changed the oil.

From memory the stuff they use is pretty good, oil and additive alone was $85, but worth every penny.

Felt like a brand new diff again :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
