My NA 32 obviously has no limited slip and i tend to drive it pretty hard at times.. spotted this on ebay recently:

worth getting?

That's assuming it hasn't been worn out and single spinning already (which from what I've read viscous LSDs tend to turn into quicker), a GTR mechanical LSD I think bolts straight on but im not sure

much better off buying a used R32 GTR center. they are 2 way mech diff and last a long time and when they do wear out they are cheap to rebuild to new. not sure they will just bolt in, but if you just used the centre it could just fit in your housing. depedns what diff the R32 NA comes with from factory. I'm not sure. GTR rear is R200, but be aware there are a few different types of R200.

A decent LSD will transform your car but I don't know if an NA RB20 (or even RB25) has the power to really make use of it.

seems to have just enough go for some use, if i do get an LSD it will be cheap or it just wont happen :thumbsup:

Took the 32gtst VLSD diff that came out of my skyline (replaced with a Nismo 2-way), chucked $10 worth of shims in there, paid my diff guy $200 to set it up for backlash (new centre in to different housing as I needed to keep the stock gears), had to use the GTSt axle flanges.

Tight as fk LSD for bugger all (nothing compared to the Nismo diff!!), has worn in a bit and no longer carries on turning at low speed but still lights both wheels very predictably.

If you're just shimming up a centre and putting it back in to the same housing, as long as you get the alignment shims back in the correct order, it shouldn't need the attention of a specialist.

So, if you won that diff for $41.50, throw another $10 at it and you've got a cheap, tight, LSD :)

cheers for the advice, i lost the diff on ebay by a few dollars at the last minute :angry: the guy had an auto bid on up to 41.50

No probs, just keep an eye out for a lazy stock VLSD.

You will need to get the axle flanges with it though as I'm 99% certain (at least it was with my open centre) the splines that go in to the diff are smaller than the VLSD items. The PCD of the bolts should still match the driveshafts though.

buy it and shim it, you can get the shims from nissan and install them yourself befor you install the diff, it will cost ya bugger all, i think the shims are 12bux each and you need too plus 2, 1L bottles of diff fuild. And thats it!! i did it to my old s13 drift car... worked a treat!!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
