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

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!!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
