R32 Gtr Rear Diff/lsd Breaking?

[Thelen]

So I was driving home tonight in the wet and was in 3rd going around a corner to go onto the highway. Was doing maybe 60kmh when I started to let it have it. Keep in mind basically stock, yet I felt the back start to go out to relaxed off. I guess it could have been oil or something, but it is now the 2nd time something like that has happened since hitting the curb. I also notice another weird sound coming from the back, and with both bearings replaced it probably isn't them?

Anyway, is one of the symptoms of a dying box when the LSD plays up?

The car also seems a little less stable on the freeway, though that could have been wind.

Can't help thinking that would be a lot easier to understand with a rewrite. Are you complaining about the back stepping out in the wet? AWD or no, GTRs are still RWD biased and will do that you know. And the 32 GTR LSD is a simple no nonsense mechanical centre. The only connection between the diff and the gearbox is the tailshaft. So if you are asking if the symptom of a dying gearbox is that the rear diff starts to play up - then no, the diff probably isn't playing up. But perhaps if the transfer is not feeding power to the front for some reason, then yes, it will be more RWD and will step out more easily.

If anything it might be HICAS if it's not locked down

I realise GTR in the wet will step out, just haven't had it happen in 3rd at 60kmh around a fairly mild corner before

It is more a gut feeling that something isn't as stable as it should be than anything else.

Anyway, I'll get mechanic to have a look it might be hicas given the light is on (even though no fault found).

[GTSBoy]

Did you get the HICAS computer into diagnostic mode? What steering wheel do you have on the car? Does the boss have the correct drive to make the steering angle sensor work?

[Thelen]

Uhm I think it was in diag mode, the mechnics did it. He said next time he'll have to measure the individual terminals or something.

normal steering and presumably correct boss :S

How hard did you hit the curb?

[Thelen]

Hard. Had to replace a lot of the rear suspension
