Hi Guys

Hoping someone hear can help, iv been searching & reading about what diff the R34 Gtt manuals came with, half of the information I have read states it is a Viscous & the other half states it's a Helical, the sales brochure says the manuals were Helical & the Auto's were Viscous however the sales brochure I have were for the series 2, I have a series 1 & would like to know what I have, can anyone confirm for sure if its Helical or Viscous otherwise could you explain how I can tell myself if I look at the diff?

Thanks in advance

Both. I suspect that the later ones were the helicals. I had seen that brochure as well, rubbed my hands together with glee, went and bought a diff from an R34 manual.....and it was viscous. A 4.11 viscous, just like an R33, but it was definitely from a 34.

End of page 3 - start of page 4 of this pdf shows the R34s had both either side of Aug 2000, although it is a little hard to work out what transmissions they refer to. The auto diffs are 4.083 and the manual diffs are 4.11, and you can definitely see there that they maintain there were only helical 4.11 manual diffs. http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/lsd/pdf/lsd_price.pdf

But I don't trust it!

Thanks for that using the link you provided & the below link that explains the codes marked on the name plate it looks like the series 1 came with a Viscous (R200V) & the series 2 came with a Helical (R200H)

Can anyone else confirm if this is correct?

Jack it up, gearbox in neutral. A VLSD will turn the opposite wheel the same direction as the one you turn by hand, a helical will behave like an open diff and spin the opposite wheel in the opposite direction.

There are also nameplates/markings on some of the diffs with the code, and it might even be on the plate in the engine bay.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
