hey guys

i have a 1996 R33 series 2 GTS (non turbo) & when i go out for a slide (drift) it tends to easily lock up both wheels turning right, but left nearly always singles..

is this because it is a LSD that has worn pratically too a OPEN wheeler?

i also know these came optional LSD from factory.. how would you pick it from looking under the car at the outside of the diff?

bolt pattern too the driveshafts, eg. 5 bolts or 3x2 bolts?

if it is a OPEN wheel diff, i have noticed people throw GTS-T diffs in, with the driveshafts..

what else is needed besides the Diff & Driveshafts?

if these could be answer, it would be greatly appreciated guys !!!

cheers

ive been thinking of putting a lsd in my r33 series 2 gts but i thought maybe not cause in wet not traction control and an lsd would be a bad mix also dont have the money atm but i am very interested in this too so if anyone could help Thanks in advance.

Also not trying to steal your thread rmsjdm but im here for the ride :P

jack car off ground, turn wheel on one side, if the other wheel turns in the same direction then you have an LSD, if its badly worn I guess it might not

GTS-t half shafts are 5 bolt and are thicker then GTS ones. My CV's wouldnt fit on a half shaft i grabbed out of a NA R33 when I needed to get mine going.

So, if i was to put GTS-T half shafts in, so i could run the LSD diff.. the halfshaft ends wouldnt fit into my GTS CV joints?

Great question. did you ever find the answer?

Im doing the lsd conversion atm. only thing im unaware of is will the 5 bolt shafts fit in my na wheel hub. due to it being 4stud. maybe its smaller? i will find out for sure next week.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
