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

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.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
