Hey yeah It's a viscous type diff. I was hoping to ad the extra plates thu never came with to make it last longer.

I'll try Nissan cheers

Why don't shim it? Got Afew things to buy so just was fix this diff up for the minute.

Cheers

If your diff is a viscous one, do not "shim" it. Abandon the idea as a bad one. Save up for a real diff. If your diff is a mechanical one, why don't you contact a diff workshop? Yellow pages.

Or if your diff housing permits, drop in a R34 or S15 Torsen diff. Practically zero maintenance as it does not utilise clutch plates as mechanic diffs use. However does behave a like an open diff when 1x wheel is off the ground.

Everyone who has said "I shimmed my viscous diff and made it great" is ignoring the fact that you CANNOT shim the bit that matters. The bit that matters is the viscous cartridge. It's sealed up. You put shims on the outside and all you do is add pre-load and wear in places where it isn't supposed to have it.

Viscous diffs are great in low powered FWDs, and maybe in stock low powered Skylines for a few years. But they're not worth playing with as a serious option for anything else.

I'm doing this right now. S15 centre into R32 housing (with 4.11 gears added). It's at the diff shop getting the CW&P set up today.

Only trouble with using S15 centre is getting S15 3x2 bolt half shafts (have to use the shafts that suit the helical centre because the normal ones don't fit). So I had to get some S15 driveshafts too. At least if you get R34 helical you get all Skyline style stuff. But I couldn't find one for sale that I could be sure was helical. I bought one, but turned out to be viscous.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
