I was watching the drifting going on at Eastern creek last night , and i saw a r33 skyline non turbo drifting he did have alot of trouble with his single spinner, but towards the end he got alot better, he also stock suspension by the looks of it.

I was thinking about throwing on some coil overs and a turbo r33 lsd heard the gear ratios were the same.

Anyone ever installed the GTST LSD on a n/a? does it handle alot better?

The ratios are different, the GTST diff has a longer ratio.

Also the stock diff if a viscous diff which pretty much all of them are worn out and will just single peg all day long. you could shim it to lock it a bit more. there is a thread in the DIY section about it people have had good results

What car are you planning to do this with?

If you have a 33 ratios are the same for NA or turbo but it depends on if you get an auto or manual diff.

If you're planning it for a 31 which is the only car you have listed then it's a lot more involved.

If Jap Spec IRS They run an R200 Longnose diff which isn't just a simple swap. You'd probably need to do the whole subframe etc with custom mounts, custom tailshaft etc.

If Aus spec live axle you will need to do the same as the Aus specs run a Borg Warner diff which is entirely different. Kaaz offer an LSD centre for these diffs or you could use a cone type LSD out of a Sillhouette though I don't think they are particularly strong.

Haha i just edited that part of my profile as you were posting, Yeah i have a r33 non turbo. i think the auto diffs have a 4.3 something ratio, which is higher then the manual ones.

Yep autos are 4:3, manuals 4:1

If your car already has an LSD shimming it is your cheapest option. If it's a single spinner then you'll need to source an LSD centre and probably shim it.

If you post your VIN in the VINS you want fasted thread in General automotive discussion it'll tell you if your car is a GTS25/S which will have an LSD or just a normal natro which won't.

I also have a R33 S1 and well looks like there are a few of us that are in the same boat. Now which do you guys think is best? shim or just solid weld the diff? Why do you prefer the weld or the shim? and what prices would one expect to pay to get the diff welded or shimed? I do not know much about a diff except how it operates. Any advice would help

Shimming costs more and retains some form of LSD depending how "tight" you go. Welding it is as simple as well welding the spider gears lol.

Get a mate that's handy with a welder and give him a bottle of spirits (as payment), down side is its illegal and very easy to see/hear on the street.

      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.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
