1999 R34 Gtt Diff Questions

Hey all,

Not sure if this belongs in the drivetrain section or here but I thought because changing diff oil is general maintenance here would work.

I am going to do my gearbox and diff oil and while looking on here for suggestions for what oils to use I came across a few threads saying there was a difference in the LSD's for series 1 and 2 for the R34 GTT's.

I thought they all had helical LSD but a couple of threads I came across said the series 1 had a viscous LSD.

So confused right now as I am finding conflicting information.

I guess I really have 2 questions.

1. Can anyone confirm if a 1999 manual R34 GTT uses a helical or viscous LSD?

2. What would be the best oils to use for each diff?

I was going to use Motul Gear 300 for moth gearbox and diff but I

l'll hold off on buying as much as I was going to if the diff needs a different oil.

Cheers,

Andy

A series 1 GTT has a Viscous diff. Only the series 2 manuals came out with the Helical diff's.

The series 2 auto's also used a Viscous diff.

From memory i used Nulon 85W-140 limited slip diff oil in my series 1 last year.

how to tell the difference between viscous an helical?

I've been told that if you turn one wheel, the other should turn in the opposite direction (shits fkd up I know). Haven't tried it for myself though.

From memory the Helical will act like an open diff, so if you turn one wheel the other will turn the opposite direction. If you turn the wheels on a viscous diff they should turn the same direction. I also have not tested this theory.

The other way is check the code on the diff, a viscous is a R200V I think

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
