Where'd you guys pick up the OS Oil from? I'm changing diff ratio and keen to give it a try

Changing diff ratio? You going shorter?

I got mine from RHD but a quick google search will give you a heap of places to source it from.

Nah I had 4:3 which was good on a stockish 25 but now with the 3 litre it's way to short so going a 3:9 and see how that goes

Ah goodo. I was going to say, surly you didn't need a shorter ratio with the 3.0. Good move!

Does anyone know the best place to purchase a nismo 1.5 way? And what other diff options are there besides kaaz and nismo?

I've heard the nismo is more a bit more quiet so im leaning towards that but on the other hand I've heard kaaz is more servicable and has local rebuild support.

How long do the clutch packs last?

This will be going on my r33 gtst which gets driven 4 or 5 times a week and will hopefully see the drag strip and a few skidpan days soon, and hopefully the track in the future.

Diffs will last if you don't constantly abuse them with track use. Mine has been too probably about 20 track days and still locks up hard then power is down.

Also whatever you do, do not pour Redline Shock Proof oil into a clutch pack mechanical LSD. I saw one for sale not long ago where it was filled with the smurf's blood.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
