Selling a used BNR32/BCNR33/BNR34 GT-R ATS&ACROSS Carbon 1.5-way LSD.

I bought this with the intention to use it in my Silvia but I ran out of time and never got round to buying a matching set of GTR driveshafts and hubs to go with it. Hence it has been sitting in my garage in an oiled bag unused since.

For those who don't know, these are the absolute best LSDs available in the Japanese market. They are used on many top-level time-attack cars such as the Revolution, R-Magic and RE Amemiya RX-7s, Tomei S15, Amuse/Autobacs/ASM S2000s, etc. They don't chatter like metal LSDs, last way longer, are more predictable and provide faster times.

Some info from ATS:

Principal characteristics of the Carbon LSD

- More than twice the differential lock strength of metal LSDs
- Quiet operation without chattering noise
- More than twice the differential lock strength of metal LSDs
- Low initial drag resistance and durability that is more than 5 times greaterthan metal
- Acceleration control range more than 10 times that of metal LSDs
- More than 30 times the thermal decomposition resistance of metal LSDs
- More than 70 times the service life of metal LSDs
- Gentle transitional characteristics that yield ease of handling from free to lock
- Small degree of slipping which provide a greater flexibility
- Super durable
- Stable differential lock performance which is unaffected by oil temperature changes
- The performance of carbon LSD is not influenced by a choice of LSD oil
- Very high adaptability to many LSD oils from different manufacturers

Carbon LSD is recommended for those who suffer from the following problems.

- I can not pass through the clipping point ideal corner entry.
- I want to quickly open the accelerator at the rising edge of the corner.
- Control of under-over is difficult at the rising edge of the corner.
- oil temperature rises there is no durable for use at low initial.
- Time-up can not be time is not stable.
- How do I get rid of noise of LSD
- You want to keep as natural as possible handling

Reliability

ATS ran their demo S15 for 65,000km around the clock around mountain roads over six months. When they pulled down the LSD the plates still had near-new thickness and the torque of the LSD was still near-new.

"The ATS demo R34 GT-R has 140,000km on the current LSD, but the LSD is working beautifully with only oil changes. We think it can go for 200,000 to 300,000 km since there is no detectable deterioration in performance."

Someone please buy this and put it to good use as it's useless sitting my garage.

Asking $900 delivered anywhere in Australia.

Pretty interested, need a 1.5way mech lsd for my daily S15. So I would need to source GTR driveshafts and hubs as well? And they'll slot into an S15 fine? Sorry just trying to work out the total stuff I need.

Spot on. It'll be incredibly strong once you source those components and bolt it all into a Silvia. No need for the rest of the GTR bits as the S15 has the better subframe and the diff gears/casing are similar.

Ah ok, sounds alright then... do certainly like some of the features of these over the Nismo 1.5 way's I've been looking at... Do you know what exact model it is? What year it is? And how many km's it's done (I know that's not very relevant, just want to know).

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
