The basic diff itself (pumpkin, CW&P) will be pretty much just the same strength in all these LSD R200s. But the GTR diff is of course a mechanical LSD, which a) works and is b) rebuildable and adjustable, whereas the "standard" LSD in R33s is of course a viscous diff which is only useful for stopping your boat from rolling back down the driveway (ie stick it behind the boat trailer's tyre and forget you ever had it in the car).

Otherwise I agree that the splines are bigger and therefore stronger and the 6 bolt flanges are stronger and the CVs are stronger.

So what type is this "active diff" then?

Would it be a viscous or helical?

It would be neither. It would be a mechanical plate diff with an electro-hydraulic actuator to adjust the plate pressure.

--edit-- perhaps reading the sticky would help? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/268134-r33-gtst-active-lsd-information/

Are you sure? I thought is was one piece of shit apply fecal-hydraulic pressure to another different piece of shit.

There is a whole heap of faeces, excrement, poop and shit involved in the system. And some other crap.

For your benefit GTSBoy kept it simple.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
