highflow sounds like the go. Only thing is i need quick turn around as its a daily for my mrs with no other car so will have to get another turbo and send it off seems from the site about $900. Pretty reasonable and those graphs seem to be spot on for street use.

Are you sure your missus wants that kind of power? Even 250 would be a handful in the wet...

Was going lower boost in winter or even when she drives it. In saying that she has pretty good control with the foot and is actually very good at getting the car up and going. Not one to just flatten it actually feels what the car is doing. She drove my manual LS1 before and that was a pig to drive. I do understand turbo is a different car but to be honest i have more chance of coming unstuck than she does.

Pretty sure on the avcr you can actually turn boost down in certain gears.

I pretty much only drive it after i do something to it or someone else does.

Nismo GT diffs are great for daily driven cars.. they allow you to adjust the torque when it engages too.

I personally now run a 2 way KAAZ however the car is a street/track car and not daily driven.

A real diff. Quaife or other helical/torsen centre. Nismo or other brand 1, 1.5 or 2 way mechanical, depending on how street/track the car is intended to be.

After doing a lot of reading a lot of people are saying shimming the diff is fine. The LSD in it is pretty tight and predictable from the very little driving i have dont of it..

What is everyones opinions on shimming?

Seeing as its purely a daily driven car.

Also going to leave it at the power it has now and get a track car it looks like. Mrs suggestion not mine. She must of had a good day...

id say drive the car first and see how the diff is behaving. also in relation to your driving style and power levels you are achieving.

An R33 VLSD in good condition isn't a bad bit of kit and if it working fine then I don't see the point in throwing money at a diff. There are always plenty of places to throw money at a skyline. Id throw money at good tyres and suspension before changing out a diff that was performing ok.

If there was an unlike button I would unlike this. A VLSD is only useful in an NA Pulsar.

hey, don't get me wrong. I love a better diff. Ill have a better diff. But when there is usually always something to have money spent on in a skyline then jumping at this one unnecessarily its just not something id recommend. If he was going to be tracking a lot, then yeah for sure do it.

As is said, id go for tyres n suspension upgrades before a diff if the stocker is working ok.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
