R33 S2

[triggerhappy]

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.

I thought the GSS341 and 342 were fine to use with ethanol fuels. The packaging suggests they're suitable for gasoline and gasohol fuels.

The 341/342 handle ethanol fine, and should flow over 300kw on e85 with a decent wiring upgrade.

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.

Get rid of that God awful factory viscous LSD. It's what puts amateur drivers with power into light poles.

[triggerhappy]

whats the suggestion for replacement?

[GTSBoy]

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.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

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.

[triggerhappy]

So for these what i can see you just use standard houseing and replace the centre?

Correct.

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...

[GTSBoy]

Shimming a VLSD is a f**king joke.

[triggerhappy]

A cusco adjustable centre has come up for 600$ says its adjustable from 1.5 way to 2 way. Seems for street use i want the 1.5 way

[GTSBoy]

If you want a good LSD, buy it. It will do what you want and the price is pretty reasonable. Be aware that there is additional cost to be incurred to install it into your housing.

[Joshbigt62r]

Buy the cusco. The difference is will be like night and day.

[jjman]

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.

[Blackkers]

can confirm.

I had about 10 weeks of diff-lock status and now it open wheels on boost worse than before the shims went in

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

[jjman]

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.
