And here's where it gets funny. Just on the offchance that he has one of those chicken lips R34s with a helical LSD, then the jack it up and spin a wheel test will not prove that it is LSD. It will instead indicate that it is not LSD, even though it really has one.

But yes, unless someone has been completely retarded, then every turbo R34 has an LSD.

I always thought all R34 GT-T manuals (series 1 and 2) came with the helical torsen diff, and the auto's came with the VLSD's?

R34 GT-t S1 has a VLSD = gay

R34 GT-t S2 has a Helical = pretty damn awesome for a street car with mild power.

This attached brochure (third last page) says the manuals were helical and the auto's viscous. That being said, perhaps the NZ imports were all specified with the helical diffs.

No. Most of the manuals are viscous too. It doesn't even seem to be true that all the S2s have a helical, from what I've seen!

I know. I used to use that brochure as the basis for my belief along the same lines. But the sad reality seems to be different. I have secondhand knowledge of only 2 R34s with helical diffs. All the R34 diffs I've followed up for my own purposes have been viscous, regardless of whether they were 4.11 or 4.08.

Mine is a S2, pretty sure it has a helical diff in it. Built March 2001, factory manual etc

Is there any way of easily checking?

The back end sure feels better than the old viscous LSD in my 32, and hooks up as well as the 1.5 way mechanical diff I put in the 32 without the clunking around low speed corners.

You can feel the front end want to push straight if you are taking pretty constant corner and start to feed on the power, much like it did when I swapped the diff in the 32

The brochure linked is ONLY for s2 R34's.

S2 R34's are pretty rare to begin with. They were only made for like 6 months, Late 2000 to early 2001.

99% (no idea on the number) of R34's are S1's.

I've had both diffs (well, I had a S15 diff, but its the same center...) and I actually prefer the VLSD... when it's working as the one in my car was/is in good condition (for now).

The predictability was really quite noticeably better than the Helical diff, which likes to inside spin REAL easy, which isn't really a problem at 150rwkw with good tyres, but dial it up to 400 then try and take a corner under power and then you'll find the back end being nice and unpredictable which is quite undesirable.

I've got a r34 gtt series 2, but mine use to be a auto so the diff is a VLSD and its shit, single spinning for daysss..

I had a s15 1.5way kazz lsd i was going to fit but surprisingly its completely different. On the forum everyone says they are the same diff but NOOO..

The r34 gtt has 2 abs sensors, one on each side of the diff where the axels connect and its a short nose r200 diff housing.

The s15 has one abs sensor where the diff connects to the tail shaft hence it has a long nose housing...

SO dunno how people use s15 diffs in r34s... :verymad::verymad:

Also my car had S15 diff, and both driveshafts.

Also it was originally a N/A, so it didn't have the traction control sensors or HICAS to remove/deal with/keep working.

It also had the ABS computer from a S15 installed into it.

(it'd be far smarter to swap the center)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
