R34 Gtt Lsd

[stranger12]

I have read few posts and all suggesting r34 gtt has lsd , right ?

the way to verify would be jack up the back and spin one wheel ? but I guess that may give false results as lsd kicks in at certain power or range if i am correct ?

[dermy]

Yup gtt has an lsd

Jack car up.. Spin one wheel and other should spin.. If it does now get someone to hold the other wheel while you spin one and it should be reasonably hard to spin that would indicate its in a okay condition

Do a burn out or sick drift. That's all that matters.

Not spinning wheels in the air on a jack.

Who cares about that?

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.

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.

Until you pop a wheel in the air

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?

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!

[JustinP]

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.

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.

S1 manual R34 GTT here. Definitely viscous LSD

[Chris32]

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

[Chris32]

Just did a quick search and mine spins the opposite wheel in the opposite direction when jacked up, I remember doing that when I changed the diff oil

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...

[GTSBoy]

The diff is not the housing.....

[Kinkstaah]

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)
