R34 Gtr Non V-spec Rear Diff

Hi everyone,

I'm chasing some clarification on the rear diff in a non V-Spec R34 GTR. I've read countless threads and spec sheets which refer to them as a "conventional mechanical diff". Are they supposed to be an LSD or open diff?

My reason for asking is I had the back end of my GTR up on stands earlier in the week, and when I spun one wheel clockwise, the other spun anti-clockwise. To my knowledge, this would suggest it's on open diff? I could have sworn all GTR's are supposed to have a limited slip rear?

I've found a few things wrong/not as advertised with my car lately and it's starting to piss me off....

Cheers

Yep a VSpec is not actually as good as the base model GT-R if you intend of changing diffs etc. It'll cost you a pile of time/effort/money... Most of us have found this out the hard way lol.

So don't worry about that little decal on the rear end, it's far more headache than it's worth!

Just like me....... good luck with finding one!!

They always come up in bulk.. Nothing for 2-3 months and then BAM - half a dozen selling all at once.

Even talk to someone like Import Monster - where front cuts are coming in, there are rear ends that usually don't get brought in, so they can be sourced

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
