Worn R33 gtst stock LSD symptoms.

[vxsr33]

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue on heavy acceleration, notably in second gear. The car loses traction and the rear kicks out, causing the car to snake quite dangerously.

 

I'm assuming the problem is the LSD is worn because it feels as though only one wheel is losing traction therefore causing the car to swerve.

 

Checked suspension for play and everything seems fine, and booking an alignment in this weekend.

 

Car has 258rwkw and im running federal rsr in 235.

 

Any suggestions?

f**k.  My VLSD was a piece of shit with only 175rwkW.  What does that tell you?

Does it leave 2 black lines on the road or 1. This will tell you if your LSD is working or not. Mine works fine until the oil gets real hot after multiple laps on circuit. On the street it's fine. Your car wouldn't be kicking out of it was single spinning. My 2c

There is a widely held belief that the V in VLSD is for Viscous - I actually believed this for a time. I now know that it stands for Virtual - it isn't a real LSD, just a pretend one. When the going gets tough it isn't much better than an open diff.

As Molly would say, do yourself a favour and get a real LSD. You'll wonder how you survived without it.

Thanks fellas, i know the VLSD is shit, will just have to save up for a nismo 1.5 or something

From what i have seen it is only leaving one line so it's no good.

Bill if you reckon that the kicking out is unrelated then hopefully the alignment will fix it.

1 line, no good. The kicking out will be when the second wheel does actually get some drive and will be making it unpredictable. I've also been thinking about a 1.5 way but my vlsd is still doing ok,paints nice 11's on the asphalt. Eventually I will make the switch though. #Nismolife
