the shimming dosent work well in a viscus diff ive been told by some diff exprts who build them for race cars.

Chris they s13 diff will bolt in 100% some of them use the skyline 5 bolt driveshafts as well, the only think i need to check is the bolts for the hicas rack as not many s13 have the hicas and the rear of the diff may be different

The Unique diff upgrade is still the std viscous diff so can only assume its been re-shimmed?!?!

R31Nismoid do you mind doing me a favour and PM'ing me the price and time to re-shim the std diff, i want to give the car a run down the qtr and a functioning diff would be nice.

Just got to find one at the right price, $1000 for a "i think its a..." is the best i can do. Another guy with a Nismo 1.5 for $500 stopped returning my email when i wanted to pick it up...and freight costs for a new diff from Japan make it too expensive, plus where i dont need to im trying not to lean on friends that have been helping me out with favours & parts so a re-shim is looking good. Patience is a virtue im told.

Clint, so your sure a S13 diff will bolt in no probs? Reason I ask, I can get a Nismo 2 way of a S13, with 5 bolt half shafts for a reasonable price. If you can confirm, I will most likely go down this route

P.S - haven't forgot about the carton I owe you, you gonna be home tomorrow night after about 7?

Cheers, Chris

chris im 99% sure they go in no probs, to only diff is they dont have the hicas mounts now you should be able to swap the rear cover plate with your std diff and all will be sweet, but without looking at them side by side i dont wont to give a deffinate answer

Chris32,

Don't know if this of any interest to you but in the near future I'll be removing my LSD and swaping it back to a stocker since I'm not doing any more track days and it's not really what I want for street use. ( Yes I'm getting old ).

I pulled the back cover off to check the condition of the diff in general and to determine what brand it was when I got it ( it was sold to me ex Japan as a Cusco 1.5 way ? ) and it turned out to be an ATS ( Active Traction Systems, Japan ) 1.5 way which was an extremely cool finding considering the ATS centre kit alone goes for around $1,800. plus shipping and fitting.

Anyway, I'll be looking to get my money back in the sale which is $1,000

It's in my R32 GTS-T at the moment but keep your eyes on the parts for sale page.

Sorry if this is what's considered hijacking a thread ( I really don't understand all these terms ) :(

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
