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 ) :(

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
