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 ) :(

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
