What do you mean you "shimmed it"?  Did you just arbitrarily jam shims in between the outside of the centre and the axle bearings?  If so, don't.  You will f**k it.

That is a mechanical LSD.  Can't really tell if it is 1-way, 1.5-way or 2-way, because you did not show a good photo of the cams (visible in the round openings in the side of the centre's casing).  You do not "shim" them.  In fact you shouldn't "shim" a VLSD either, but let's not have that argument.  The tightness of that LSD is set up INSIDE the centre.  Not outside.

Yea i know they are bad quality photos i just took them when i took it apart and I rebuilt the whole thing and put the shims inside its been running fine. I was told it was just a r200 but i just rebuilt another r200 and it was completely different. these are the only other photos I have

Well, it is "just" an R200.  But it is an aftermarket mechanical centre and I'm not sure which brand or model.

You sure its mechanical locker? Going by the photos it looks like an open. 

OP were their clutch packs underneath the spider gears or a way to lockup the spider gears?

If not you have an open diff here, you can test it by jacking up the car and getting someone to hold the other wheel. See if you can spin it. If you can and there is no resistance there you have an open centre.

I was going to say "I can't imagine how a non-LSD 4 pinion diff could get into a Skyline.  Therefore assumption is it's an LSD."

But a closer look at the one view of the end of a pinion through the opening suggests that it might be open, rather than LSD.  In which case, have you got a boat(?), because it would make a nice anchor.

In which case....oops.  I didn't look closely enough.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
