Keep in mind the GT has a S15 rear end, so if you do get a diff, you want one that suits a S15.

In regards to Nismo, I kept digging - It seems the one I have is a 1.5 way, but acts like a 2 way. This is because when people say "1.5 way" Nismo diffs they actually mean the Nismo 1 way diff.

Or you could get a S15 Helical. General consensus is stay away from Viscous, and you'd have a hard time finding one for a S15 anyway.

so since this rear diff in the car is the stock gt version would it be considered the "open type" diff?

so this would be compatible? doesn't list r34?

I have emailed 8 different performance places that sell lsd, but none really can tell me what the car has. (had same issue with getting proper coilovers for a 98 er34 25gt)

would some part of the vin tell me exactly what the rear is?

You have an open diff. It is a normal R200. I suspect that it has 3x2 stub axles, not the 5 bolters on the turbos. This is important, because when you buy a Nismo diff, you have to get the one to suit YOUR CHASSIS, because you need the stubs to match.

It is not hard to find a search result for a mechanical LSD to suit an NA R34.

You do not want a 2-way Nismo for the street.

sounds like general consensus is that the stock GTT LSD aren't that great and an aftermarket setup would be best. this will be primarily for drift setup, little street use, so would a 2 way still not be the way to go?

Nismo 2 ways are really a 1.5 way, and their 1.5 way is really a 1 way.

In any case, remember you want S15 gear.

Yes, everyone goes aftermarket with the odd exception. My "2/1.5" way Nismo was admittedly pretty amazing to slide around on like a dickhead when ... testing. I'd say buy it, but it fits a R34 Turbo and will not fit your car as you need a S15 'compatible' diff center.

any reason I should get a  GTT rear diff and put in a aftermarket LSD instead, of putting a aftermarket LSD into my GT rear diff?

No. No reason at all. Unless you like wasting money. Just buy a new centre to suit the open diff.

The differences are in the half shafts. They are all different lengths between the different standard diff types. Open = different lengths to VLSD = different lengths to the GTR mechanical LSD. So when you buy a Kaaz or Giken or Cusco centre for an open diff, it is slightly different to the same diff intended to replace a VLSD centre, because the splines are located differently. The new centre has to work with the half shaft lengths that you have.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
