hey guys,

does anyone know if theres any additive i could add to my 2 way diff to "loosen" it up?

at the moment it shakes up the rear end when i do a tight turn etc.

theres nothing wrong with the diff it self, this is what looks like inside.

i was thinking of going stock or, getting a 1 way, but i might keep this one.

dude ive got a 2 way lsd in my skyline its very agressive.when coming into corners u have to back off fairly hard so it doesnt chirp the inside wheel.when doing tight corners put your clutch in with a bit of a run up bcaus any pressure and itl lock.youll work it out with practice :cheers:

1/1.5/2 way won't change things too much....the thing that makes it sound and feel terrible is how tight the centre is. you can have a diff shop reduce the preload but then it wont work as well :D And a tight diff centre is a wonderful thing for track driving

If u reduce the preload u will also wear the discs faster.

Live with it dude, when i first got mine i initially tot it was incorrectly installed.

Some ways to live with it include.

"plan ur turns" i.e if u see a junction comming up and u need to make a turn, speed up, and clutch in on the turns.

there are ways to drive around it to minimise the noise and vibrations

hey, i was looking throught the r32gtr shop manual and found a diagram on the assemblt of the rear diff. i noticed that the plates wernt in the same order as the ones in my diff and i figured that i might be able to loosen the grip up a bit if i switch them around. the pic should explain all.

get what im talking about?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
