Hey

I am wondering if anyone can help me out and give me some infor on the Nismo Pro LSD which is currently fitted to my R33. At the moment the diff is acting like a locker and when i turn corners the rear wheels chirp and/or rattle the rear end.

Is there anyway i can adjust the diff so that it does make the rear wheels chirp when i turn corners?????

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob

OK, looking at the diff from the drivers side, you have to undo the bolts that connect the axle and the stub axle and lever out the stub axle that enters the diff with a screwdriver. Then you can adjust the diff with a 19mm socket on a small extension. Their are 3 adjustments for varying amounts of "lockup." Low (68.6 N-m) is at 1/4 to the hr. Mid (93.1 N-m) is at 12 O'Clock, and High (137N-m) is at 1/4 past the hour.Turn the 19mm socket to make the desired setting.

Hope that helps Rob. I have the written instructions here in Japanese. If you need more help, I can scan the instructions for you.

Could you scan the instructions for me? Ive got the GT Pro LSD too, and ive never seen the actual instructions for how to adjust it. :P

As for the chirping...its a mechanical diff. :rofl: Either push the clutch in around corners, or get used to it....

Hi guys, these are the instructions for adjusting the Nismo LSD Pro.

Hope they help.

Are the Nismo Pro LSD good for daily driver, track and drift car as I was looking at getting one?  

Also which version 1.5 or 2.0 way and does it improve traction as I need some help with my 270rwkw?

Hi Reedy, If you want to do Drift, get a 2 way diff but if you want to do track as in Circuit get the 1.5 way.

Ian

hmmm...I've tried adjusting mine a few times but does not seem to be locking it any tighter..

As far as I know the 2way GT-lsd pro comes out of the box torqued at MID setting...

Has anyone with this lsd successfully tightened theirs, while on the car, to the High setting?

Hi guys, a quick lesson in diff terminology.;

1 way only works for power on, no power on = no locking

2 way works the same for power on and power off, it is locked

1.5 way locks on power on, but only "half" locks on power off.

So, 2 way is good for drift as you want slide ability/predictability on power on and power off. The locking on power compromises the turn in response a little (it wants to go straight ahead), but that doesn't matter as you should arleady be sideways.

We find 1.5 way best for circuit work as you don't want the diff locking and unlocking (100%) as you work the throttle to control the power. dodge other cars, adjust the line etc. The "half" locking on power off is good for turn in (no understeer), plus it adds a little anti lock to the rear brakes for cars with no ABS. This makes trail braking a lot easier.

We don't use a 1 way in rear drive cars, however they are usefull in front drives or in the front diff of a 4wd. Particularly front drive rally cars, where understeer can be a problem.

So whether the diff is a 1 way, 1.5 way or 2 way makes no difference to power on oversteer or wheelspin as they all work the same in that condition.:mad:

  • 2 weeks later...

Is the "through the output shaft hole" adjustment of preload unique to the Nismo LSD, or do Cusco or others use this? I have only ever come across plate type LSD's where adjustment means dismantling and plate swapping. Cheers.

reverse??

1 way = locks on acceleration

1.5 way = locks on acceleration, half locks on decelleration

2 way = locks fully on both acceleration and decelleration

who cares if it locks in reverse!? why the hell would u be going in reverse...

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
