GTRsean Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 r32 gtst has a mechanical 1.5 way diff. It uses a clutch pack in the diff to limit wheelspin. Over time clutches wear out especially if diff oil is not changed very often. Some later models like 33 gts-ts used a viscous diff (thick syrupy oil that gets thicker the more you try to move it so it basically locks the diff if one wheel spins.

skyhigh! Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 [ so what would be better? to replace wit a 33 if it fits or just get another second hand 32 diff?

GTRsean Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Get another diff and check the pre load on when it locks up of get your one rebuilt. If ya want more lock get em to put in more clutch disks into the stack for more tension (more positive locking).

skyhigh! Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 ok am confused now. the dude at the diff shop said if it were viscous he can rebuild it but cant guarantee how long it will last. and he said if it were mech just to go get another one for bout 350. just trying to work out what would be better value for money?

GTRsean Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Damn. Oh well can't be right all the time. Good thing someone else said something. Put can you put a 32GTR diff in. I'm sure they are clutch because it's in the parts breakdown.

Waldo Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 go buy a Kaaz 2 way mate youll love it....standard r32 diffs are viscous Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/87765-mechanical-or-viscous/#findComment-1584193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinTheHapyPig Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 well, you have 2 choices, rebuild the viscous, or go aftermarket (which means buy a mechanical lsd). Aftermarket will be much better and will last longer than a reconditioned viscous. Garage-13 sell the Kaaz ones for a good price ~$1,100 for a brand new mechanical lsd 1.5way or 2way http://www.garage-13.com/diffs.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/87765-mechanical-or-viscous/#findComment-1584201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
