I have finally got my car few days ago. However, I have one problem… whenever I turn full right or left, there are noises like “pluk, pluk, pluk pluk…..” and the car jerks a little. Anyone knows what might be the cause? I suspect the ex owner lock the diff / LSD… Anyway, is it safe to drive at this setup?

the sound + jerk only appear when i release the cluch + turning... Cannot notice any problem when i hold down my cluch when turning... BTW whats the logic/theory behind it?

Another problem i am facing now is that when i am crusing at low speed, i can hear "gluk.. gluk... gluk..." from rear (sounds like from suspention). What might be the cause?

yeah fat if you want I'll swap you with a perfectly good normal one :-)

Btw the chances are you car has a 2 way diff which is a much tigher locking one. they take some gettign used to and are used on track cars etc they make it eaiser to drift as well.

seriously if you do want to swp I'll swap with you

Meggala,

Funny you should say that.... I've got a mechanical Cusco??? in mine and I'm thinking about swapping it for a normal one.....But if they are as good as I hear they are I might hang onto it .

It's hard for me to compare the difference betweena normal LSD R33 and a mechanical (performance wise) cause my R33 is the only one I've driven ;)

Are they THAT much better than the stock ones?

Thanks

J

Damn, now i am soo confuse... Tim from RPM told me that my diff is gone (base on the sound/ jerking) and required a replacement ($1600) but i dont think he suspect my diff might be machanical diff (btw he didnt really test my car yet.)... If i dont replace it, my car will brake down soon!! However, when i went to another machanic shop (A1), they suspect my car has diff lock like what you guys suggested, but they need an appointment to really check the car... Blah soo confuse i am.

Just drove a car with a VERY tight LSD... not nissan lsd if that's what you mean...

CLICK CLUNCK CLICK/ JERK / and on gravel all you hear is ksschcchhhh...

They grip like shit to a blanket. very nice stuff.

Don't take what I say for gospel, but it sounds like the diff's fine. just locked....

When u go round a corner your inside wheel turns slower than the outside.

If your diff was fully locked ure inside wheel would spin every corner cause the diff would be "locked" together so both wheels would be rotating the same speed.

Good for straight lines cause u get 'even' power but not good for corners and control.

Most lsd:limited slip diff cars have a viscous fluid which transferrs power but some of the hardcore fellas have mechanical which i think work something like a clutch so u actually have metal on metal whiuch would exsplain the pluk pluk pluk (the sounbd of the diff moving against itself.

Hey all the actual mechs outthere correct me if im wrong:uh-huh:

Its a mechanical thing a welder can lock a diff just fine:)

Get a ball point pen that "kliks" notice the little piece of plastic that wont move when pushed "twist" lightly but will when u push"twist" hard.I think thats how it works

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
