Just trying to find out if a LSD is a standard part in the 94 manual R33's as ive read around a bit and a lot of people seem to be looking 4 them, as they say they dont have 1. Yet mine seems to have 1 already and jus trying to work out if its standard or a replacment???

Or maybe its jus been welded up as it throughs the car side ways pretty vicsiously (did i spell that right?)

Anyways not complaining as i luv it but just interested.

Cheers

turbocharged r33 gtst came with lsd standard as far as i know

ive been through 2 stock lsd centers, the one im on now is screwed, i get stuck on steep driveways with one wheel in the air spinning and the other one doing nothing. they do tend to wear out if you give them a hard life so that could be one reason why everyones lookin for them.

mechanical lsds are not a standard item and are fairly noisy so if you diff is noisy as you turn corners tightly at low speed then theres a good chance you have a mechanical lsd

quickest way to tell if your diff is a lsd is to look on the housing for an orange sticker telling you so.

Cool thanks man will check it out. As far as i can tell its not noisy when cornering tight but then again the car came with a 4" cat back exhaust and is bloody loud so maybe thats blocking it out?

Also was mucking around with a boost controller the other day and stupidly hooked it up wrong, my gauge was reading 1 and a half bar but the engine didnt fault at all, no fuel cut no backfire no audible detonation jus seemed to take it noramlly besides the bov being loud as hell and 2nd gear smoking it like it thought it was 1st. Ive read around a bit and a lot of people seem to incurr cuts at around 14psi why would this engine be any diff?? as far as i know its stock i had a chat with the people i bought it off and they jus say the engine is in good order....

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
