as far as I know all R33 has LSD factory standard :wacko:

my r33 GTS-4 had LSD and 4WD :yucky:

if you are not sure Just hoist up the car then turn one of rear wheel, if the car has LSD then the other side wheel should turn opposite direction.

cheers

take it for a test drive, and pop the clutch.. easiest way to test any car if it has lsd..

single spinners = no LSD

sideways, counterlocked + loads of smoke = LSD

but if my memory serves me right, all GTS don't have LSD only the turbo variants have LSD..

dont u mean turn the same direction? single spinners turn the opposite way dont they...

You can look this type of stuff up at http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan/skyline/

1993 R33 GTS25 LSD Optional

1993 R33 GTS25 Type S LSD Standard

1993 R33 GTS-4 LSD Standard

Obviously if it was only optional on the model you're looking at and not standard then you will still have to check if it has one fitted or not.

thanks mate.

so im lookin for a Type S or a GTS4. Dose anyone no if you can turn the AWD off on a Gts4? say for drift use? is it just flick a switch or do i need to start ripin out wires?

thanks

the pull the atessa fuse trick as far as i know only works safely with R32's

for R33's you will need to have a torque split convertor, or start pulling some bits out, an alternative is to learn 4wd drifting...

i'm sure there's a clip floating around of pva glue getting a little sideways in a gts4

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
