it has rather agricultural sound turning corners and a rather loud clunking sound we open it up and replaced some shims (aparently i wasnt involved i should say they) and it stoped for a while what do the best way of explaining the dif is that its either locked or its not but its not a fully locked diff will that red line stuff help, any help will be much appreciated

Sounds like a detroit locker. They are supposed to be very strong but if your looking for finesse....forget it They lock up with a clunk when you go round a corner and unlock when you exit, very agricultural.... I wouldn't have one in a road car.

What's wrong with the Skyline LSD ??

Nominee for post-without-punctuation award? Looks like he knew something was wrong near the end though, where he threw in a comma instead of a full stop. Santa, my only wish for Christmas is that people would finish primary school level English before buying a Skyline.

About the diff. If you haven't replaced oil yet, then definanlty give Redline a go. I know several people with noisy diffs (none of them Nissan), that weren't so noisey after diff oil was replaced for something more slippery. Probably won't fix the problem but it'll make it a lot less noticable.

Is it a standard Nissan viscous diff?

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
