Hi,

im about to change the diff oil, but i dont know where the filler hole is.

On the driver side of the diff, there is a hex shaped hole (ive tried this one, but it wont budge) and on the passenger side, theres 2 bolts that look the same (above the exhaust)

Also, ive noticed that there is a hose running from the diff into the boot. In the boot, there is a fluid reservior, i was wondering if thats the diff oil??

My car is a R33 GTS-T Series II

the fill/drain holes are not hex shaped, they have a square indent. this is a standard 1/2 inch drive shape, so a 1/2 inch socket wrench without any sockets in it is the correct tool (altho you may need a breaker bar :cheers:)

the drain plug is on the back of the diff, at the bottom, facing the rear bumper. the fill plug is on the passenger side of the diff, halfway up, facing the left rear wheel (it's a bit trickier to spot). a short extension bar on your socket wrench will be needed.

always make sure you can get the fill plug out before you drain your old oil... :mellow:

Sounds to me like he has a A-LSD (from the GTR vspec)

Nope not always... mine arent

Is your diff cover Finned? The drain plug is 1/2inch drive.. however the filler is on the drivers side.. Very large allen key needed with lots of leverage.. Will also most likely have locktite on it.. so will require a bang with a hammer to break the seal..

Make sure you put in a proper LSD oil as this diff is different to the normal R33 Diff..

Yeh i believe your right. i couldnt find a filler hole on the passenger side, so it must be this.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      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.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      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.
