Bubba, has it ever single pegged since shimmed? Also does it still chirp around tight corners?

Nope, no single pegging and it doesn't chirp around tight corners anymore. The only time I can feel it bind up slightly is full lock, reversing out of a parking space.

Even at its' worst (when it was nice and fresh), it was still nothing like trying to park the 32 with a button clutch and 2-way :P

Ive rounded off the righthand side nut in this picture. about to pour petrol over my car and throw a match on it..

Tried smashing on another socket but its so hard to hammer it in the position its in.

Soaked the crap out of it in wd40

Any help would be appreciated.

How do you round off a nut when your using the right size socket? are you sure its not the ratchet slipping? try using a breaker bar and see if it still slips.

Only other thing i can think of, assuming you havnt round it off too badly, buy an impact single hex socket, in the mean time just keep soaking it in WD40 every 30 minutes or so, by the time you get a socket tomorrow it may have made a difference.

not sure, the other one came off relatively easy. its rounded quite badly by the looks of it. just got the oxy torch on it, if i have to i'll replace the bush in there.

i doubt theres a more difficult place to round off a nut haha. oh well, extra points!!

mines working well for what its intended for, worn in with in a week and is nice and locked.

now has anyone set the backlash before and do they have part numbers for the backlash shims on the crown wheel?

now my diff does get some hard use now and again and it's started to chirp the rear wheels while driving normaly, straight with good tread tyres etc would this have anything to do with using castrol manual vmx 80 or i figure its also that i have to get backlash set ( as there is some play more then before it was shimmed )?

thanks :pirate:

I will be considering doing this as my car really does not like giving me two wheels anymore. Straight line I am ice skating everywhere and it is definitely one wheel spinning... I tried to spin the tires(not for show but just to test the diff) and it is definitely only using one wheel when its spinning.. I don't care for burnouts but if I could tighten up the straight line action, that would be great but from reading here it seems this has more effect when the car is sliding/turning/coming out of turns etc and straight line its still a one wheel... Nissan should have made this diff tighter..

seems the appropriate thread to ask, anyone removed the pinion out of their diffs??

im in the process of removing mine, have removed the large nut (bloody tight) and splined flange off, the centres already out

tapped the pinion end with hammer lightly with the nut on it, but no movement

suggestions?

It's not a proper LSD, just a highly preloaded VLSD, so it basically won't lock up much harder as you accelerate and you are relying upon the preload to do all the locking for you.

allright dudes,iv just finished with a mate his r33 lsd using 1.2 shims its allright but going more after the weekend,tryed getting 1.49s but nissan can only order them in from japland so i settled with 4- 0.8 and 4- 1.2 so im sure we'll get it good and tight soon,had a wee run there but not to happy but we'll give it a weekend first and c, ill keep yous posted

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
