Shimming Bnr32 Rear Diff

[felixy69]

hi

i was reading about shimming R33 GTS diff...a few pages back

then i notice it wasen't worth it at all cuz it will only last weeks/month

and since i am putting out about 600hp anyways

but on a BNR32 will it be actually do-able? because it being a 2way from stock. rather then open diff like R33 GTS

if i shim it, it will just be a stronger two way ???

so will it be worth it shimming a bnr32 diff ?

have anyone have experience

if not...i am looking for a Crazy locking lsd for a 600hpish BNR32 !! which brand/model do you guys reccommend ?

thx

I HAVE GOT IT ON MINE,

IT IS VERY TIGHT!!

AND FOR MY APPLICATION...ITS TOO TIGHT!!

BUT ITS CHEAPER TO DO THAN A TOTALLY NEW DIFF!!

OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT HALF A YEAR

HOPE THAT HELPS

I think they are 1.5 way stock rather than 2 way. Also I have spoken to people who have done this and it was very much worth their while. They also replace the clutch packs in them I think.

I have just put an R32 GTR diff in my car and am waiting for a track day to test it's condition. If it's a bit tired I will be doing this for sure.

nar there a two way. and nismo sell the kit that includes more clutch plates. the early nismo diffs are a stocker with the bits inside of it

[felixy69]

icic..i guess thats what i will do then

[Kinks]

shimming a diff is not a good solution - clutch plates are made of friction material and will give you LSD action, shims just make everything want to bind because there is less clearance than designed.

[felixy69]

if shimming is no good

then which LSD do you recommend?

something crazy, for track and drift

just do what to4gtr suggested. buy the nismo kit with the new clutch discs in it.

[SimonR32]

anyone have a part number for these nismo kits

[Beer Baron]

I'll grab it for you guys tonight out of the nismo catalogue.

[Trust33]

so there is a kit that fits in the stock housing?

[Beer Baron]

i'm not sure i completely understand the question. but we are talking about a kit which has replacement clutch disks (and apparently more of them) for a standard GTR diff. so yeah it fits in the stock housing? it's still the stock diff... just with newer, more clutch packs in it.

I run a gtr diff with nismo 5bolt axles. I was told they are setup pretty loose from factory and can be shimmed a little providing its plates are good.

Mine is fairly tight but doesn't clunk.

Awaits the nismo clutch pack. Any news on its cost?

group buy anyone ??

only if you organise it. lmao

[Beer Baron]

just getting my friend to check for me what the correct part number is, but as best I can tell it would be around $300. and you can choose how tight you want it.

no mate, loosly used term. it actually relaces the thick side washers inside it with 4 extra plates so yuo get a stronger lsd. they stip out quite easy standard as theres only one plate engaged on the axle shaft.

i had mine done a stewart wilkens rally. in mulgrave.

as above.
