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 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.

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?

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.

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.

if shimming is no good

then which LSD do you recommend?

something crazy, for track and drift

as above. :)

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
