Lsd Oil Recommendations

[matthew0786]

What oil/brand is recommended for a GTR V-Spec LSD ?

cheers

[T04GTR]

normal 80 90 hypoid. non lsd oil.

[turboedsloth]

if its lsd use ls90 or ls140

You fool... he said VSPEC diff...

its LSD oil...

Castrol LSX90 will do.. i changed mine today

Dont give advice if you arent sure

You fool... he said VSPEC diff...

its LSD oil...

cool, thanks

hahaha good one mate. do you have any idea what your on about or how a v-spec lsd works? go lean some things thanks.

i spose you would put a lsd oil in a helical diff to you noob

[T04GTR]

let me start..

first off. a lsd oil is a lsd oil because of the friction modifiers to prevent "chatter" in the clutches and give smooth takeup

. v-spec diffs have zero preload. and no chatter problems.

also they are controlled by a ecu and require a constant rate of friction to work corectly. putting a friction modified oil in is not what is recomended. you can but it wont work as the engineers intended. just like sticking a lsd oil in you gearbox. have fun selecting lol

you put a lsd oil in a viscose diff?? no. why? cos theres no exposed friction plates. threre a sealed unit. dont recomend oils to people ok

[turboedsloth]

how does the ecu control the diff? i have never heard of this and am very curious. is there a site which can help me out i am very very interested

its a v-spec.

(hydrolicly controlled) its controlled by the atessa ecu im pretty sure. unless theres a seperate a-lsd ecu

[MotoMan]

its a v-spec.

(hydrolicly controlled) its controlled by the atessa ecu im pretty sure. unless theres a seperate a-lsd ecu

There is a seperate ALSD ECU as the GTSTs dont have an atessa ecu... and on the actual diff it has stamped USE LSD OIL ONLY

I dont pull this info out of my arse mate.. i actually have a GTR Vpsec Active LSD

Now im willing to accept that perhaps a non LSD oil can be used.. but if nissan saw fit to stamp in metal on the actual Diff LSD OIL ONLY.. then who am i to argue

So for us with a gtst that has a standard viscous LSD, LSD oil is fine?

I changed mine with Castrol LSX90 about 9 months ago, it seems to be fine.

fair enough. for a minuite there i thought you were. if thats what the sticker says cool.

just like the standard r33gtr we imported that had "viscouse lsd" sticker on it when clearly its a standard 2 way.

you can use lsd oil in non lsd or viscouse for "heavy duty aplications" acording to most oil companys.
