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 :laugh:

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

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. :D

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

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real

      R34 GT Indicator not Cancelling

      Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.

      No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.

      For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.

      R34 GT Indicator not Cancelling

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
