hey guys just wondering would there be a massive difference in performace between the Nismo diff from the GTR compared to my stocker viscous? i heard that a standard GTR unit is apparently better than the standard GTST ones but still concerned about how much bite there is thats keeping the two apart?

looking to go for a lsd upgrade to a 2-way but still pondering about whether this is a real 2-way mechanical type (being a nismo [not sure if they made standard 33 gtr lsd's] or simply a GTR lsd) or if its not really worth the money to get one..

thanks for your help in advance!

The std gtr diff is just a std nissan mechanical diff. Very similiar as to what was in the old turbo 300zx's and r31's coupes.

The nismo's are an aftermarket item. Unsure but the N1's etc 'may' have been released with the uprated nismo diff centre.

A gtr diff won't bolt up due to its different half shaft bolt up; 6 vs the gtst's 5. To get it to fit you need bolt up the gtr hubs and purchase the axles etc. So not a cheap exercise BUT you will be provided with a near bullet proof rear end should you decide to run some decent slicks with big rpm launches at the drags.

Cheapest way out.. Grab a 1k kaaz unit from one of the sponsors and have it fitted in to your diff.

The clutch/mechanical diff's are much better than the vlsd's.

im so over my vlsd lol yea ive pretty much decided to go either nismo or cusco...or kaaz...wats the difference? i have only seen rebuild kits for nismo items so sorta leaning towards that..

haha it jsut seems there is so much option on the market but im leaning towards to the nismo's due to the ability to be rebuilt. im not sure about that feature with the other units...

Woudl puting in a kaaz unit still be as strong as the gtr rear end? Im thinking not?

With regards to the diff.. the Kazz is a tougher unit than the std gtr diff.

But if you are talking about the axles/hubs then no; the gtr has the larger dia. axles.

The diff is the diff the axles are the axles.

Ultimately the GTR axles/hubs + the uprated nismo centre and its as tough as it can possibly get.

From my understanding. :P

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
