R33 Gts-t Diff Problem

[rubberdong]

hey guys,

brought a r33 gts-t about a month ago and had the first day of wet roads the otherday so i thought i would take it out the back and see how she goes! i attempet to rip a nut and was deeply dissapointed! it dropped on to 1 wheel and wouldnt spin round! but coming out of corners it does poweries no worries.

Is there something wrong with my diff or is it something im doin wrong???

kinda a newbie to skylines so im still learning so some help would be great!

p.s it is running 198rwkw so i dont thing it is a power issue???

HELP PLEASE!!!

sounds like your diff is just a bit worn.i had the same problem with my r32. you could get it re-shimed or if u want to spend the money get a mechanical diff.

ok so the diff in the r33 gtst's is a clutch diff?

do you know how much it is to get shimed and where to get it done?

roughly $20 a shim.. of course more expensive the thicker you go.

i believe there is a diy tutorial. go check it out. is a good read and has everything u need to know.

i say ur best to get the shims urself and take the diff to a diff shop and get them to do it.. its a fair bit of f**kin around to pull the centre apart and if they f**k it up they have to fix it

there is a DIY thread with all the correct part #'s for the thrust washers (shims)
