seems to be more noticeable after jacking it up

or do gtr diffs just sound like this :worship:

Oh BTW Orion, get a Rear Wheel Alignment done.

Cuz you have change the rear suspension, its put the geometry out of whack and needs to be done cuz its 4WD.

But I don't think that will help with the whirring noise. Or it might...

But when you jacked it up at the diff, I don't think you would have crushed or bent anything in the diff...

Anyway get ya mechanic to check it out.

My diff made a similar noise when rolling and while driving. Sounded like a Wwhhoooo noise. So I got it reconditioned.

I still got the receipt for my rear diff

About $1380, thats recondition, installed ready to drive and it was not as much as I thought too.

But get it check out 1st.

I did it at Le Mans Automotive in Templestowe.

You would of snapped a cooling fin before doing internal damage to the diff..

Not form the jacking.

Sure your not just Paranoid?.. Happens to me too..

Whirring diffs seem to be common threads in this section.

Just seems like their noisy from factory.

Best advise is change the diff oil.. see the condition its in and put a higher quality product in. See how that goes..

People jump to recondition diffs/'boxes too quicky.

For that price you may aswell buy an after market LSD.

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
