why on earth would you? I'm not diff welding expert but I imagine it will be tricking as the GTR centre is a mechanical clutch pack type LSD. if you want a welded diff at least sell your GTR centre and get a crap GTST diff, weld that and put it in.

So a GTSt centre fits in a GTR housing? Or you mean the whole diff as one? What about the ATESSA pump mountings?

You would do this because youre low on money and need some traction at the rear! Im not saying its the best idea, but does the job?

you can run a gtst centre in a gtr housing no problems. You can't really change to the gtst housing in a gtr as it wil change your rear diff ratio (but not the front diff) so attessa will go all sad.

but you really should just shim up the standard one, you can get it as tight as you like without the disadvantages of a welded diff. under 300 to shim and adjust the stocker

early 32 GTR centres are worth next to nothing and Nismo shim kits are about $200...best way to go.

PM me if you want one with kit fitted ready to install.

later R32 centres on the other hand are expensive, much sought after and rare.

I thought f**k it, I went crazy and I got myself some 1.49 shims (LOL theyre hardcore thickest ones!) from Nissan, came next day. $6 bucks each!

Im going to chuck them in this week, will post results :)

Hopefully an insane amount of lock, I just didnt want a welded diff to wreck me suspensions...got a feeling it will be very close-to though.

if you really shim it up, it shoudlnt be as bad as a locked diff, but will still churp quite often on tight bends.

that said i dont see locked diffs as 'bad', infact my minispool was the best $100 i ever spent on my car :)

What is the difference? and how do you tell them apart?

what if you just buy a lock diff, i got one in mine, took me ages to find out why my car was always clunking/tyre skipping sound, when turning, the car already had the lock diff in it when i got it

Any one welded up a R32 GTR diff at all - open enough to get a bead in there?

Are you sure you don't just have a very tight diff? They will act like this around most corners.

What happens if you put the clutch in or neutral, and take a corner pretty slow? Same locking on the corner?

Guys please remember this request for diff lock or full spool is for drag application only and i simply want to lock the back diff up to keep her straight as posoble - i have no attesa or hicas etc - all gone - do have to make a choice still have done as yet.

Have engaged an engineering entity that says that bthey willl send me a proto type full spool but sadly have been waiting a very long time - have my doubts wether will come good .

need suggestions lads got to do in next few weeks - any one know where i can get a full spool.

Any examples that you know of with big HP with shimmed up tight rear diff - results ??

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
