did it just bolt on or did you have to modify

thanks eryc

bolted straight up to my type s... no mods required

from memory there is about 3 axle stud patterns.

there is a yellow/orange "L.S.D." sticker on the top passenger side of the diff housing. above the axles.

hard to see from under car. could try with a small mirror.

cheers

lsd's work to a point the allow a certain amount of slip, hence the name "limited slip", if u have one on grass and one on tar the one on the tar is still moving ur car but the on the grass is moving slightly faster, not sure how the skyline diff works but in commonwhores the amount of slip is controlled by springs kinda like a clutch, tuffer springs equals much less slip and the other way around as well.

wait...

i dont have a jack that can jack it up...i jacked up one side..and turned the wheel...and it mananged to turn, does that mean no lsd?

on a 7k and then clutch dump, the car is moving, and im drivin, how do i even know if one wheel spins and the other doesnt?

and WHY would one wheel spin and the other not?

thanks guys...ne way of just lookin under and knowin if u have an LSD?

dont know what that flange flange thing is either..

hehhh

pardon my ignorance...:P

get under the back of ur car and count the bolts man, it seems LSD came with 5 bolt flange and non LSD 6 bolt flange, which means axle setup and everything is different. With an open diff u get slipage hence u get one wheel spinning cos the other gear isnot moving. in and LSD it transfers the torque evenly, u shouldnt really get wheel spin unless there is too much torque. Or sumthing like that correct me if im wrong!

the diff is dead center between the rear wheels ok, well call it a metal ball, a flange is like a bolt holder cos u cant have two pipes just joined together with bolts so its the flat end piece that holds the diff to the axles. The bolts are on either side of the diff

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
