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?

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

      Alpha omega racing bracket

      Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.

      Here is picture of the rear brackets again seeming to have eating itself or corrode or whatever. Can’t describe it , hope someone could explain this

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I've not looked at a GTR without the booster there. Is the hole and mount on the firewall not just the same as GTSt? I would have expected it to be. Nissan don't change panel stampings if they don't have to, and you'd think they'd just order/design the booster to mount to the same place.

      Skyline R34 Suspension Drama

      They have all sorts of "failure" modes. When they are brand new, the can either be very very tight, or reasonably mobile. If they are reasonably mobile, you'll probably have a good start. If they are very tight, then they can catch/grab at every little motion, and they mark the ball or the outer race, tearing off whatever teflon lining is in the outer race, then they can rapidly degenerate from there. If they get wet, they can just rust. They are just steel and will turn red pretty quickly. Water can get in behind them and sit and cause them to become crunchy and then proceed to tear themselves up, as above. Same with grit and dirt. Manufacturers and OEMs of the arms that use them will tell you that because they are teflon lined (well, the good ones, anyway), you shouldn't grease them. If you do grease them, then the grease will catch any passing grit and dirt and hold it in place where it can cause damage. Race teams that have them will lubricate them thoroughly. They will also inspect them every 5 minutes and replace them every 10 minutes, if need be. Some manufacturers of arms will provide dust boots. These can help, but they are seldom perfect, and sometime just make the situation worse, being a place where crap can collect. I have made nappies for some of mine with PVC sheet and race tape, to try to minimise the access of crap. When they wear, you can get a tiny tiny amount of movement between the ball and the outer race. This will make clicking noises. It will also make the arm have "slop" in that the tiny amount of movement available at the inner end of an arm can cause a lot of movement out at the outer end. 0.05mm at 5mm from the pivot becomes 4mm 400mm away from the pivot. If they are too tight and binding, they impede the proper motion of the suspension arm and put loads into it and the rest of the suspension that are not supposed to be there, and can cause failure. Think broken welds, broken threaded sections on the adjustable parts, mounts ripped off the chassis, etc. All of these are possible, which is the main reason why they are essentially illegal on the road in Australia.
