This is something that is not often made very clear even in the specs:

For a NON-VSPEC R33 GT-R, do they still have an Active-LSD?

(different Attesa computer, I know, but still an active one?)

As in, power can be transfered from one side of the rear wheel to the other electronically?

Also, do the FRONTS have an LSD? Active or mechanical?

Anyone know for sure?

The R33 GT-R (non-V-spec) has a couple of "wet" multi-plate LSD`s front and rear with the ATTESA-ETS.

The R33 V-spec (and N1:))adds an active LSD on the rear, with the ATTESA-ETS Pro system.

**I`m reading this from Japanese, and they say it`s a "Shisshikitaban" clutch LSD... shisshikitaban literally means "wet-process multi-plate/surface". I have no idea what the usual English automotive term is, sorry.

the R32 workshop manual and the front diff seems to be an open diff... maybe it's different on the R33?

Thanks!

The R32/33/34 Bible I`m reading from doesn`t specify if the multi-plate LSD`s are on the front or not, it just says "Shisshikitaban LSD" under the diff section... after seeing some Nismo front LSD internals available, I just assumed they were LSD on the front from factory.

Evidently not. After more research, and as far as I can tell, the ATESSA E-TS is is the same for the R32 and 33, with an open front diff and multi-plate rear LSD (V-Specs have the Active LSD on the rear).

Sorry for the confusion:)

Ya my car certainly doesn't behave like it has a front LSD. I've seen a GT-R Japanese magazine that talks about Cusco LSDs for front and rear though.. I wonder if I can just buy an LSD for the front. I wonder if the front transfercase/driveshaft will handle a front LSD load though... obviously it wasnt designed to...

When I get my scanner I should scan that page for you to interpret, Rezz :D

BTW which GT-R bible are you reading?

Cheers!

It's a Hyper Rev/Nissan/JAF silver special edition... my most prized automotive book, it chronicles the timeline from BNR32 to 34 with every concievable model variation and detail... in Japanese!

It`s called "1989-2002 Skyline GT-R Memorial"... as per the explanation above.

Set aside 5 years for that, and 3 of them in Japan!

Seriously though, learning Katakana and Hiragana Japanese script would help out immensly when browsing internet sites and magazines in Jap.

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
