Was wondering if there were any options to upgrade the stock open diff that comes in the Auto V35?

I have found that on take off @ a busy intersection the back left wheel will break traction easialy and then traction controll will kick in and everythig slows down. Was thinking that a LSD would help since power would go evenaly to both rear wheels. Have also noticed this when turning right and giving it a bit of stick mid turn

Badluck, but my LSD Diff breaks Traction just the same as yours! Lol

Therefore you turn the VDC off when you're ready to take off from uneven surfaces...

LSD it is for the GT-8 & 6MT...

Best Ever Spec Sheet!!!

Thank you so much Greg :) AAA+++

PS. Do you read/write Japanese?

To do the same and source out a workshop manual in English in any format as I can only find a Japanese CD Workshop after countless searches! :(

vLSD is similar yet different to the LSD that you're thinking. Mechanical LSDs are illegal and these viscous LSDs that we have tend to deteriorate pretty quickly. Grab some Penrite 75w140 and chuck it in until it overflows and she'll be right - for now.

How do you figure a mechanical LSD is illegal?

Also, changing the oil with a viscous LSD will do nothing to help the diff function as it is all contained inside the diff in the silly mega thick fluid in the center.

I know up here that changing from a viscous to mechanical LSD is defectable. I think it falls under 'modification of safety equipment?' Will do some more DD.

Sorry, my mistake. Was mixing up locked vs Mech diffs. Locked is illegal.

Changing the fluid will help it function as it should. God knows when the last time they were changed in these cars was (prior to our ownership). Like any other fluid, it deteriorates and breaks down over time. Changing it helps the diff's efficacy.

Locked is probably illegal, having said that I have been through a full inspection a few times ages ago with a locked diff in a vl and was passed each time.

Yeah, chanhung the diff oil is a good idea, but the fluid that does the work, the viscous fluid, is actually sealed inside the diff center. You can't get to it. The fluid that drains out is just lubrication for the bearings and gears, and has nothing to with the limited slip function of a viscous LSD.

If you make them work hard.. yes, the viscous fluid overheats and loses its viscousity, and the whole thing becomes more like an open diff.

If you just drive them around as your normal 'daily' then it should maintain its LSD function for much longer.

Exactly.. nothing special is required when replacing the oil in a VLSD compared to the standard open diff.

There is a thread somewhere on here where the vlsd centre was cut open on a lathe, repacked with silicone grease or whatever it is, then rewelded back together, seemed to work out ok, better than shimming it solid anyway.

my Y34 is open diff and 6-bolt half-shafts with ABS.

im putting in an R34 GTT helical LSD centre into it. retaining factory final drive so it doesnt throw the speedo out.

if someone puts pics up of the V35 diff, people can suggest OEM replacements that fit (Or can be made to fit).

oh ok so thats why my 350gt 2003 auto coupe sways badly on wet road .very dangerouus to drive in rainy days

feels like left rear wheel wants to move first or faster than right rear wheel.

if u put new tyres at the rear end , left tyre wears out way faster than right side tyre.

checked alignment ,suspension all good but still fish tails on wet road even on low speeds.

I just changed my diff bushings today.. 2 front bushes were still ok and squirted silicone fluid when I cut them out. Rear had just started leaking fluid, but still had a lot in it when I cut it open.

Compressions rod bushes are common too.. I took my car for a WA a couple of years ago and they said these bushes were shot. I replaced them with whiteline bushes. The old ones looked ok when I remove them, no splits or cracks, but I guess they had just become too soft..

Yeah I remember that. He used some insane weight (something like 1,000,000 viscosity) of RC car oil to fill the diff center or similar. Said it worked a treat.

What acronyn is 'RC' Josh???

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
