1995 Series 1 R33 GTS-T

90,000 kms

Stock viscous LSD, pretty badly biased to one side.

284rwkw, and she kicks out like hell on accelleration.

Right now I can't afford a new Kaaz or Nismo mechanical but will eventually.

Can my stock diff be revived or improved a little by changing the oil and to another grade ?

Cheers.

Yes you can.

Pull it apart and put a thicker shim on the side opposite the viscous coupling. I usually put a 1.4mm (thickest) as they are normally around 1.2 - 1.26(?) so it tightens it up enough not to be bullshit locked all the time but still really good.

how much is it roughly to shim up a diff?

anyone know?

Well the shim costs about $4. The rest is in your hands.

If you pull out the diff yourself (approx 1.5hrs) then it would take someone approx 30 minutes to throw it in.

If you pull out the diff yourself and do the shim yourself, then you pay no labour, just the $4

If you get someone else to do the lot, then approx 2hrs labour.

this 1.4mm you talk of, how is it around car parks?

hey snappy, i think drift garage charges $200-$250 to shim a diff and thats including evertyhing apart from the shim.

so thats taking it apart and doing the opposite? or just to install the shim?

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Anyone know what this front bar is for series 1 R33??

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
