heya everyone,

i have a series 3 r33 gtr non v-spec

now ever since i have bought this car. i have noticed that it feels like it has a lsd diff in it.

when i turn a corner to do lets say a 3-point turn, it will make the doo doo doo noise like the rear wheels are tryna both spin.

it has always done it. now im not sure thats why im asking you guys if u could help me out as it has me stuffed lol

so my real question is. do the series 3 come out with lsd ?? or maybe the guy in japan fitted a lsd into it ??

there is no light on the dash like the v-specs do by the way

tanks for the help in advance

chris.

You should have a LSD light in your dash, in the centre between your Speedo and Tacho.

If it is making a "doo doo doo" noise and both wheels are spinning, it might sound like you have a Lock Diff.

1 or 2 Way Lock Diff, I am not too sure...

all GTR's have LSDs (so do all GTSt's BTW)

non Vspec have a mechanical LSD diff... its got clutch packs in it so it will lock on tight turns depending on how worn the clutch packs are etc... it may have been modified to lock tighter/earlier... the Vspec diff is an electronically controlled viscous (fluid) diff (which is what the light is for on Vspecs)

mine does the same as yours in car parks etc and has not been modified... its a non Vspec... my old GTSt had a Cusco 2 way mechanical in it and it was even louder and more aggressive... but also made loud clunking sound and vibration through the driveline, I'm sure you would know if you had an aftermarket mechanical diff, they are pretty obnoxious lol

it has the torque split bottle in the boot

That's for the ATESSA system, nothing to do with LSD/non-LSD.

GTR's had LSD on the rear's out of the factory, if you have a R33 , finned diff's are Viccous LSD, non-finned is mechanical.

I think R32 might have been the other way around.

Either way, unless someone downgraded you to non-LSD you have one :laugh:

i get a few clunks in my drivetrain (r32 gtst), like crusing in 5th gear going say 60, backing off the accelrator and going back on, even if its not heavily, the rear end seams to knock abit,

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.

      You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
