Question About My Car

[Chris_GTR26]

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...

Jack the rear end up and spin the wheel.

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

If it's got an LCD you will have a fluid reservoir in the back somewhere like the boot?

it has the torque split bottle in the boot

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

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,
