R33 Gts-t Viscous Diff Better Than Ever

[conan7772]

Previously with my high flow and around 280 rwkw I found the stock diff single spinning HEAPS, especially in 1st and 2nd.

I mean floor it and I'm facing the foot path in a second. Third was just damn dangerous if I was in a hurry.

Strangley now, with 335 rwkw, no one's touched the diff and I can launch the car from stand still with high rpm and she'll just smoke up and stay straight.

Traction is noticely much better than ever and the car won't kick out anymore at all in any gear.

If anyone has an explanation for this I'd like to hear it.

Cheers.

More load is more bite, As the lsds wear they require more savageness to lock up, big clutch kick

Mine is similar, powering out of a corner it will not lock up, only a clutch kick will lock it up, It what ud call a lots of slip differential

Time for shimming, rebuild or replacement

The way you described what was happening seems ass about.

If your car is going sideways on launch it will be spinning both wheels as neither have traction to keep the car straight.

If your car is now going straight on launch, I'd say only one wheel is spinning, because the non spinning wheel is the one keeping you pointed down the road.

huh?

single spinner = sideways...

on my stick diff i would crabwalk 3rd with 300rwkw

now with the mech locker i am always straight

That's what I thought.

How could a car stay straight with all the power on one wheel.

Doesn't make sense.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Last track day I felt very unstable around corners.

Anyway problem will be solved soon..

I've got a Nismo PRO GT 1.5 TT sitting in my boot,

thanks to Nathan at High Octane Racing.

Great price.

that's what i am running.... is your car street driven? it is the quietest diff ever!

just remember to break it in properly and change the oil

I'm a builder and need heaps of tools. I did actually take it to work for a while as my work vehicle died.

Nail guns behind the seats, saws, planers etc in a crate in the boot between the subs.

All the other tradesmaen thought it was hilarious watching me pull out all the gear from the boot, the back and front seats every day, then changing clothes before I get in. Not very practical but comuting was the best part of the day !

My R33 is not my daily, occasional afternoon drives and say 4 track days a year.

I'll go for a cane evey so on in the national parks. No cops., just cyclists. They love me.
