hey all,

might be a siilly question (have done a search already), recently purchased a r32. im doing a full service and read that for lsd diffs you need different oil?

is there a way to tell if i have the standard diff or lsd/aftermarket one?

going by castrols book... i should use the epx diff oil (for an r32 gtr but i only have a gts-t).. but others on here say Castrol SAF-XA 80w-140.

any light would be great!

thanks.

If you have the standard v-lsd just use normal oil, not LSD specific oil.

That is mainly designed for the clutches/cones in a mechanical LSD (such as the GTR diff) & will be of no benefit in a viscous...

How modified is the car you bought? Not a sure answer but unless its fairly modified chances are it has the stock centre.

MOST people seem to modify for power before they worry about traction/stopping/turning, etc

my car has some work done to it... everything external.. including cams etc.. so i have a feeling i could possibly have a different diff.

any way to know? isit a different shape? more bolts? etc..

thanks.

Well, no, not from looking at it.

Unless you have a GTR rear-end conversion it will all look factory as you will just have an aftermarket LSD centre in your original housing.

Without removing the rear cover you wouldn't see any difference...

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
