your comment is rubbish, look it up before you talk up

So basically you are another know-it-all noob like Plan-B?

You come here for advice - we give it to you... You then proceed to tell you that, sadly, you are misinformed.

Now we are talking rubbish?

:rolleyes:

A 1.5 was diff is TOTALLY predictable. Have you even driven a car with one? I have, many times.

I also OWN a car with a 2-way mech locker. I can tell you now neither is more or less predictable than the other.

Such a statement clearly shows you don't even know the dynamics behind how it works and the effects of having either.

If I had a choice, I wouldn't have a 2-way in my car. I'd have 1.5

However the factory HR31 diff is a 2-way, and rebuilt is tough as guts, so it was the much cheaper & faster option at the time.

I've had the HR31 kick out UNPREDICTABLY in the wet with the 2-way. I can assure you whilst it looks pretty fken cool, going downhill with your rear end @ a 45 degree angle in the wet is certainly brown undies moments.

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
