R200 Viscous Diff Tightening

[M® DATO]

How you going?

I was wondering if you guys can help me.

I have a R200 diff that needs tightening. Ive read the post on Datnet (datsun website) on how to tighten it but when i pulled my diff apart the inside of my viscous diff was totally different to the viscous diff described. The diff described had a shim inside where as mine has a series of metal plates stacked ontop of each other on the inside. The shim which i bought for my diff is smaller in diameter from the inside where my diff requires one larger in diameter.

Is it possible to get a shim that is wider in diameter?

If you can help me it would great. If you need further information let me know.

Thanx

You don't want to shim a VLSD. It's not a proper solution to the problem.

What is a proper solution then?

[GTSBoy]

A different diff.

What is a proper solution then?

A proper mechanical LSD not the POS VLSD.

You can get a thicker shim, but it is just a bandaid fix. As the others have said get a mechanical lsd of the sort

that diffs not viscous its mechanical.
