R34 Diff

[mooney101]

hey i just trying to work out how i can get a better diff for my r34 GTT i have been told that they come out with a helical diff and they are unable to be shimmed so i was wondering if a viscous diff would fit into the r34 diff housing?

cheers Alex

OK, that's got to be the most backward way to move possible.  Helical >>>> VLSD.  Shimmed VLSD = wrong idea.

Do you actually have a helical diff? Is your car manual or auto? What year?

If you have a helical, please tell us what you don't like about it, then we can tell you either that you're wrong or that you're right but the only improvement possible is to go to a clutch type mechanical diff.

I'm in Adelaide and could give you a hand to check it out if you need.  But if you follow what I said in the linked thread, you should be able to see for yourself.  FWIW, I'm in the process of getting a helical diff to put into my R32, because viscous diffs suck badly and helicals are close to the perfect street diff.  Nice manners, progressive action... The only time they can suck is when you get one back wheel off the ground, like on some driveway entries.  If yours is opening up then it's a fair bet that it's a VLSD.
