i have an auto N/A r33 , series 1

as far as i know the diff is standard

but what ive noticed is it refuses to throw singles?

with the car jacked up i spin a wheel and the other rotates the different way and it feels real tight

its never thrown one single ever , what kind of diff comes standard in these?

not a bad thing im just curious

cheers

from memory all N/a cars come stock with no LSD, some factory upgraded ones came with LSD. But dont quote me on that.

so if you jack your car up and turn the right wheel clockwise, the other side turns in the opposite direction???? that means its a standard lsd

if both turn in the same direction, it means its has a LSD

LSD= both wheels lock up under a certain amount of accelerated pressure

Stock= one will light up at a time, unless you are on a pretty even surface and going straight, it can light up both wheels if lucky.

SOME S2 GTST's came equipped with a ALSD's but very few, i dont think any S1 came with it tho

Then it'll be a type s, easy way to tell look at the model code if it reads e-ecr it's a type s. if its just ecr it's not.

Mine has a LSD rear end in it from factory although I'm not sure of the Diff ratio in it.

This is incorrect, the extra E is for something else, fast will tell you if it's type s or not.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
