1999 R34 Gtt Diff Questions

Hey all,

Not sure if this belongs in the drivetrain section or here but I thought because changing diff oil is general maintenance here would work.

I am going to do my gearbox and diff oil and while looking on here for suggestions for what oils to use I came across a few threads saying there was a difference in the LSD's for series 1 and 2 for the R34 GTT's.

I thought they all had helical LSD but a couple of threads I came across said the series 1 had a viscous LSD.

So confused right now as I am finding conflicting information.

I guess I really have 2 questions.

1. Can anyone confirm if a 1999 manual R34 GTT uses a helical or viscous LSD?

2. What would be the best oils to use for each diff?

I was going to use Motul Gear 300 for moth gearbox and diff but I

l'll hold off on buying as much as I was going to if the diff needs a different oil.

Cheers,

Andy

A series 1 GTT has a Viscous diff. Only the series 2 manuals came out with the Helical diff's.

The series 2 auto's also used a Viscous diff.

From memory i used Nulon 85W-140 limited slip diff oil in my series 1 last year.

how to tell the difference between viscous an helical?

I've been told that if you turn one wheel, the other should turn in the opposite direction (shits fkd up I know). Haven't tried it for myself though.

From memory the Helical will act like an open diff, so if you turn one wheel the other will turn the opposite direction. If you turn the wheels on a viscous diff they should turn the same direction. I also have not tested this theory.

The other way is check the code on the diff, a viscous is a R200V I think

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.

      Ah, should have been clearer. Currently has a flex sensor installed all good to go.    like u mentioned, I’ve only ever known the car on e85, I might hate 98, but I have to try it out first. Everyone says the -5 turbos get pretty laggy on 98 octane tho…
