I purchased and am awaiting a Quaife LSD Front Differential for an R32 GTR oil pan. Quaife only sells the LSD Front Diff for an R33 or R34. What is the reasoning for this? Does anything need to be trimmed/modified for installation into an R32 GTR oil pan? Or is this a typo and will bolt right in? Thanks all......

Day to day driving you don't even know you have a aftermarket diff installed. There is no clunking, banging of harshness of ANY kind (it's gears, not plates like a "normal" diff).... That is until you put your foot down around a corner and you have all this front end grip that you never had before.

A GTR engine should not go back in without one of these installed, period. I only wish I did it 7 years ago instead of 2. The best mod and should be one of the first done, V spec or not!

Piggaz - are they only useful once you get up a certain power level? My 32 has 300awkw and it doesnt feel like i have front end grip issues, but maybe i just dont know what i'm missing? Or to ask the question another way, when are they worthwhile, and when are they poor value for the cost?

You mean power induced understeer, right? At the moment i'm balancing that with an ATTESSA tweaker, but i'm guessing i would be able to push more power to the front in the corner and therefore use more power overall, if i had a front LSD?

Never driven my car under 380 kw with the front diff in. That was the run in tune. However, I think it's a case of not knowing what you're missing. I thought the same thing...until I got it in there.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
