Skylines Rear Diff

[carl92]

hey guys I am just wonderin what the difference between r33 standard rear diff and r33 gtr rear diff.is the gtr one stronger or are the internals the same besides the lsd center and r the stub axles different

[Trex]

Not sure champ, i heard google talking about it the other day. Ask him.

Half shafts are thicker should think everything is stronger. GTR is 6 x 1 bolt pattern.

The basic diff itself (pumpkin, CW&P) will be pretty much just the same strength in all these LSD R200s. But the GTR diff is of course a mechanical LSD, which a) works and is b) rebuildable and adjustable, whereas the "standard" LSD in R33s is of course a viscous diff which is only useful for stopping your boat from rolling back down the driveway (ie stick it behind the boat trailer's tyre and forget you ever had it in the car).

Otherwise I agree that the splines are bigger and therefore stronger and the 6 bolt flanges are stronger and the CVs are stronger.

You forget about the v-spec. That has a vlsd

No, they have an active diff. Which is even more shit.

[Hadouken]

So what type is this "active diff" then?

Would it be a viscous or helical?

It would be neither. It would be a mechanical plate diff with an electro-hydraulic actuator to adjust the plate pressure.

--edit-- perhaps reading the sticky would help? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/268134-r33-gtst-active-lsd-information/

Are you sure? I thought is was one piece of shit apply fecal-hydraulic pressure to another different piece of shit.

There is a whole heap of faeces, excrement, poop and shit involved in the system. And some other crap.

For your benefit GTSBoy kept it simple.
