R33VSpec vs R34 Vspec diff

No. Firstly the gear ratio is different. You may be able to take the ratios from your 33 diff to fit into the 34 diff.

But there are other complexities with replacing a 33 vspec diff, I'm not sure of the details maybe try a search around. 33 vspec have some whiz bang active diff with lots of bits that make it work....

It's a bloody shame no one has come up with a solution for putting an LSD centre into the A-LSD housing. Surely with Nissans level of interchangeability between models there's something that fits. Someone like Award could possibly come up with a solution. Otherwise there's going to be a shit load of A-LSD's laying around rotting once they've all been swapped out!

Thanks Team, Yep it would shag the ratio in the 5 speed. Forgot about that.

 

I'll just have to go the route of replacing the shafts and putting a non-vspec with a 1.5 in.

Cheers.

I have a 3.54 front diff if you want to try swapping the rears.

Nice one!!

I must be the only person considering putting an A-LSD into a Skyline. Street car GT four though, I'm currently suffering with a viscous lsd...

Seriously though, they are just a clutch pack LSD, actuated via computer controlled hydraulic pressure. I'm wondering what it is that causes them to go bad. I have read that they don't like too much heat, and over 350kw they would appear problematic, but I'm unlikely to test that limit.

One interesting thing i read, they lock more with increasing lateral g, which seems sensible. However- if you have installed an ATTESA controller, typically these reduce the lateral signal, to get more front drive, but as you can see this would reduce lsd lock at the same time. I'm fascinated by the computer control, so hopefully I'll try it one day! On the lookout for cheap R34 v-spec attesa pro ecu's :)

You make it sound so simple! But a mechanical LSD is even more simple.

If one had a car with the A-LSD it would certainly be worth trying to give it a good service before giving up on it. There is a piece on how to do that at the top of this section...but it seems a little OTT to install one (instead of a mechanical LSD) when there is not one there!

Installing a mech lsd was certainly my first plan, and yes understand it is a lot simpler. But then i read a few posts recently about them being a pain around town, needing to clutch-in around tight corners etc. perhaps i just need to find a loose one.

Never mind what a few posters say. GTRs come standard with a mechanical LSD and I put one in my Stagea and there was no "putting the clutch in to turn tight corners" nonsense nor was it at all harsh. Some brand new aftermarket LSDs need a little running in but that would be nothing compared to the headache of trying to install a V-spec LSD. oops advice a year late I see:blink:

I have a V Spec R33 and right now I'm trying to sort an Attesa problem and which also is only letting the left rear tire get traction

If you are spinning the rear right tyre too much then it sounds like your A-LSD isnt locking up properly, so try bleeding it on top of the diff for a start. If it’s always biased to one wheel, maybe check if one of the brakes is dragging too. Got any warning lights on the dash?

When i got my GT Four I bled the attessa fluid and it was thick like old engine oil, yuck. Replaced with Transmax Z.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
