So you didn't go and read about the active LSD as I suggested in the other thread ? In the drivetrain section there is a whole thread stickied at the top on the thing.

Basically you options are to bleed it and get it working back to factory 100%, or replace the entire housing, centre and driveshaft axles to go to any type of mechanical LSD. As mentioned earlier, ALL 33 and 34 GTR v spec have this type of diff too.

Could I weld it ?

It actually astounds me that no one has ever produced a readily available LSD centre to go into the viscous LSD housing (unless I've missed something???).  A mechanical LSD diff housing is worth the GDP of a small African nation nowadays whereas a viscous LSD diff is worth a packet of Tim Tams and maybe a sneaky wristy no spit.  The person who makes it happen economically is going to make a lot of money and all of a sudden a near worthless hunk of boat anchor is worth money again!

If it's welded you could do nothing else as it's no going to "actuate' anything.

I know right ? I'd be the first one to get one for the v spec !

No. Not right.

There is little difference between VLSD and mech LSD (and in fact, the open diffs in NA cars etc) when it comes to the housing. There are literally dozens of mech LSD options for VLSD diffs. All of the usual suspects (Cusco, KAAZ, Nismo, etc etc, and many more) have mech diff replacements for VLSD and open R200 centres.

The only mech diff centres on any R chassis cars were the GTR 2-way mechanicals. And I suppose the helical diffs on some R34s can be consider mechanical too, just not in the same way. That's why they are rare and expensive.

What there is not, is something to easily put a mech centre into one of the ACTIVE diffs from the M-specs and V-spec GTRs. Because they make it difficult, and there was only a small number of them, and there are other diffs you can grab to put in their place.

Wut? ..you're not including mechanicals i'm assuming.

I doubt that you could weld it. It's got hydraulic actuated clutches inside it and other shenanigans. Plugging up the hole where you pulled a hydraulic line out of it is the least of your worries!

And it is not altessa either. It's ATTESA. And what you have is not ATTESA. It is just active diff bullshit. ATTESA is 4WD. Which you don't have.

Sorry gents, I have to clarify.  I've been talking about diffs for the GT-R.  I don't know of an aftermarket mechanical centre for those.

Yeah, but still. GTRs only have 2 sorts of diffs.

The normal one is mechanical 2-way. No reason to talk about that any more.

The other is NOT a VLSD. It is the active diff. The V-spec diff. You are right, there are no mech centres to replace those, but there's also not very many of them out there, so why would anyone bother putting the effort into developing product?

I haven't looked on GTR registry for exact numbers, but that is far from correct. Off the top of my head about half of the 33 GTR is v spec with active LSD and in 34 GTR most of them have the active LSD. It is heaps rarer to have a 34 GTR with a non active mechanical LSD.

Yep, every one of these 34 GTR v spec, v spec ii,  N1, m spec and Nur spec have them. Even the halo Z tune has it, "specially tuned" as Nismo puts it.

Good in theory.

32 v specs 1 + 2 have the goods with the 31 spline mechanical LSD.

Yeah can't believe there is no a-lsd mechanical centre replacements after 25 years, they would sell like hot cakes

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
