took the car for a spin yesterday, just for the hell of it, before taking it to the electrican, had a mate in the car so i dumped it and its started to spin the passenger side wheel then knocked it into second still spinning but changed to the drivers side wheel spinning?? i'll put up a pic of the black lines as its even funny to look at.. anyone know while this would happen???

Cheers Matt.... dam it was good to drive her again...

its been sitting a while, right?

flog it a bit then change the oil...the plates are prolly seized and have only let go on one side....it should free up... but if it doesnt....u need a rebuild.

also another thing is that when i have the car off the ground and spin the wheels by hand one will spin one way and the other will spin the other?? the cars at the auto electrican at the moment which is across the road from my machanics which is were the car is going next, swapping over the rear calipars and hand brake set up so i'll get him to change the diff oil to one of the ones above then too. thanks for ya help

Same brands as any oil you would use in a open wheeler diff....just that they formulate it specifically(sp?) for lsd's

Same deal as engine oils....different formulas and viscosities for different applications.

Open wheeling diffs will spin the other side wheel the other way when car is jacked up.....clutch pack type(plate) Lsd's will do the same just a little bit until the lsd unit kicks in(which is like 1/10th of a turn- not much) if the plates are not working properly like in RSX84's case, it will operate exactly like an open wheeler. because the slip is not limited.....this is assuming that his is a clutch type Lsd.

If it is viscous, then im unsure how it works but my understanding is the the oil in the viscous unit is forced thru little valves in the unit thereby causing both wheels to turn because the oil does not freely flow.......so i dont know how it would act in a jacked up situation because you wont be able to exert enough force by hand to make it work correctly.....

I know what I meant but I dont know if I have made it clear...

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
