IF I WAS YOU I'D GO WITH THE FIRST OPTION( WASTE OF TIME) IF THE OUT COME OF SHIMMING IT UP WAS ALMOST AS GOOD EVERY ONE WOULD DO THAT INSTEAD AND IT IS PROBABLY ONLY A LITTLE GIT CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN, AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS IS STILL A VISCOUS AND IS NOT DESIGHNED TO DO WAT YOU ASK OF IT,

IF YOU GO TO WWW.GARAGE-13.COM THEY HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD PRICES ON NEW AND USED 1.5 AND 2 WAY DIFF CENTRES AND YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH SOME CHANGE FROM $1000 ALL THE SECOND HAND DIFFS ARE STRIPED AND CHECKED OUT BY PROS SO IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST OPTION.

HOPE THIS INFO WILL HELP.

Hey i'm thinking about shimming my standard viscous lsd. I'd like to hear from ppl who've done it.

I've heard everything from its a waste of time, to it almost makes it like a locker.

Opinions?

sorry if my reply does'nt related to your questions.i'm quite new about all this thing.

i ve installed a standard viscous lsd to my ceffy..probably same with u.My problem is when taking a corner at a lower speed ,there is some strange noise i heard from the rear axle....it normal ?

Strange noise would be associated with something being wrong or the diff not being a V-LSD. Ie, a mechanical 1, 1.5 or 2 way would make clunking noises around corners.

More related to this thread, I spoke to 2 diff places who said they would be happy to shim the diff, although they called it something else I can't remember now, but said it would probably blow up in about 6 months and I shouldn't waste my time. Also said it's nowhere near as good as a mechanical one.

GTRs come with a mechanical diff as opposed the the viscous in the GTST. We use a shimmed standard diff in the race car and it is nice and tight.....we've too tight for a street car but you can get them looser :cheers:

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
