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:

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
