The R200 diffs are quite strong.

They don't tend to simply blow, they tend to start openwheeling once you up the power level with a 10+yr old diff.

They can be tightened to stop the single spinning for around $350 or so.

Mine open wheels a fair bit now... when you say tightened is that what re-shimmed means? how hard is it to do yourself?

They replace the shims that work on the viscous coupling for the lsd. They put thicker shims in and it in turn tightens your diff, however they also become losser faster once this mod is done as there is more pressure than standard... I would suggest a mechanical diff, however no one should have problems with a modded standard item till at least 250rwkw+. As a side note these diffs are incredibly strong as skyline owners we should all thank our stars that our diffs take 5 times the factory power out put and more and live on, they only ever really suffer drive shaft failures in full own gtr drag cars and even then the remidee is an easy one!!!

Hope this helps

jnr32r,

Since the RB30 went in all mine does is open wheel. :)

The other day I planted it in second from low rpm, one wheel spun up and ploomed the right wheel guard. :)

Looked cool in the side mirror, reminded me of the 16-17yr old days when I first got my license with the TE Cortina. :)

with "re-shimming" is that just the same as getting your diff rebuilt??

if not, can anyone share what the difference is?

no. a rebuild will be to stock spec.

Shimming it up will make it almost as good as an aftermarket locker at 1/3 the price.

Did it with my diff... ive done drag days, and some hard km's. 12 months on no signs of wear or it breaking down

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
