V-spec Diff's

[markjh27]

Hey guys, so, i am about to put a R33 GTR V-SPEC engine into my r33 gtst. I have come accross a r33 v-spec diff real cheap. Does anybody know if they can be put into my car? it's the cener only and if so whats required? Are there any pumps or anything i needd to know of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Mark

Seeing as there were R33 GTS-T's that came standard with gtr-vspec diffs, I'd assume it would be a relatively straight foward process. I'd imagine that you'd need the power steering type resivor all the piping and the computer to control it as well.

You might want to talk to Paulr33 on here, as far as I know he has an active diff, and knows a fair bit about them. He'll probably be able to give you a better indication of the work involved.

BTW having said that and looked at the active diff in mine, I think you'd be better off putting in a mechanical. Just my 2 cents.

hi guys,

the active lsd or a-lsd present on the r33 gtst special model aka GTS25TML is the vpsec diff with finned cover and a-lsd controller.

I have this in my car and it is fairly cool to have.

however i am sure there are other cheaper mech diff's to use vs the vspec one. there is a controller unit (somewhere) in the car to detect loss of traction, when this occurs the SLIP light comes on in the dash cluster and the diff performs a diff lock and both wheels spin. the a-lsd light on the cluster is to indicate a-lsd failure and should only come on when it fails
