Diff - LSD Trouble - Help!!! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi everyone

I need some expert advice on this problem, and maybe if anyone else has the same issue then it may help them too...

I am thinking on buying this very nice looking 1991 2WD GTS-T Type M.

Everything looks good inside, engine bay, bodywork etc etc.

When I was test driving it, on a straight road, the car pulls nicely no problems.....but then when I wanted to go around this small roundabout on first gear then second gear, all of a sudden the back of the car sharted to shake like mad and this weird noise like "cluck" "cluck".... was coming from the back.

I am not sure if the car has a aftermarket LSD??
Is there a quick way to find out??
What else could be the problem??
Is it time to change diff / LSD??

After speaking to some people, they said that LSDs only make noise when cornering not shake the back of the car and with correct oil, this noise should disappear...

So any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Is it normal for it to do that?

Whats the easiest way to fix it?

Thanks again

It sounds completly normal to me.. Mine behaves exactly the same

That is normal, Mine does the same, you do get used to it by driving different on tight round abouts,
But when you hit the track you will love this diff, even on long fast A roads you will feel the difference.
Keep with it, you wont regret it.
