Nissan Patrol LSD Shim Install

[@jdk8722]

Legend mate! Love the video, best channel to watch everything you do is easy to understand and you don’t muck around 🤙🏽

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate the feedback, I try and make it as easy as possible haha!

[@jordzhowlett4719]

Literally just brought a shim a few weeks ago this video is going to help me out a lot cheers!

[@DanielKistler]

Jordz Howlett haha no worries mate, glad it can be helpful. Cheers

[@seanman6691]

Good work mate it’s nice to have it really clearly demonstrated so full credit to you there. Only thing is I’m trying to remember when I set my backlash in my front diff if I tightened by carrier preload enough... hopefully I shouldn’t have to second guess myself but a tight preload in a part time 105 cruiser is definitely something you need to have. Cheers mate

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, appreciate it. You’ll know if you didn’t tighten it up enough if it falls apart one day haha! Cheers

[@jyeroberts1539]

Good work mate explained stuff way better than my English teacher

[@DanielKistler]

Hahaha thanks mate

[@rollyb5061]

interesting vid Daniel, you covered it very well including what not to do and look out for, made it seem easy

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@MrFishShooter]

Will probably have a crack at doing it myself after seeing how easy you made it look. Fairly handy on the spanners though so shouldn't be too bad.

[@DanielKistler]

Overall it’s a pretty simple job. I think the difficult part is everything has to be 100 percent otherwise there will be problems! All about learning though mate, have a crack.

[@2strokeINTRUDER]

Very timely. I'll be doing my LSD in the next couple of weeks. I'm running an engine flush in there atm. A lot of people have reported good results just by doing that.

[@DanielKistler]

Definitely worth doing mate! Cheers

[@dylanmoncrieff8180]

Good job mate hopefully we go back to stage 3 in 2 weeks for us guys that are in stage 4

[@DanielKistler]

Hope so to mate! I think everyone is over it! Keen to get back in the bush

[@dylanmoncrieff8180]

@@DanielKistler yeah I'm getting sick of this lockdown, as soon as we are allowed out im going straight to the bush

[@DanielKistler]

That’s the way mate! I’m sure a few of us will be doing the same!

[@Jack-The-Pom]

🤙🏼good video, wish I’d seen it a couple years ago 😂 I’ve always used the 3 little screws to pull the cap back down🤣. Used both .5 and .7 shims before. Awesome upgrade 🤙🏼

[@DanielKistler]

Jack Burgess hahaha we’ve all done it. That’s how they end up snapped 😂😂. Cheers mate

[@Von_Dread]

Whats the use?

[@TheHashbrownrulz]

Nice vid keep up the good content 👌. My shims arrived last week. So I should get round to installing them soon.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Definitely get into it! Makes the car far more capable

[@pikebeau]

👍👍 great video mate love how you put in the dodgy ways too haha. You make it all sound too easy but love ya videos keep them comin 👍👍

[@DanielKistler]

Hahaha I’ve done some dodgy stuff before when you don’t have the right tools, so it’s good knowledge for someone in the same position 😂😂 thanks mate!

[@Zukuri620]

Even though this is an H233, the 3rd member is completely different than the USDM H233B found in R50, D21, WD21, Xterra, etc. The one you say is scrap are the ones we have in the USA. They work fine.

[@DanielKistler]

The small ones don’t last 2 minutes over here, no one uses them haha.

[@Zukuri620]

@@DanielKistler I wonder if the Patrol 3rd member will drop in on of the USA nose secrions. I am using 33 spline xterra axles on my H233B in my datsun 620 pickup (sr20det). Truck doesnt weigh much and is driven on street only. If you want the real beef, you run an H260.

[@DanielKistler]

@@Zukuri620 that would be interesting to find out, sounds like a pretty cool pick up though. H260 are good, it’s a shame they didn’t increase the pinion shaft size.

[@shaneturner6887]

Really enjoying the content and variety of your work man good on ya Didnt even no there where 2 different lsds hoping the solid 1 is in the gu diff if put in the Q time for a tear down and look cheers champ👍

[@DanielKistler]

Shane Turner thanks mate. If it’s an early Gu it should have the good lsd. Cheers mate

[@HavaCrack]

Good video. If you don't have bearing blue or a contact paste get a cheap tub of yellow oxide (used to colour concrete) from a hardware store (bunnings) and mix it with a bit of oil to make the paste. A bit better to see than the bearing blue when checking contact patterns. Regards Mick #patroltraction

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for the tip mate! Always handy to know. Cheers

[@phs84]

Great Video Mate, Some quality work too, well done Cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Cheers

[@michaelatkinson3787]

Keep up the good work mate!!! Legend

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@mantle4x45]

Just wondering how you would clean little rust spots off any of the parts I bought some that have been sitting outside the housing for a bit out of the weather but doing other stuff around it has left some little surface rust spot on the big gear you put bearing blue on. If you could let me know that’s be amazing!! Nice vid anyways mate very helpful thank you!

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, not 100 percent sure on the correct way but I’ve used wd40 and a fine scotchbrite pad and just give it a light go over. Thanks mate

[@mattbender3197]

Top video mate, keep up the good work 👍

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@javierr3327]

Hello from Spain, first of all thanks for your video. I have mounted the 0.5 shim, if I go straight the differential works perfect, but if I turn the shaft starts to sound a lot. It is possible the lsd is to tight?

[@DanielKistler]

Because there’s more pressure on the clutches with the shim it takes a lot more force to slip them, so all that’s happening is the lsd is slipping around the corner which is normal but the extra pressure is making them chatter

[@leeamdias1686]

Hey mate do the big lsd centers from the early Gus fit into say the 2008 housings mate.

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, all h233 lsd are interchangeable, h260 are not

[@CzarWilkins]

Nicee. I think mine is acting like an open one. The shim is sold or homemade? Pardon if you said in the video. My english is not good

[@DanielKistler]

You can buy the shim from roadrunner OffRoad. They sell it in 2 sizes, .55mm or .7mm

[@DanielKistler]

@DreadRenegade20 you need to check if it’s the small lsd or the large. But it’s all dependent on the kms of the lsd and what work it’s done. .55 is usually the go though

[@DanielKistler]

@DreadRenegade20 front and rear axle splines are different and different size so unless you can change the side gears you won’t get one in the front! If arb lockers are installed correctly you won’t have an issue, they are by far the best lockers on the market. Put one in the front and keep the lsd in the rear

[@DarrenBoxhall]

How much bearing preload do you put on the adjusters? On the main carrier bearings

[@DanielKistler]

We just nip them up. Search a little bit for a torque spec but couldn’t find one. So yeah I’ve always just nipped them up sort of firm haha. Bit vague but just don’t crank them up.

[@DarrenBoxhall]

@@DanielKistler yeah ok, I normally tighten them until the bearing race spins then a touch more. If you adjust it with the caps off, you can see when it spins showing its got 0 slop, then I go like just a touch more

[@gamer78full]

Do you have any videos of the diff working after the shim?

[@DanielKistler]

Not specifically no. Have videos where I’m driving my car with the diff it in.

[@terrynewman8783]

Good video mate, just wondered would you ever put a rear locker in it instead of shimed LSD?

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Honestly probably not haha. I like the lsd and how it works. The race car has a rear locker but only because of the rear brake set up. If it was normal I would still have an lsd

[@brandonsurace9810]

Hey mate love your videos just curious as to why some tracks you don’t say the name of ??

[@DanielKistler]

Brandon Surace a few reason which I’ll quickly point out but there is more. - the tracks on the video look easy, in reality they aren’t. If someone tries the attempt them and they are unprepared or don’t have the skills there is a high chance something could go wrong and then they close off the tracks and it ruins it for people who enjoy it. - increased traffic also means increased rubbish, that is annoying -instead of giving away the secrets of some of the funnest tracks in that area, I’d rather encourage people to go out and explore for themselves and see what they come across. There’s plenty that I Havnt seen so I try and do the same. Grab the map and go for a drive. Long list of other reasons but they are a couple thanks for watching. Cheers

[@Zeriel00]

I dont get it my Cusco LSD came with all the shims already installed. How do you determine when you want to add more? And what size? I just used the default setup Cusco 1.5 way RS

[@cesarurrutia6128]

Did mine today I got the 0.9 and it feels like it’s binding up hard might see if it settles a bit might have to pull it apart and get a Thiner shim 😢 my gq has done 530.000 k’s that’s why I went the 0.9 anyone have the same problem? Any advice muchly appreciated cheers boys keep the videos coming love your work bud 💯🍻👍

[@DanielKistler]

Is it skipping the inside wheel? Or is it chattering and slipping the lsd? Thanks for watching mate. Cheers

[@cesarurrutia6128]

Daniel Kistler chatting mate hard feels like I’m about to snap an axle

[@DanielKistler]

It will be fine. Lsd must have been pretty worn out if you put that big of a shim in there and it’s not fully locked. If you went a smaller shim the lsd wouldn’t work that well

[@cesarurrutia6128]

Daniel Kistler Yeah it had a bit of slop I went off the k’s of the car as well that’s y I jumped straight to the 0.9 see how I go keep you updated I was thinking maybe 0.7

[@davepb5798]

Don't you have to preload the bearings after setting the backlash??

[@DanielKistler]

Yes, didn’t really mention it as it has bearing preload whilst setting backlash and once it’s to spec the preload nuts are tight so it’s just a quick check before putting the keepers on.

[@jamesgleeson393]

What about 2.8 diffs?

[@stuartwhite172]

Good tip mate. What ratio do you run?

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. 4.6s. Although the wagon currently has 4.1s. It did have 4.6s and now going back to 4.6 😂

[@keyzerdos134]

Love this, cheers mate 🤙 i don't own a pooey, but I wonder how different a landcruiser diff could be? The LSD in cruisers are dogshit

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Yeah I couldn’t tell you. But what I do know is they are terrible hahaha! Rear locker for the cruiser!

[@Cfu72]

hello how much per cent it locks now ??

[@DanielKistler]

It’s a bit hard to represent that as a percentage haha. Like 60-70 I guess

[@spoofking91]

If you don’t mind me asking mate, are you a diesel mechanic by trade? Cheers

[@DanielKistler]

My brother is. I’m a chippy by trade haha just always played with cars.

[@spoofking91]

Daniel Kistler That’s awesome mate, you’re very skilled working on the rigs too. Loving the uploads 👍🏼

[@medveds1]

Can you do this mod on the later model patrols ie 06 crd?

[@DanielKistler]

Providing it has this style of lsd then yes!

[@wadejensen3301]

Fuck me that's a lot of work to put in a shim!

If you weren’t making a video it’s about 30 minutes work and it’s easy haha. Definitely not a lot of work.

[@chrisbeerad8835]

Can ya buy new clutch plates anywhere besides nissan ? if im gonna do this on a 400k plus old diff ide like new plates as well

[@DanielKistler]

Not 100 percent sure where to get them, but if you get a complete new set you shouldn’t need to shim it, that’s what the shim is for to put more pressure on the clutch packs as it wears out

[@chrisbeerad8835]

@@DanielKistler yeah makes sense . Cheers mate
