Can anyone recommend a good suspension place preferably in SE suburbs? I need some bump steer corrected. Thanks

OK, I sourced a complete S15 manual diff centre from On Boost Auto (good price, good service) and it's in. Except they forgot to send half the bolts for the inner/outer half shafts. So I'm six bolts short and I've called them back but they don't have any more in the yard at the moment. It's been a few months since it arrived and me actually cleaning and fitting it. I've tried a few bolt places but can't find a match or anything suitable to replace them in high tensile. I thought I'd post here in case anyone has a spare set, perhaps from a broken diff or leftover from a conversion? We're talking about the 3 sets of 2 bolts/nuts/washers on each side of the diff that holds the inner/outer shafters together. Total of 6 required, S15 centre. Any other suggestions welcome! Paul

I just spoke to Garry Rogers (large Nissan dealership in Melb) and they reckon LSD oil is required for the S15 6spd manual (helical). Where did you hear that it shouldn't be LSD oil?

Yes but you only said pinion and crown wheel, which leaves the centre out of it. Not to worry, I've sourced an S15 diff complete with half/drive shafts from Sydney and it's a straight swap. Cheers

Thanks. Have you done this conversion? I spoke to a diff place and they said going from viscous to helical will probably mean I have to change the LSD centre as well. Anyone know if I just get a complete S15 diff with half shafts, will it bolt straight into the R33 cradle once I've swapped the back covers?

I've got an R33 rear end with 4.11 or 4.3 gears in my AC Cobra replica. I'm running a 6 speed behind a 6.0L V8 and need to fit the lower ratio 3.692 from the S15 into this cradle. Does anyone know for sure whether or not I need half shafts and CVs from the S15 or just the diff centre? I understand the R33 diff backing plate may need to be swapped over to the S15 diff. Can anyone recommend a Jap wrecker in Melbourne metro? Also what's the going rate for a used S15 diff? Otherwise a good performance shop that may sell KAAZ/Nismo diff centre new? Thanks in advance!

I also have a 4.11 centre and shafts from an R33 and I'm looking for an S15 3.692 centre. Are you interested in swapping? Hoping we can work something out! Does anyone know whether the half shafts need to be swapped with the centres? Mine's from a 25t.

Boxhead? It's a Harrison - and you should be able to work out who I am.

Hello, I've just fitted an R33 IRS and diff to my Cobra project car. This car is new from the ground up with the exception of some suspension components, eg, VS Commodore front hubs, Nissan rear, etc. The rubber components in the cradle and diff all look ok but they're certainly not new. I'm wondering is it possible to service or refit all those components or at least get them checked by someone with good knowledge of the R33 suspension? I'm based in Melbourne. Many thanks, Paul
