  1. As per title trying to find a lewis sump which has the conversion style pickup, to suit AWD RB being converted to RWD I am contactable here or 0437 771 534. Located Newcastle can pay for post, open to new or used.
  2. Me and a mate will join from Newcastle, aiming to be at the halfway point at 1130
  3. Awesome project. I recently put a gtr rear diff in my S13 and wondered how the front one might fit too, what sort of times has it run?
  4. Hi guys, Keen to share my results, hopefully they might help others in choosing their setup. S1 RB25det, 2013 ATR43SS1PU turbo, stock manifolds, 3" exhaust 100cell cat, megasquirt ECU, splitfires, sard 850cc injectors, DW300 pump, undersized intercooler (high intake temps and around 4psi drop). Graph shows 98 on gate pressure vs ethanol with a little more boost.
  5. Hi guys, Had these a few years but would have only done 5,000km in perfect working order $280ono Newcastle NSW
  6. Are all the z32s r230? Or could be an NA z32 r200 size? My r200 crown wheel fits on it fine which is what made me think it's not an r230/z32?
  7. Thanks for looking that up. I will have to see if there is a part number on it anywhere, currently it's at a shop. The guy I bought it off said removed from 32 gtr, and it came with stub axles/half shafts which are 6x1, which makes it seem to be correct?
  8. Hello guys, I have had an ongoing saga trying to fit a GTR centre into my R200 housing in S13. I have purchased a used Nismo Gt Pro, to suit 32 gtr, and went to fit to my R200 housing. I went with GTR centre due to swapping to 32 GTR 6x1 CV shafts etc on the Silvia. It didn't fit in the housing, so I bought a 32 GTR complete diff (non active diff) and tried that. The Nismo centre still doesn't fit in either my S13 housing, OR the 32 GTR housing. A comparison photo shows that the Nismo is approx 15mm wider than the stock mechanical GTR centre. I am wondering if anyone can identify what is going on? Could the Nismo be from something else? Could it be to replace a 32 GTR active centre rather than mechanical and is that centre usually wider? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  9. Great project mate. Did the m3 get the strengthened floor in rear from factory? My mate ripped the floor out where the diff/subframe mounts in his!
  10. Hey mate not sure if this will help or not, i purchased a nismo gt pro to suit 32 gtr. Went to fit it to my viscous housing r200 (in s13) and couldn't get the center to fit in housing. I ended up buying a complete 32 gtr diff and am getting a shop to swap it all over. So next week i may be able to get it back and check the shafts etc for ya but as gtsboy said not sure if they'll match yours or not
  11. Thanks for the offer man really appreciate it. I am in Newcastle yeah, thought you were interstate for some reason. I think I am just going to buy a gtr diff and swap it all across. Hopefully can sell one of the centres again after its all working. The car is now stuck on someone else's hoist so I'll need to sort it relatively quickly. I dropped it all to a mate who just took over a workshop so hopefully he can check the ratio and i can source something close. That was the other motivation behind keeping my diff - didn't want to change ratio if i didn't have to.
  12. Yeah, it came with matching half shafts and bearings. Completely agree re looking close enough but then just won't quite fit! Costs a lot of time messing around. I think ill take it to a shop today for a second opinion, but ultimately as you said buy another diff and see if it fits in there, and mod the front flange to suit my tailshaft. I considered trying to machine my housing out a bit but think it's a waste of time and money and still may not work
  13. It appears that the nismo carrier is wider than the vlsd carrier. Could the internals be swapped or dreaming?
  14. Hi Everyone, After looking around for quite a while for a bulletproof diff and cv combo for my silvia. I ended up purchasing 32gtr hubs and cvs, and searching for matching diff. Wanting to keep my ratio, i stumbled across a nismo gt pro 2way to suit 32 gtr, just the centre, and stub axles with bearings. I did some looking around and figured i can swap my crown wheel on, and chuck it in my housing. Today i made good progress but am stuck at getting this center into my diff housing. It seems very tight and not in completely yet, with zero shims or spacers. Does anyone know if i have missed something in my thought process, or do i just need to keep shoving it in? My housing was originally a viscous lsd, r200. Appreciate any advice! I am not a diff expert so may have missed something simple too....
  15. car looks fantastic mate, the paint really transformed it!
  16. Fast forward a few weeks to the present, I have completed the engine bay loom! Just have to do the in cabin wiring now. I'm pretty happy with the look for a first time out, as long as it all functions! Also swapped all the blue silicone to black. Small things can make a big difference. +10kw anyone? The breadboard knows whats up And also got to purchase a new diff from a forum member, which involved a quick trip to Gosford. Great to meet a few of you, and sorry that I had to run off. I hope to be at a few track events with the club soon! The GTR shafts and 2 way should be future proof and handle way more than my power. I wanted to do it once and for all and be able to drive the car from Newcastle to the track or drags, go hard and drive home again. Balancer refitted with new trigger setup, hopefully eliminates belt flex and gives a nice clean signal. The subframe should come out next weekend, diff build, then refit and it's tuning time, getting excited now.
  17. Yesterday was a big day of wiring, with the ecu placed into final position and some more loom run. I'm happy to see the ecu will fit under the standard kick panel!
  18. A few progress notes, may help others who find themselves in my position. I'm sure some of this info is already out there but nonetheless may help others finding it here. I hope the info is correct but if not feel free to let me know - I am no expert and my car isn't running again just yet! The loom was all removed and found it's new home on the loungeroom floor for a while. After removal I had to check a couple of wires I wasn't sure if they were still needed or not. The first stop was the lower engine loom - which was connected below the injector sub loom. This traces to the knock sensors and a few grounds (and one other thing I can't recall) but all up will not be used for my purpose. Next I found that a number of wires in the body loom had been terminated already (probably when this car was converted to RB25) but some were still in use as per below. Red - constant + Black with red trace - switched (ign) + Brown - another + Black with pink trace - fuel pump relay trigger Some of these will be discarded, some will be reused to power ecu/trigger relays etc. The dash connector (smallest connector above ) plugs in at corner of glovebox. You can see from previous pic most of the wires have been cut off and taped up. The only ones in use are: Yellow/red - Tacho Yellow/green - Speed Orange - Ignition start Blue/black - Coolant temp Black - Ground Next step was to mount the new sensors, MAP and flex, along with boost solenoid and ecu. Flex sensor sourced from a wrecker ex commodore. I have swapped to series 2 style coilpacks, with the built in ignitors. I did this to eliminate some complication and another point of potential failure down the track. Interesting note that the mounting is slightly different for anyone planning the coilpack swap, but they do fit. Mine are currently only held by 1 bolt as sizing is different, but they are in there fine. S1 S2 Sorting the new ecu wires into an engine bay pile and a non used or cabin pile I have also run a fresh clean power supply via relay and fuse to power engine bay. This is mounted with radiator fan relay. Managed to pick up a new cooler too which will be the next project, it's been hard to find any info on my current one but the new one appears to have a similar core, width of 590 vs 400 current. Same thickness and height. Hopefully there's a notable improvement (if needed).
  19. Hi Guys, I have looked around on here for a while on and off, looking at GTR's I can't afford and other build threads. Time to get amongst it and start a proper build thread! I bought my S13 a good few years ago now, and did some minor bits and pieces bringing it up to scratch while learning the basics. It already had an RB25 but just with a stock turbo etc. Owning an S chassis but joining the skyline forum was mainly because I wanted to spend weeks upon weeks of my life reading on the RB25 turbo upgrade thread, which led me to purchasing a hypergear SS1PU, and the fun began from there.... Hypergear ATR43SS1PU turbo Yellow jacket coilpacks AEM Wideband and boost guages 3inch metal intake to suit turbo High flow cat Removed A/C compressor SARD 850cc injectors Along with fixing up radiator issues and wiring, this was my first learning project. Around late 2013 I left my job and moved towns, which meant the S13 had to stay with a mate for a while. Using up all my annual leave I drove the car to Sydney and got a road tune done by Toshi. It was an epic trip from Tamworth with no radio or A/C but after a couple days the tune was finished. It made roughly 220rwkw on the dyno - maybe not quite what I had hoped for at the time but nonetheless was good to get it finished. This was with the ATR43SS1PU Hypergear on 98. It was the middle of December and it seemed to have a bit of wheelspin on the dyno etc - you can think of all the excuses you want - that's all it had to give. Driving home I was very happy. It certainly had the fat midrange I wanted and felt very quick. Every now and then I went back to my hometown for a drive and entered a few motorkhanas and burnt plenty of tyres off. While living apart I got some help from mates and added rear camber arms, welded up the diff (shimming wasn't going to be enough very worn), and put some much needed BC BR coilovers under it. It also got a nice set of 17" work wheels (albeit used) to accommodate knuckles (which still havent happened...). The car was feeling a heap better. New wheels and it's last cruise before retirement into paddock... Time gets away from us and eventually the car wasn't driven - collected weeds and sat in a paddock for about a year and a half. Every time you'd try to start it it would flood itself and then the fuel was stale and it all became too hard with time commitments. In the meantime I bought myself an XR6T and got active on their forums. We modded it in the shed and it has been to Sydney Dragway plenty of times. This is my daily and keeps me pretty entertained and comfortable. Recently I was trying to work out what to do with this poor car, and I decided it was time to bring it down here. The decision was made and I started ordering parts. A little prep work was done on the car before it was towed down here and it now lives around Newcastle. Currently it is in the process of having all the crap removed - aim is to have the car nice and reliable and working properly ready for weekend use when I want it. Drives to Eastern Creek and hillclimb events are the final aim. I have purchased a Megasquirt and have to learn how to wire it up now. I want to integrate boost control and cooling fans which are run separately now, and have some extra features such as flex fuel, launch/flatshift and of course the usual things such as a decent cold start and IAT correction. There will also be a sensor reading harmonic balancer for trigger instead of CAS (used for sync still) to eliminate a previous megasquirt issue and eliminate belt flex etc. The ultimate goal is a car ready to run in any conditions, drive to and from tracks using either e85 or 98 depending on availability. I have a couple of knowledgeable friends who have used megasquirt in the past to help along the way.
