Yet another r31 question,

The rb30det in stock form is supposed to put out 150kw at the flywheel stock. My R31 was originally auto and non turbo. With the rb30det and a 5 speed manual, will the borg warner auto diff put up with the punishent that the rb30det and 5 speed put out?

And would anybody be able to tell me what the diff ratio for the auto and manual is ?

I guess the speedo will be affected if a diff change is done?

Not RB30DET, you're talking about the RB30ET.

If you're running a stock turbo setup, it will cope with the abuse for a little while, but it will definetly not last as long as if you were to leave it standard of course. It all depends on how you treat it. If you putter around and only open it up here & there, drive it responsibly then it will probably last for a decent about of time. If you flog the arse out of it everywhere you go, drop burnouts and drive everywhere sideways then say goodbye to it VERY quicky.

Manual ratio is 3.7 and the auto is 3.9. If you change the diff ratio then yes your speedo will miss read. I'd leave the 3.9 ratio in there anyway due to the better acceleration.

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
