Wooo Hooo!!!

2WAY! 2WAY1 2WAY!

the diff is in and feels fantastic.

I have just finished fitting my nismo sss 2 way. i bought a center and fitted it in my original housing. it was a bastard of a job but was well worth it.

Getting the diff out from under the car only took 45min and was easy apart from the bit where i dropped it on my little finger... then getting the center out of the housing was impossible till i decided to use a bench vice. smartest thing i did all day :D then out with the viscous, remove the crown wheel (also very hard) and swap it on to the new center.

next came the spacers either side of the new center and putting the new center in the housing was a bit fiddly then getting the 1/2 shafts in was an absolute bastard... i got the short one in 1/2 an inch and it got very very stuck...

about 65 bashes later it was back out and i noticed the c clip in the new diff was too wide to fit with the 1/2 shaft :P thank you very much mr nismo...

after figuring that out they popped in with small taps. i put the end caps on and filled the diff with 1.5 litre of penrite 80/140 synthetic and limslip additive.

gooped up the rear cover and fitted it and had some lunch.

fitting the diff back in was as easy as taking it out and it was done!

took the car for a drive and noticed immediately the difference... it does not skip in car parks or tight turns but you can feel the difference cornering even at low speed turns.

the car now under steers accelerating around roundabouts but i can deal with that that's what you get with a 2 way.

This is not really a job i would recommend for your ave ridge backyard mechanic but is doable.

the preload on the diff is perfect as is the backlash. seeming as i was quoted $700 to fit the center i am happy i was able to do it myself

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
