Hey guys,

I have done a few searches on this and have found out some info but am confused by some aswell, Through a twisted chain of events my r32 GTR has got a standard 4.11.... diff in the rear, and now as (completely installed) what appears to be a 4.364 diff in the front. NOT GOOD!

We are not exactly sure which diff it is in the front but from turning the shaft and counting rotations that what mechanic estimated it to be, around that.

What I was wondering is

1. Rather then change the fron diff, should I just leave it, and replace the rear.

1a. is there many compliactions with doing this????

2. Is it possible to switch the front diff without ripping engine out???

3. If the mechanic reckons the front diff ratio is around the 4.5 mark is there any other ratio diffs that it could be, regardless I he is gonna get in and have a look on the crown wheel, I'm just trying to see if I can start trying to source a new front or rear

If anyone has got an incite into this problem that would be a great help,

cheers guys

AsH

you really need to get in there and find out what the exact ratio is of the front diff. a common swap is GTS4 diff which is 35:8. if this is what you have in the front then I would suggest hunt down a GTS4 rear diff and use that crown wheel and pinion with your current GTR centre in the rear. then you'll have the same GTS4 ratios front to rear. if it is actually 4.364:1 I have no idea what it could be out of. I can't even think of a CW/Pinion combo that would give a ratio of 4.364. I would say it's most likely the GTS4 diff he just did some bad maths. :P

If i remember right the 4.3 final is the same final they used in the GROUP A GTR in japan, i've seen a few for sale on yahoo label nismo group a or nismo n1

group A cars used lots of different ratios all custom. they may have used a 4.3 for some tracks, but again I don't know what Crown wheel/pinion combo would give an exact 4.3 ratio.

ok..

Im re-hashing an old thread so as I dont have to start a new one.

I have an R32 GTS4 standard diff - 4.375 Diff ratio - Yes?

And is this an open diff?

Now, Im using it for drifting and im looking for a a cheap LSD.

An R32 GTR is a mechanical 2 way. Yes?

4.111 diff ratio - Yes?

Now, R200 refers to the crown wheel - 200mm - Yes?

Is an R200 diff a GTR diff?

What is the name of a GTR (Non - Vspec) LSD Diff?

Could I get a GTR diff center and drop into my housing?

Using google for "r200 GTR diff" I found some results and this site: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/243052 advises the casing's are different

All I found was "R200" diff and that its the shortnose version...

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
