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...

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
