Hi all,

My OS superlock 1.5 way diff from greenline is being installed at my workshop, and they told me that i needed another diff centre to obtain another half shaft in order to install it. Something about different lengths or equal length shafts needed (obviously im not a mechanic, im not even sure what these half shafts are, something inside the diff im told). I havent spoken to the shop yet, but the next message i got was they think the diff could be the wrong model or something.

Would really appreciate if someone who has installed an OS superlock 1.5way diff could shed some light. I assumed that the diff would be a simple drop in type deal, as greenline usually states any extras that are needed to fit each item, if its not supplied.

Thanks for any help guys

Is the engine still in the car?

When I tried to get a front mechanical diff, the SA OS Giken distributor's mechanic said that it's a sump off job/a lot of grinding and sold me the carbon ATS instead. The carbon ATS diff installation was straight forward with the sump still in the car.

I am actually selling the engine with the ATS diff atm. The engine is at my friend's workshop in SA. The ATS 1.5 way front diff only had around 1 drag day and 2 track days so it's barely broken in. If you want an sump with an installed diff drop me a pm SLY33.

a bit of light shed, apparently the OS diff requires Z32 half-shafts, which will fit up to my 5 bolt driveshafts. GTR half shafts can also be used but as they run a 6 bolt pattern they require matching GTR driveshafts. So currently waiting on some Z32 shafts, and will update on the situation in case anyone else has a OS superlock on order.

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
