R32 Diff Question

My diff whines like hell and am considering just replacing the whole housing with a 2nd hand one. My question is this, my car has ABS and from what I understand it has an ABS sensor in it. Can this sensor be transferred across into a non ABS housing. I had a look on fast and there appears to be an illustration showing the sensor. Just not sure if the ABS section can be fitted into a non-abs diff housing. Included the fast image. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

First off, do you have oil in the diff? Do you have enough oil in the diff? Do you have new oil in the diff?

Pretty sure the ABS sensors are on the output shafts of the diff. So all you need to do is transfer those from your current diff to the replacement diff.

yes, diff oil has been replaced and is filled to the correct level. it only whines on deceleration, from what i've read its the meshing of the gears that have "play" due to wear and this is what whines... anyone else???

Yes that is where the ABS sensors are, my Nismo diff came with new output shafts/flanges and they had the ABS sensors on them (my car doesn't have ABS).

Just thought I'd upload some pics of where the ABS sensor is located, for reference sake. Its on the tailshaft input and not on the driveshaft outputs. The sensor bolts into the actual housing so unless the non-abs diff has the hole blocked off I dont think its as easy as just swapping the sensor over. Thanks to the people who responded anyways. pics:

I think it would be possible to swap the internals over. But I dont really have time to be doing it right now.If I have to swap stuff over I may as well do what 'White GTS-T' said and buy a two way

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
