What did you pay for it bubba? I just got a kazz in mine, $900 delivered. Came with bearings seals and new gasket. Were the Nismo half shafts any thicker?

A little over $1100 delivered I think (bought a heap of stuff from Nengun at the same time). The half shafts were just standard OEM but they were same length instead of offset length like the stockers I pulled out..

Hi mate,

i recently bought an OS giken 1.5way from greenline for my S1 33gts-t, and encountered the same problem as you. At first we thought we had been delivered the wrong diff, but checked and it was correct.

we ordered the appropriate new half shafts from nissan.

A small note explaining the half shaft requirements should be included in the online item description, would have saved me some time!

i think you can use 32gtr half shafts, but then you will need 32gtr rear drive shafts if im not mistaken.

cheers.

^^^ if they need GTR shafts then you need GTR outer hubs as the axles are thicker... i dont reckon this is the right solution.

i have not encountered this problem as all the NISMO diffs ive used come with half shafts (but the shafts are the same as many std ones). The OSGIKEN one in our race car just needed two short ones instead of the STD one long one short setup. I just pulled them out of a spare r33 diff i had lying around.

That's interesting, my Nismo diff used two long ones.

    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
    • 75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive. 
    • Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof
    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
