Let me know how it all goes once you get it done man, or do a write up, im getting tempted to weld my centre :P

^ don't weld it mate, makes daily driving a big fken nuisance (sp??) i had a locked diff in my old silvia, it was fun but very very annoying!

lockers have never really bothered me to drive with, probly a personal preferance, but i have resisted the urge to lock it n id rather sort out an lsd, so let me know how yours goes

good news, fits 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for all you 25GT guys out there, rush out and buy a R33 GTST ABS DIFF, Auto preferbly (as its got teh same ratio, 4.363) otherwise a manual 4.11 will just be fine as long as its got ABS.

:D:) can do sick skids now!

f**king Excellent! My GT will do 2's with a bit of brake feather, but goes back to single as soon as you get more than like 30 degrees of angle, i know whats next on my shopping list :D

EDIT: do the stock driveshafts bolt up?

Edited by Silver_GT

yes, stock driveshafts bolt straight up, as long as you get a 5 hole type.

ive read up that the GTST ones are stronger then the 25GT but in a NA, it doesn't really matter as its not packing much power & wont know till it breaks and i replace it with a GTST item.

Yeah thats what i thought dan, pretty much the whole suspension in a 25GT is pretty much identical a R33 GTST.

great stuff, most of the r33 and r34 stuff is interchangable. When you say that you use the stock driveshafts, do you mean that you used the stock gtst 5 bolt rear shafts? Its just every r33 na diff runs the 3x2 bolt rear shafts, the same as my r34 diff atm.

If anyone else wants to do the conversion, best to use the stock gtst manual diff, the auto diff has a ratio close to 3.5:1 which isnt very nice for a low torque engine like the rb25de

I'll be putting the r32 gtr mechanical diff in my r34 in the next few months, i'll let you guys know how it goes.

Congrates, now for some skids :)

i used the stock R34 drive shafts (mine had 5 hole type not 3x2 hole). i thought the auto diff was a higher ratio, like 4.363? (thats what my search uncovered and manual is 4.11) I know R32 GTST run 3x2hole half/drive shafts

really 5bolt shafts? my r34 diff is the crap 3x2, must have something to do with the gtfour model.

4.3ish:1 ratio is the manual gts4, 4.11 is the gtr. Autos are definately much much taller gears, around the 3.5:1

Theres a bloke i use to know that had a auto diff in his r33 (was converted to manual) and the gears on that was redicously long, as in you wouldnt bother going back to 2nd at 50km/hr to give it some shit, you go back to 1st :/

Definately wont go well with a na skiz, way way too slow

My diff has a 3x2 shaft setup and its just a normal 2wd 25gt.I am now actually confused as to what diff I actually have, All i know is 2way diff ftw :D ...

All I want now is a set of 4.3 gears to make my car accelerate a little bit quicker...

Does anyone have some for sale here in brisbane?

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
