I have a GTR front diff/sump. After taking the diff cover off i found the crown wheel has 48 teeth (should be 37 for a R32 / R33) and the markings show LS48.11 What is the ratio ? I think it works out at 4.3+.1 ? Strange as i thought R32 & R33 are 4.1 and R34 3.5 Any thoughts please

The 48:11 means there are 48 teeth on the crown wheel, and 11 on the pinion. Which is 4.364:1 . And I'm guessing 'LS' means 'Limited Slip'.

The previous owner has obviously changed the gearing for some reason.

yes and standard 32/33 GTR is 4.11:1 (37:9 from memory). the GTS4 35:8 (4.375:1) is a common upgrade as you can get front and rear that fit into a 32 GTR. I can't say I know what comes with a 4.36:1 ratio... if you've been having any AWD problems it's worth checking your rear diff to make sure the ratios match.

Thanks for the replies. I should explain that i have a R32 GTR with standard diffs and purchased this one as a spare (diff & sump) I was just checking the condition and found the odd ratio. Would this diff center fit another nissan diff housing eg. 240K/Skyline ?

It looks like no other ring gear/pinion patterns are compatible with the F160?

There might be something out there, but I'm not aware of it.

Do you know of any, I want to severly drop the ratio up front and put a 3.26 or so in the rear

The closest you'll get in terms of that sort of ratio for both front and rear diffs is from R34 GTR, which is around 3.6 from memory. That's in terms of reasonably readily available, there also might be something aftermarket, of course.

Unfortunately I need lower than the gtr ratio's

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
