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

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
