Piping engine mounts ect, and how do you graft the awd to the engine? the front diff is more or less in the sump so i imagine there would be some tricky work to be done there

My sump can be modified and used for the VG. I'll have to wait till Dan reads this to find out about mounts and piping, but he said that overall it's much of a muchness between doing the 25 and doing the VG.

Colin. I can NOT afford a VQ turbo. Plain and simple, I just bloody can't. Yes it might be more jizzworthy, but I simply cannot afford one, and am not throwing that much money into the 32.

anything over 250awkw means broken diffs and gear boxes, and the gayest part about it is that there is no good aftermarket alternative so you just have to keep feeding it stock bits

That is gay. They must of solved this problem in the later models as there are a few of them running some pretty serious power with GT35rs n whatnot..

If all the stock stuff fits then you should be laughing. Fair enough if moneys tight. Do a VH instead :P

Yeah, by the sounds of it, that's MOSTLY the case. But I'll see what Dan says :P

Rego and insurance costs say no to VH :P

seriously though if money is an issue and you plan on selling it anyway...just get a r34 turbo and computer with the usual exhaust and stuff and make 300hp for much less

nope, got worse, the active diff is very prone to breaking and the 6 speed box is pretty shit too! the guys with the 35Rs are the dudes i spoke to, one guy out at qr was on gearbox 3, rear diff 4 and front diff 3. Once they come up with a solution i might think about getting one!

I want to keep the 32 for track duties once I buy a 34. So I was thinking if it's got a 300hp motor sitting in it already, then I can play around adding more power once I've got a place to use it legally.

Money isn't so much an issue, it's more than I don't want to dump a fortune on power upgrades when I'm not using the power. I won't be using 500hp on the street, so I'm not going to use money I could be saving for my 34 to get it to 500hp.

    • With permission granted from the SAU admin (thanks Christian!) I'd like to introduce a new website "OEM Soko" (OEM -> Original Equipment Manufacturer, Soko -> Warehouse) https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/ It's a family business registered in Japan and owned by my wife (Japanese) with myself running the website and shipping side and doing all the English translations/dealing with clients in English. My son is also involved part time while studying. The business has been registered since 2016 but never promoted outside Japan until now due to other obligations.  So what service does OEM Soko offer? In a nutshell: Anything worth shipping from Japan via Japan Post EMS. It's primary focus is Automotive accessories and hobby related items such as model cars etc, however there's also a "Vintage Soko" section dealing with used items and categories like Car cleaning and Tools. There's also a category "Nifty items" which includes any items we come across that are a) made in Japan, and b) have some sort of "nifty" attribute.  By all means please take a look and let me know your thoughts or any feedback here in this thread. We're updating the products all the time and although it's not 'populated' so much at this stage, by checking up on what's new I'm sure there'll be something to pique your interest! * As an introductory offer to SAU members we'll throw in a "Car Wash Japan" Made in Japan 30cm x 30cm microfiber cloth with any order regardless of value! Just put your SAU member name and a link to your SAU profile in the "Order special instructions" section in the Shopping Cart (see attached image) to receive this free gift! 🙂👍 We're always open to any request for items from Japan no matter what it is, automotive related or not, so by all means please use the Contact form to send your request here! :  https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/pages/contact
    • Hi Dave and welcome! 
    • I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).
    • I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.
    • Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.
