Nissan Stagea Diff

K, so i got a diff today out of a mates wrecked stagea, i was told by a few people that its an R33 GTR diff with 4.3:1 ratios, can anyone confirm? it was a Dayz RS4, 1995 model.

My other question is that it had a heap of hydraulic lines and a loom with 2 plugs. I have left it all intact while removing it but wanted to know, this stagea had traction control, so were these lines for that or is it one of those Active LSD's?

In the situation that it is an Active slip diff does it require all these hoses and harnesses to be functioning for it to correctly work or can it be modified simply not to use them?

i dont have a clue about stageas so any info would be very helpful.

Cheers

Chris.

The Stagea diff I used was a 4.08 ratio (which is why I used it for my 32 GTS4, to replace a 4.375).

The loom might have been for ABS. Don't know about the hoses.

I'm guessing you want to use it in your 33. I would suggest that the simplest solution would be to just transfer the crown wheel and pinion into your existing R33 diff / centre.

4.08 ratio eh? interesting... yea ive seen on alot of 96+ model R33's they had Active slip diff's, no idea how they work tho..

What were your thoughts on the Stagea diff? did you find it alot better over your existing diff? My diff in the car at the moment is so fried, basically never acts as a LSD anymore...

I installed it because I had fitted a RB25DET into my GTS4, and the engine had more than enough torque that the 4.375 ratio was unnecessary.

The engine was from a Stagea, which gave me the front diff, so I swapped a rear diff in as well.

i see, worked well for u.

well i just pulled it out and got it home, its not an active diff as i thought, it just had all the lines for the 4wd bolted on the underside of it. so thats good, its definitely an LSD and pretty tight one at that but i dont know what to look for exactly in trying to identify it as in ratios and still curious to know if it actually is a GTR item.

What do i look for guys?

Remove the rear cover plate - the ratio should be stamped onto the crown wheel. Will be 49:12 if it's a stagea diff. GT-R is more like 37:9

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
