my understanding of it all is u need the entire arse end from rotor to rotor the bodies are the same so the suspension just bolts in. im not sure if the tailshafts flanges are the same tho sumthing i never really checked... ne one correct me if im wrong

just outta curiousity wat are u doing to break shafts and wat sorta power are u pushing

OK so would it be beta to get the 33 gtr rear end? Its blown a couple at the dragest leavin the line it is manual so its expected to snap something! the lastest shaft and now the diff was done on the street only makin just over 400 bhp cant remember torque exactly tho but it makes a fair amount off that to!

Ye its the stock gear box manual with a jim berry special heavy duty clutch!!!!

I purchased a r33 gtr rear end complete today all gettin ready to go in now but i do have a question if anyone knows about this conversion....

HOw do u go about connectin the tailshaft to the diff as the gtr diff is 5 bolt and the gts-t is 4???? can u change the flage off the gts-tdiff to the gtrdiff or what happens????

i think u can just change the flange im not 100% sure on that but there all r200 diffs sum just long snout and sum short but i couldnt tell ya... if ya capable enough to pull the cradle out on ur own then u should be capable enough to check if that can be changed over... let us know neways and let me know how that gtr rear end goes... ive seen cars up here with semi slick launching one fully stock arse end and never breaking a drivehshaft.... car had bout 500hp tho

Ye im gonna find out shortly where i can change my original yoke(flange) over to the gtr one or not all depends on the spline inside if its the same or not or a can get a flange made up to suit the gtr diff but also fit my tailshaft depends on the length difference to the shaft!!! or i modify my tail shaft to fit the gtr diff few options i have will find out soon enough!!!

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
