You will need to get the rear diff out o the GTS4 skyline Na which came with the 4.4 ratios or otherwise out of the auto stagea they came with the 4.34 etc close to 4.4 thats where i got mine from, then also the gears for the front as well to suit.You will then want to get a mechanical LSD as they are not so it will become an exspensive procedure in the end between buying parts ,getting mechanical lsd, labour to do all work.

The best place that i have used and also know of alot of that alot of mechanics and enthusiast use is Award diff & gearbox 96246600 give them a call they are located in Sydney area.

Hope this helps.

cheers,

Easiest way to get the front ratio is to bolt the whole sump on (either gts4 or stagea depending which ratio you want) they are all the same.

In the rear you get the housing from the new ratio, and put back in the gtr centre and align it all up.

Like Dave I used Award for my rear diff, they did a great job

The autos come with 4.08:1 (well, that's the gearing that came with the Stagea engine I dropped into my R32 GTS4). R32 GTS4 is 4.375:1

It's probably simpler with the front diff, to just replace the diff itself, rather than the whole sump. And I found that the rear diff is a slightly different shape, so I swapped the internals into the existing diff casing.

no, they are all 4.375:1 people call it 4.4 as that is rounded off.

the ones you want are the manual R32 GTS4 diffs which are 35:8 ratio. you must get front and rear and make sure you get all the bits, crown wheels, pinions, the whole shebang. as duncan said to be sure best of getting the whole rear end and front sump. then swap the bits onto your GTR. be aware that doing the front one means engine out as getting the sump off when engine in is pretty much impossible as far as I can see.

front LSD is a good idea while you are there. and also make sure you put the rear gears onto your GTR centre as the rear GTR diff is mech LSD, rear GST4 diff is NOT so you want the new gears onto your current GTR centre.

they are hard to find though! and people who know what they have will charge you an arm and a leg for a complete pair.

yeah $1000 for a pair seems to be about the going rate. I wouldn't pay any more than that though as I can get some brand new from japan for not much more. and they are brand spanking new.

front and rear for $500 if they are complete is a good deal and is about what they used to be a few years ago before everyone started jumping on the wagon. :blush:

There are optioned gts4's out there as well I guess.. Punched my vin into fast, auto, turbo, pearl black, and 4.375:1 finals.. (from memory, it was quite a while ago but diff ratio is definitely correct still.)

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
