Quick couple of questions to those in the know.

I recall reading about someone who used the crown wheel and pinion from the gts4 diffs and put it inside their GTR diffs. My car is a '97 GTR v-spec and has the A-LSD in the rear with the 4.111 diff ratio.

Do the crown wheel and pinion from the gts4 diffs fit straight into the front and rear GTR diffs ? And what is the ratio of the gts4 diffs ? Someone told me 4.3 but they wern't sure.

Any other info on this swap ??

Cheers !

so i did some hunting around on the uk skylines forums.. The gts4 crown wheel and pinion swap is apparently as easy as it sounds.. and the ratio is 4.375.

Does anyone know of any other options for getting an even higher diff ratio ?? 4.5 or 4.6 ?

4.1 to 4.375 is still a fairly decent climb up mate. You would easily notice the difference in acceleration. EASILY!

Fact is, what is your budget? If you haven't got $3.5-$4k to spend on aftermarket ones, the GTS4 is the quickest set in the family as far as I know.

interesting.. what the hell is a serena :blink:

dug up a pretty cool tool that plots rpm vs speed given a set of gear ratios

hmmmmm

I told you 500rpm today.

And it's not about getting the quickest ratio on the planet, it's whether it will actually fit your application.

The GTS4 diff parts will fit your diff but the Serena (Like a Laurel crossed with a Cefiro I think) might not have the same type. Plus 4.9's are too short for you

yea its 500rpm at the top of 3rd.. but only 200rpm down at the 70km/hr range which is where its important. I was thinking of researching the 4.6's from the serena but from what i can gather it was never sold here and might be hard to track down (assuming they would even fit).

plus then i would have ford laser and soccer mum people mover parts on my car.. Starts getting rediculous :blink:

EDIT: turns out the serena was sold here... Might be worth some more research after all.

No, it's more like 300rpm in the 70k zone and 500 later on where it matters.

can anyone confirm whether the crown wheel and pinion from the gts4 will fit inside the 33 gtr v-spec A-LSD ?? I have found plenty of people who have swapped them into 32 gtr diffs and 33 gtr but they dont specifically mention if it will go into the A-LSD from the GTR's (although i believe it will).

Just looking for a definite answer if anyone has done it before ?

upon further investigation, it should fit.

the standard gtr diff is an r200v. The A-LSD version in the v-specs is an r200z. The size of the crown wheel is the same, so you can replace the cw and p from other r200 series diffs into the a-lsd.

also interestingly enough, those diffs i linked earlier from the AWD serena would also fit. If only i could get my hands on them :P

good to hear - please confirm once you've done it.

BTW I'd be very surprised if the serena front diff fits - unlikely to use the same diff in sump setup that gtr/gts4/stag uses

Yea, Dan made me aware of this the other evening. Ah well, gts4 diffs getting picked up this week. IF the diffs dont do enough, can go the gts4 gearbox too for the high gear ratio's. Will update once we've done the cwp swap.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
