Picking up a 2nd hand Nismo 1.5way next Jan and would prefer to take my car directly to the specialist, rather have a middle man remove my diff, send it off, have the centres replaces, have it sent back, then re-installed and filled with oil.

I'd probably save $$$ dropping the car off.

What's roughly this gonna cost me for R33 GTS-T,

The Nismo is still inside an S15 diff housing and looks like it's done very little work.

Any recommendations please.

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll certainly get a quote in the new year.

Anyone know how much roughly it'll cost.

Again, I'll be dropping off my car along another diff housing containing the Nismo Pro for swap over.

Cheers.

Im removing the diff myself and taking it to Award to get the centres swapped and the new diff played with a bit to get it the way i want it.

$500 i was quoted.

I wasnt aware that Award did R&Rs aswell?

I dont see how you will save though as you will be paying Award to take it out and put it back in, whomever pulls it out will charge you.

this is the quote I got from them:

1. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in the vehicle (drive in/out) would be $690.00. We would need the vehicle for 1 day.

2. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff would be $525.00

3. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff and supply all parts would be $250.00

Just as I thought.

My mechs estimate 1.5 -2 hrs to remove it, same again to install plus oil, plus freight both ways.

That'll be another $500 easy.

Beauty, drive in/out is the go.

Thanks for that. :)

Will I need new short shafts ?

I'm simply putting the Nismo centre straight into my GTS-T housing.

I was told the Nismo centre is the same for numerous model Nissans.

Cheers.

Just pray that the nismo centre is the old school type, because it will fit the stock half shalfs, if it's the newer type you will need Nismo specific half shalfs. I have a Nismo centre sitting at home waiting to be fitted next year when I got the time/money.

The previous owner assures me it uses the stock half shafts.

BUT in your case, if it doesn't work, you're kinda screwed, because S15 half shafts have a 3x2 bolt pattern.

Hmmm $690 is a pretty good price for drive in drive out (supplied)

I think id rather pay the $190 and leave the headache to them lol

Yeh mate, and then there's the warranty issue.

I want it all done by the one mech so the warranty stands uncomplicated.

No mate, I don't want the S15 ratio.

I'll be overtaking the Veyron.

Simple swap over from housing to housing.

Spoke to Award today, they mentioned my shafts MAY not fit due to possibility of incompatible length.

And they won't know until they open it up.

So it sounds like you're right.

Cheers.

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
