does anyone know where to buy a minispool for a R32 GTST?

what specs do I need to look out for and will the same mini spool fit any other cars? ie.. do I look for a R31 mini spool or something.

Cheers

Dan

Sell you a new diff cheap :thumbsup:

I thought the 32 had a borg warner :S

Was just thinking that if I weld it, if the welding breaks I will be stuck on the side of the road.

So should I just shim it up? I just want it to be predictable.. at the moment it reverts from twins to singles and it snaps back and piss's me off. Also picks up a tyre through a corner and spins it and Cant get the power to the ground evenly.

and if you put anything in that has the same effect as a minispool has a chance of breaking axels so either way... your stuck on the side of the road...

Spool on weld can break axles , welds can break resulting in pinion ,crownwheel damage or launch shit out off housing :(

Can only shim clutch type diffs, most basic Nissan use Viscous diffs.

Aslyls S14 Racecar has been on a welded GTR diff without problems. GTR is easy as you can weld the clutch plates so if the weld fails it just goes back to normal GTR LSD, If you weld other types you need to weld the spider gears and when they break shit goes everywhere.

There is a tutorial in the DIY area of the forums with a guy shimming an R33 diff.

Fairly sure R32 would be similar, he's posted step by step photos and price lists for the shims as well.

I think 3.2mm (two 1.6mm shims together) is tight enough to chirp tyres while parrallel parking etc.

It will wear out eventually but should last for a good while.

I'm sure someone of your mechanical aptitude (aren't you a tradie?) could do it at work for the price of the shims/diff oil/gaskets etc :yes:

Don't weld it up/put a minispool in. I found with my old locker in early RX7, rainy days actually required me to get sideways to go around certain corners. It's easy too do because it's so predictable but would hate to have a cop around when you have to do it.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
