Hi All

I have a 2001 V spec diff that wanna fit into a R34 cradle, Not only the diff cant fully submerge into the bolting position; but also one side of the half shaft has about 10mm gap between them~!

I have no idea why, Do R34 gtr come with different types of diffs and cradles?! HELP!

:)

Hum, Not sure if there is suppose to be a spacer for it.

I don't acually have a skyline, I'm trying to fit the cradle into the S15. Brought the GTR cradle, uprights and two shafts which originally belong to a V spec R34. I've brought the V-spec 2 diff back then so I asked him to remove the original v-spec diff out.

After 1 month of gathering parts, I tried to fit the diff in and realised they don't fit. Diff cant fully bolt onto the cradle and one side has 10-15mm gap between the diff and shaft!....:S

Don't know what to do. I suppose I can grind the cradle Bed and make up a spacer for the shaft (I work in a manufacturing factory as process engineer, can get all these parts made easy). But I wonder if they are differences betwen V-spec 1 and V-spec 2.....

Just for those who might come across the same f*k up I have.

R34 GTR V-spec 2 wont fit V-spec 1 nor Non-vspec cradle. As bridge (front mounting) of Vspec2 cradle is sitting alot higher than others.....

I removed the rear bushes, grind the bridge base.. and the damn diff is still sitting at a different angle.! lol. oh well. might just go mechanical diff. save me hell lot of work/money.

      Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers

      Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8

      Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz

      Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
