All,

So i am finally booked in to get my twin plate installed, and the 26/30 retuned. Now my mind is thinking on the fact that the next most likely thing to go is the diff and driveshafts after tyres.

I Have been told that i can upgrade to a GTR Diff, and driveshafts, but i have zero understanding of that area mechanically.

Is there any sticky or repository of info onm this gear. Any suggestions that aren't going to include lots of expensive Jap aftermarket gear.

Thanks

Yeah the GTR diff is meant to be pretty good if you fit the Nismo friction plate kits as I've read on here.

The GTST diff/driveshaft flange should bolt onto the GTR diff and then the GTST tailshaft would fit up.

If you use the GTR hubs then your shocks won't fit though because the GTR shocks have a fork set up on the lower end instead of the GTST eyelet style.

Maybe you could use the GTST hubs with GTR axle bearings to suit the bigger half shafts?

This is purely speculation on my part. I'm quite interested in that idea as I currently have a whole GTR rear subframe and diff etc sitting next to my R33 GTST.

you can purchase a brand new diff like a kazz, nismo, cusco, tomie....all come in 1 way,1.5way, 2 way. kazz diffs start from $1100 delivered and are well known and and are really great.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
