Something's been bugging me for a while. I have a stock ECR33 LSD (center) at my shed which is from a R200 Casing. I know it's a longshot to ask, but will it fit into this R31 R200 Longnose Diff Case? I think the answer is no right?

I think my diff is open as well. Will need a LSD option fitted when my project starts. Hard to find one nowadays. Don't know if mine's 25 or 28 spline axle's. Maybe the Australian Silhouette version will fit. I heard it has 28 spline axles.

Have you got the Borg Warner (aus) or H190 (import)?

I think centers are only interchangeable withing the same length diffs

The engine cover looks like all our RB30 motors, i.e. single cam RB Motor (not a CA). All RB Engined cars in Australia (both GM Holden and Nissan) were EFI (i.e. RB30E).

The Interior shots look like a Series 1 R31 Skyline.

Almost all R31s in Australia had solid (live) rear axle. Only the HR31 (i.e. rare 2 door) had Independant Rear Suspension.

I think i already saw it answered, but there were carby RB30's which are from the Nissan Patrols

Interior shot is standard import interior. Import Seats + trim, double din, cable driven cluster, complete black dash just to name a few

All Australian R31's had a 'solid' borgwarner rear axle. Most imports had IRS although not all, there were some with a H180/H190 solid rear axle, specifically on the lower spec cars and the Passage wagons.

Mind you, there is only one Aussie Skyline, it's a bit of a pig except for the Gibson cars S1 & S2 GTS's compared to previous and later models.

SVD, not gibson :D

If you have a solid rear axle it will be either 25 or 28 spline. In australia ALL R31 skylines had 28 spline, and the R31 pintara had 25 spline axles (these were CA20 powered)

No, R33 are Short nose R200's. R31's have long nose the gearsets between the two which i had were not interchangable (edit: wrote short twice)

SVD was not owned by gibson motorsport. They built the original prototype SVD cars (exa GP, visous vectors, GTS R31's) for Fred Gibson

SVD was started by Paul Beringer who was the enginer and designer and Howard Marsden who was product development/Nissan motor sport

I might be wrong, but I have been led to believe that Gibson Motorsport were the builders of both the R31 GTS vehicles that carried SVD decals.

If this is correct your being pedantic, splitting hairs so to speak.

D

All R31's started out life as standard GX's off the production line in Clayton, they were then shipped off to Nissan SVD in Dandenong where they were then hand produced to be the GTS's we know.

Howard employed Fred Gibson to look after Nissan Motorsport. He ended up buying it out for which was known as Gibson Motorsport. Fred was over in Japan a lot and learned about what they had been doing with the engines over there. Some of his input went towards ideas for the GTS's and it was up to Paul and Howard to design the car to comply with the Australian Rules at the time.

Out of all the people i work with now, we are the Nissan Brains trust. It is guarantee'd we know more about Nissan, than Nissan. hahaha

(We have ex-Nissan employees working here) + we are part of the Nissan Historic race team. :rolleyes:

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
