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.

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:

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 路 Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 路 Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin 路 Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
