yeah I think $900 to do a front and rear diff change is probably about right. good going. like brad said there is no need to take the sump off to get the diff out, it was more that in the past most diff places didn't want the car, just the diff and it's housing (in this case sump) so you had to. but if award offer drive in drive out for $900 I'd be doing that.

I'm running 4.375's with an OS giken 1-5 tranny. I'm running a GT4088r so I switched to 4.375 to gain back response. I like it but it's a little annoying on the highway.

I'm planning on building a stroker or an RB30 this winter and switching the 4088r to a new borg warner EFR 8374. I will probably switch back to 4.11 or maybe even go 3.9. I believe 3.9 is stagea 4wd ratio and will bolt in. Am I correct?

yeah it's not for everyone. if you do a lot of freeway driving at 110-120 it's going to get annoying buzzing along at 3500rpm+ in 5th all the time. :)

Don't know what you mean baron, GT-R's are quiet as a mouse :P

hehe. :P well it's more just the feeling that you're revving the nuts off the thing just to do a quickish cruising speed. and I've had pretty quiet GTRs. even had one with a stock exhaust. current grey 32 has no mufflers at all. that's right. nothing between turbine wheel and complete open tip. its fairly loud but not as loud as many would think due to fairly well designed exhaust and of course two little turbos keep it quiet-ish.

people that have done this and still use your car as a street car, what did you do about your speedo? is there away to make it read right still? how far will it be out?? any idea what the top speed of that ratio would be in a r32 gtr, i geting 240klms down the eastern creek now, with only 300kw. i was thinking of changing my raitios when my motor is out, but i dont want to run out of legs on the track with 400kw

hmmmmmmmmmmm id like to do this

i think i saw some n.z 32 gtr have this done and he was really quick off the line and maxed out around 200 k's or so?

lol. umm maybe 200km in 4th gear. stock GTR gearing with stock diffs will get you 300+ (providing you have the power and the length of track to get there). with GTS4 diffs top speed drops to around 260-270ish. but you actually have a chance of getting there. acceleration is pretty lazy in 5th with stock diffs and not too much power. which is why people go to 4.375:1 for better acceleration.

you won't run out of legs at most tracks in aus even with 400kw with stock 5th gear and 4.375:1 diffs, well except bathurst and maybe P1 as you enter the straight there around 160-180km/h. You would hit the limiter down conrod for sure.

let me ask any GTR owner even with 400kw or 450kw how many can put there hands up and say they have ever hit the limiter in 5th gear with either 4.1 or 4.375 diffs?

as far as the speedo goes you can get it recalibrated, or it may be possible to use a GTS4 sender (never tried that option).

240k at eastern creek is pretty fast for 300kw. but even still with 400kw you're like to get to 260 or so.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
