4.11 Too Tall For Rb30dett In R32 Gtr?

Hey guys,

Well I have been very happy with my rb30dett so far and I love it.

Problem I have is that 5th gear seems to run out of legs. Would this be caused by the diff ratio mismatch now? I am considering a 6spd getrag conversion, but maybe I can go to a 3.7 diff instead to resolve this? Not too mention it's cheaper.

Just seems like it wants that 6th gear now when your at the end of 5th.

Thoughts? Remember your talking to a diff/gearbox ratio n00b here. :whistling:

If you are running this in a GTR I do not think you will find a 3.7s set in factory form. If it were RWD only you could get a crown and pinion from a 200sx.

The effect would be a 15% increase in gear length. 100kmh would become 115kmh at the same revs, so on and so forth. If you are topping out at 260 it will give you the ability to get very close to 300kmh.

However, last I remember R32 GTR's have stupendously long gears to begin with ? :whistling:

dude top of 5th gear is well over 260 km/h? where on earth are you topping out 5th gear? and what mismatch? you still presumably have the same diffs and same gearbox you did with the RB26? and the engine should pull about the same rpm? when you say running out of legs do you mean it's not pulling hard at the top of the rev range? if so it sounds like you've gone backwards?!

BTW, 3.7 with a 32 box would give you an astronomical top speed. around 320km/h and you'd never get there. the car would feel so lazy. first gear would get you to about 80km/h, about 130km in 2nd gear.....

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
