Hay all,

Thinking of fitting an R33GTR rear diff to my S14!

I know it will work but just how easily is another question?

I will be fitting complete GTR hubs/uprights, drive shafts and diff and of course custom tail shaft,

Just not sure if diff mounting points and drive shaft lengths are all same same??

If anyone has done this before any tips would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Luke.

Would you be better off just getting the gtr rear cradle too and bolt the whole lot up?

I know the r200 diffs over the model types and years had slightly different bolt lengths/positions?

You know nothing is :P

But considering you spend all day under them give it a measure up.

They can be put into HR31's with some custom work.

If you are doing custom anyway, suppose it might not make much of a difference and easier overall.

NS.com have any info? Surely someone that has done it.

Mate, i have an s14 with r32 GTR diff, drive shafts, hubs, brakes, tailshaft etc.. which i fitted/dumbied up myself.

everything just basically goes straight into the S14 cradel. you will need to weld on fork ends fot the rear suspension/coilovers.

also some arms will need to modified but nothing to crazy.

to be honest i couldnt believe it went in so easy.

No need to alter coilovers when you can just go ahead and bolt in a silvia knuckle... I have R34 cradle in my s13 i simply swapped the alloy R34 knuckles with some s13 ones (kept all the r34 hub assembly) and switched the camber arms with s13 ones. everything else is R34.

The R34/R33 GTR alloy knuckles use a much larger taper on the LCA Ball joint but that is just a slip on washer which you just pull off and slip on a normal silvia knuckle. No welding required anywhere.

R33 gear will bolt straight in to s14 rear cradle, infact s14 and R33 rear cradle are idenitcal overall so not much point in switching it. Only other thing id rather do is use the r33 hub assembly so u have the best handbrake setup (drum).

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
