As i suspected... the night i blew my turbo... i did my diff as well.

Didnt get to test it out till tonight (but at least the car goes well in general)

So, for an R31... with the R200 (think its a long nose)

What goes into it easily, and is tougher than what i had.

As i've never heard of an R31 Coupe blowing it's diff... but this one has.

And now im goin to have a fair whack more power too so i dont wanna be frying them every 6 months.

Would a 1.5 way LSD (whatever they are called) for an R32/R33 fit into the R31 diff?

Dont wanna go buying something and not have it fit!

Well I'd speak to some diff specialists, they might be able to build you whatever you want in your old casing and just give you new crown and pinion gears. Otherwise I guess you're going to have to swap the whole diff over for something else.

Just gotta weigh up the costs which is the cheapest.

The whole diff replaced? Or just the input shaft...

Either way... talking to 'experts' i've found to be a pain in the arse.

No-one knows when it comes to an R31.

That's a tried and proven thing.

As i can see it now... i'm gonna have to spend 'X' amount to have someone look at it, and then tell me they dont even know. Put it back together... and then leave me none the wiser and $400 in the red

Hmm.. the R31 is R200.

And it is IRS, albeit a tad different to an R33 IRS.. but IRS all the same.

Not Live like the Aust Delivered models.

I dunno about fitment though.

Do you know pete?

You've done a bit of playing around im sure

yea what v8skyline man said

the 31 is r200

the 33 dont know

the input pinion is know to give up onthe old 31 diffs... mine is a bit shagged

i replaced the centre of my diff with a 2 way cusco diff centre that i removed form my s13 silvia which is the same. drive shafts are the same but the r31 ones are longer i had to machine mine down to fit... which i guess would make them weaker

spose ill find out when i try and drift fourth or something stupid

im sure you could replace the imput if thats the problem becasue a whole new r31 housing ect cost 600 used

if its just the centre youc an get it tightened for 350 and or replaced for about 500 with a used centre( locker)

Thanks pete!

What about getting another pinion made up? Or even a stonger one?

Or is that just not cost effective... as Import 31 diffs are hard enough to come by as it is... and that means they are going to cost more and more.

Also, i was talking to chris the other day...

I need an Import Diff Bush, do you know what it is, what it looks like???

Chris said i could have one out of the car he is wreckin... but he has no idea what one looks like (neither do i) I cant get pics of it for a few weeks yet to send to him.

Mine is totally knackered and the diff moves around something chronic, probably had some part in the diff playing up.

But the S13 fits... so if all goes to plan i'll be getting a 2 way out of an S13 that is coming over.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I thought it was going to set me back thousands :flower:

    • Pic of Nos, turbo kit and sequential not loading. 404 not found
    • im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.
    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
