I need some help with re-building the R32 GTR rear diff with the NISMO 3843S-RS521 disk kit. Of course, all of the instructions are in Japanese. Contacted NISMO here in the States and they are of no help. I never actually tested the break-away torque of the old setup, I just bought this diff used so I thought, hey, why not.

Tore apart the diff and the basket components and installed the disks how it appeared in the diagram. Put everything back together, except no fluid, rigged up a break-away tester, and found it to be absolutely zero ft/lbs break-away.

So, now I am thinking about how we assembled the disks and the one thing that I may have omitted that I shouldn't have. In the OEM form, each clutch disk stack is comprised of 6 disks and one large shim that is on the outside of the stack. We removed all 6 disks and the one large shim that is pictured below, installed the new small shim and all 6 new disks. Did the same for the other side, and put it all back together. Obviously, now there is no break-away torque. Does this large shim need to go back in the casing on both sides?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks......

I would say try it with them in and see what you get. If you can put it all back together 'relatively' easily with the two old shims then it should be right. There is a bit of preload on those.

I can't remember the exact breakaway torque but the number 60ft/lbs keeps springing to mind. I'll see if I can find it in my folders

Yeah, that is what we were thinking too. It isn't hard to take it all apart again, just wanted to make sure that before we do, we somewhat have more of an idea lol.

Ok, so we threw the factory shims/spacers in with the whole stack. with everything put together, we are getting about 110 ft/lbs break-away. Obviously this will change/decrease with some amount of driving. But nonetheless, now we are getting some break-away. Does this sound OK?

Yep. That sounds ok. Let us know how tight that is to begin with please.

You'll need to go out and do figure 8's in a culdesac somewhere to bed in the clutch plates. Usually 15minutes or so is enough.

There was also a 1.85mm friction disk that was included with the kit, I guess for differences in stack height. We left that one out and just threw all the 1.75mm friction disks in. I would assume that the larger disk would increase the break-away torque, which may result in a clunkier diff in parking lots and such. After I get the car running, I'll let everyone know it was successful or a failure lol......

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access

      OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
