im building a custom car with a r33 GTR powertrain and a full built rb26 check out my other 2 threads to see what im building and spec. My question is how should i go about building a very strong drive line. Im planning on a exedy twin clutch, all axles and drive shaft are custom built buy driveshaft.com and can handle more power then ill ever have. the rear diff is a stock r32 gtr lsd ill have the LSD rebuilt. the front diff is stock and ill be puting in a LSD. Now the center diff how strong is it ? is there a up grade kit or something that im not aware of? and the transmission i heard that 3rd gear is weak so is there a trany upgrade kit to fix this or do i just have to bit the bullet and buy a race trans like OS Giken? I do have a great transmission builder so a up grade would be no problem. Ill just be smooth on the powertrain till its fully upgraded but i want to be able to run it hard on the track with slick mainly race track but some drag racing. any help or advice with this would be great and if there are some treads i have not read please sent me links Thanks

Am I missing something?

GTR's don't run a centre diff unless you're building a special transfer case using parts from some constant 4WD?

That's the thing... They don't, as you know. :D

Always helps to know the basic mechanics of the car you are building before you go asking for quotes.. I'm sure any workshop would be happy to charge for a 'centre diff' and the send you some metal in a box.

Try this, google the difference between a centre diff and a transfer case. These guys know the car mate, it's clear your mechanical knowledge is a little way behind theirs. As for "bomb proofing" a gtr powertrain, put at least 40k aside. That's if you want to really do it properly. Lonefield billet cv's, billet driveshafts, carbon props hafts, hollinger sequential gearbox, quaife diffs front and rear, gts4 crown wheel and pinions, modified sump and front diff housing. Then you need to look at clutches, it gets out of control as while you make one thing stronger it creates another weak link in the chain.

There is GENUINELY bomb proofing as you say, then there is sensible strengthening of components

if $$$ is not a problem sure knock yourself out but if $$$ is not infinite, then maybe u should plan on reasonable upgrades. Why pay for a part that can take 2000hp when u will only ever have 1000hp unless of course the price is the same then by all means.

u can make a car fast and reliable without spending exorbitant amounts of $$... :)

Pretty big difference between a transfer case and a diff!

To do it on the cheap, properly, you're still looking at least 12k in diffs, clutch, transfer case, gearbox.

That's not taking into account axles, driveshaft or anything else.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
