Anteater - Once you go round a corner and you have jumped on it earlier than you ever have and you have somehow popped out the other side without putting it into a pole, you'll laugh then kick yourself for not doing it years ago.... Let alone the rear :D

Hey Nesh, to have a chat with Terry at Award about rebuilding your standard diff tighter, that's the easiest and most likely cheapest way for pretty much the same result I don't know about the rear d

Sweet I'm keen. I'm hoping to go out on track to see how this silly car handles with standard diff then go back with quaife to really feel the diff (pun intended).........if I don't wrap the car around a pole first :D

Heya guys,

Anyone looked into jamming an R34 GTR helical centre into a 32GTR housing?

I'll be throwing some 4.4s in soon and wondering if I should move from the Nismo 2way (that has me a little unsettled into corners) to a helical.

Only problem with helical is lifting a wheel and having no drive, but if I upgrade I might just have to stop using inside ripple strips to powerslide the car into line ;)

Mark :)

Palmside have it stitched here in Australia. It's absurd Quaife don't have an official distributor in Australia - shipping from the South Island is stupid. Quaife have never responded to any of my requests to open up a trade account for the record. I'd shop in the States. I've never understood why Quaife are cheaper in the US than the UK. Bigger market blah blah but seriously it still makes no sense.

Lol I know that feeling having performance parts under the desk.

Yeah, that is BS re: price rise.

I really don't want to fork out almost $2K just for a diff when they are being sold for almost half that price in the states.

Just waiting upon some more diff bushes and new diff bearings and then will get it installed.

Couldn't you just buy this through an importer and save a few hundred bucks?

Is the R33 diffs the same as the R32?

I could but I will see what else is available in Oz first.

I already have the rear diff just need the front.

Am in no rush to get it done though.

I believe that R33 GTR diffs are the same ratio as R32 GTR

Oh, so paying $160 to get a diff shipped from USA to Aus isn't an arm and leg?

Add another $20-$30 from UK to that (based on SVS and not paying VAT)

Not really... I got quoted the same to get a bearing the size of a 50c piece shipped from the USA to Aus.

That aside, Powertune seems ok price wise, $1900 Kiwi definitely a rip off.

Hi guys. Should have some feedback on this soon. I've run a Quaife in the front for a couple of years and was waiting for a rear to become available.

Bought the rear early this year and it will be replacing a Nismo GT Pro - so will be interesting comparison.

It's in the car and fitted - but am also doing E85 conversion so will be another 3-4weeks before I drive it I think.

They require the later halfshafts that are. 31 spline and measure 32mm diameter.

They should be more 'aggressive' than the standard helical diffs in Nissans but of course without the low speed clunking and binding of a clutch type diff.

Looking forward to trying it

      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.
