Hey all

looking at diffs for my r33 gtst series 2 track car.

The car is mainly for 200 meter runs. But also mucking around at drift stuff.

So im after grip and heavy acceleration!

Whats the ratio of the standard diff?

What would you recommend 1.5, 2way etc?

And what ratios for flat out acceleration?

Plus strength

cheers

Yes keep the housing.

If you get a Cusco one you can adjust it all the way from 2 way to 1 way according to your preference but most people seem to go for Nismo. Or you can get a 2nd hand GTR diff but then you have to make changes to suit the 6 x 1 bolt pattern.

Hey guys had a 2-way in my 32 and kinda got over the clunks/jerks and now looking to put the power to both wheels in the 33..

I'm unsure what to do with a stock auto diff.. do I still have 1, 1.5 way options in the ratios the auto uses?

Also it will have a shift kitted box with 250+, so I'm guessing a shimmed diff wont like that power for long. Trying to maintain good drive aswell as being able to have both wheels putting power down.

1/4 mile and cruising only.

sounds like your ideal diff would be helical. But that's another kettle of fish finding one. They did come in late model R34 manual turbos but rare as f**king hens teeth and wreckers wouldn't know one if it hit them in the head.

/\ ive found a S15 helical 4.08, which is a swap over using s15 6-bolt shafts also..?

I did that to my R32. Put it into R32 housing with R33/4 4.11 gears and S14 half shafts and driveshafts. It's a real bitsa, but it works. The only downside will be if I start finding the strength limits of the 3x2 bolt CVs.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
