Has anyone done a 4.11 final drive on their gtr34? What needs to be done for the swap?

The car is gtr34 vspec with A-LSD, and I have bought R32's 4.11 front and rear crown and pinion, anything else needs to be installed for the job?

driveshaft, axle, transfer case, etc??

thanks in advance for help.

Al long as you can get through the gears quickly

Even with stock box stock ratios on the R34 with 300+kw first is nearly useless and still need to grab 5th down the quater, 2nd gear with 3.55s is just that little bit to tall but with enough revs and enough hating of clutch can be luanched in 2nd

Personally I would spend the money on changing the diff gears on getting more power

ask piggaz he went from a-lsd to mechanical in his r33, I know the diff and half shafts needed to be changed but not sure what else had to be done

But if the plan is to keep the a-lsd in place, just replace the crown wheel and pinions and enjoy your new shorter ratios

The A-LSD to a real diff isn't a set in stone rule Apparantly. Terry from Award said its a car by car thing. Mine I had to replace the shafts but that doesn't mean the very next car off the production line needs to. That's what he said anyway.

Doesn't really help :/.

I'm pretty certain, given how rare non-Vspec R34 diffs are, you can use an R33 non-Vspec but there's more involved

not much more involved just changing the bolt size and length for the drive shafts. I'm using gtr33 non v spec diff but with 4.3 ratio... Edited by QUP29

wouldnt it be easier if u wanted to keep a-lsd at 4.11 ratio to swap with vspec 33?

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
