Hi Lads,

Im after some advice. A mate of mine has an r34 GTR with 4.11 front diff gears. after some research it appears an r33 GTR diff looks very similar to and r34 housing/drive shaft flanges/ABS etc and are 4.11.

Is it possible to grab an r33 GTR rear diff assembly and bolt it in to the 34?

R33 has different rear diff ratio to a 34. Because one has a 5 speed gb and the other a 6

A mate of mine has an r34 GTR with 4.11 front diff gears.

Kafish? :)

I am assuming his mates 34R is not running and they have a 4:1 diff in the front and they are wondering if they can fit a 4:1 diff from a 33 to their 34. If the car is runing with different front and rear diff ratio, we would have seen an epic fail video :)

I know the diffs are interchangeable because I am about to do this conversion. If all goes well, I should get it done this weekend.

The gearbox it self has got nothing to do with the diff. From what people say, the first gear in Getrag will be useless after a 4:1 convo.

Hey Bob - how is it going?

R34 already has 4.1 front - just looking for a rear to match it.

This bloke :yes:

Its all done and was pretty much a bolt in deal. Just swapped over the rear cover to the original r34 one. As this 34 is not a Vspec we didnt have to deal with active LSD's.

to those concerned about short ratios with the 6 spd dont be. Around town the thing is spot on. Sure it might struggle down the main straight at EC but everywhere else its great.

For future referenc, a R32 diff can also be used if you are ready to stuff around.

- the R32 ABS rings are differnt. 46 teeth on both 32 & 34 but the gaps are wider on 34. So the rings have to be swapped.

-R32 short axles do not fit 34 centre - different spline pattern. Swap the axles around. Don't know if aftermarket centers resolve this issue.

Gearing not as bad first thought.

Speedo is understandably read incorrect values for speed.

Speedo is out as you say, understandably. I actually think the 1st gear is a little long with the original 3.54.

The r33 diff housing did have some additional mount points on the casting that we thought might be a problem but upon stuffing it in it didnt touch anywhere and had a minimum of 10mm clearance to the body.

will update once more kms are put on by the owner.

PS. the job itself is piss easy for a weekend warrior mechanical type.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
