R32 Gtr Nismo Gt Pro Into S13/varied Housing Sizes?

Hi Everyone,

After looking around for quite a while for a bulletproof diff and cv combo for my silvia. I ended up purchasing 32gtr hubs and cvs, and searching for matching diff. Wanting to keep my ratio, i stumbled across a nismo gt pro 2way to suit 32 gtr, just the centre, and stub axles with bearings. I did some looking around and figured i can swap my crown wheel on, and chuck it in my housing.

Today i made good progress but am stuck at getting this center into my diff housing. It seems very tight and not in completely yet, with zero shims or spacers. Does anyone know if i have missed something in my thought process, or do i just need to keep shoving it in? My housing was originally a viscous lsd, r200.

Appreciate any advice! I am not a diff expert so may have missed something simple too....

The worst time I have ever had playing with cars in the last 6 years is f**king around with Nissan R200's.

Everything is close enough that it looks like it should work, but then it doesn't. If I was you I would find a 32 GTR diff, take the centre out of it and put your 2 way centre in it. Then just sell your housing and standard GTR centre.

Dicking around with Nissan diffs sucks.

Did you centre come with half shafts? One example of how shitty R200's are; R32 GTR came with 3 different centres. 29,30 and 31 spline. So not only do you need the correct housing and centre, then you have to find correct spline half shafts.

Yeah, it came with matching half shafts and bearings.

Completely agree re looking close enough but then just won't quite fit! Costs a lot of time messing around. I think ill take it to a shop today for a second opinion, but ultimately as you said buy another diff and see if it fits in there, and mod the front flange to suit my tailshaft. I considered trying to machine my housing out a bit but think it's a waste of time and money and still may not work

Yep modding your housing is a waste of time and money. At least you can sell it later if you just buy a GTR one.

You are in newy yeah? I have another R200 V-LSD housing you could try if you reallllly wanted to. You are welcome to come grab it and try. If not have a chat to Newcastle gearbox and diff. Have found them helpful in the past.

Thanks for the offer man really appreciate it. I am in Newcastle yeah, thought you were interstate for some reason. I think I am just going to buy a gtr diff and swap it all across. Hopefully can sell one of the centres again after its all working. The car is now stuck on someone else's hoist so I'll need to sort it relatively quickly.

I dropped it all to a mate who just took over a workshop so hopefully he can check the ratio and i can source something close. That was the other motivation behind keeping my diff - didn't want to change ratio if i didn't have to.

East Coast JDM are great - they looked through all their rear subframes for me when i wanted to swap from non-hicas to a hicas subframe (with lockbar).

Hey i'm in Newy too. I have a dodgy looking silver GT-FOUR r34 sedan, with a turbo stag motor.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
