That kind of depends on what you mean by "gearset". If you mean the CW&P, then there is a pretty bloody good chance that they will be mountable on both centres. I say this because the centres are the same - the same helical centre.

Same, but with one difference. That is that the splines for the axles are different. The GTR are of course the big strong 6 bolt ones, and the S15 are the smallest weakest 3x2 bolt ones.

So, for the sake of argument, there's no point in considering the other alternative diffs available in the 2 cars (the viscous centre in the S15 and the active diff in the R34) as they are both shit. Ignoring those 2 diffs, there's no point in swapping anything other than the CW&P. Given the slight change in gearing available from the GTR gears into the S15, I'm not sure I could be bothered with all the work to achieve it.

Next question why?

Also the S15 runs a perfectly good helical / torsen centre.

Unless you're making stupid power or a really into circuit racing or drifting then swapping "may" be feasible however given the plethora of diff centres made specially for the R34 GTt and S15 you would be pretty mad to just use a R34 GTR centre provided it even fits.

Don't see an issue with the S15 diff with that power... but if you want to make it stronger, swap over to a R32 or R33 Skyline diff as it runs 5x1 bolts not 3x2 smaller bolts.

A car I recently worked on and re-tuned shits out 320kW at the rear and gets tracked every month or 2nd month and still is completely fine.

What about changing diff ratio to 4.11 is there a crown and pinion that is interchangeable?

In general, all the Skyline and S chassis CW&P sets are interchangable. There are 2 sizes of bolts that can make life more interesting.

Question though.....your initial question was about putting an even taller diff into the S15 diff (from 3.7 or whatever they are down to 3.5 or whatever the R34 GTR diff is) and now you're asking about going shorter. I'm just checking to make sure you aren't confused about what you want to achieve.

  • 4 weeks later...

Bit of a late reply but I swapped my s15 diff out for a r33 gts-t / gtr centre.

I bought a r33 gts-t diff and r33 gtr diff. Both were 4.11:1 ratio IIRC. I bought driveshafts from an r33 gtr too.

I dropped it off to a diff specialist and asked them to pull the centre out of the gtr and put it in the gts-t housing.

A few days later I picked it up. It all bolted straight back in the s15 subframe and the gtr driveshafts bolted up without any problems. Standard tailshaft went back in and I was on my way again. I was also able to retain ABS as the gts-t had the single wire speed sensor / abs sensor (whichever one it is).

If you pull the gtr centre and install to the gtst housing, that means you are using the gtst driveshaft?

As far as i know, the gtr driveshaft will not fit S-chassis as the spline counts are different on the hub, gtst driveshaft will fit s-chassis though

No, if you use the GTR centre, you HAVE to use the GTR stub axles. The housing doesn't make any difference in the decision.

But the other aspects of your post are true. S and R chassis 5 and 3x2 bolt stubs are basically interchangeable (for the same types of diff.....let's not bring in the confusion of helicals and stuff).

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
