R32 Gtr front diff

[bnr3247]

Hello! I need to change front differential in my R32 gtr, do i have to take the engine out or is it easier to just drop down the front end?


And is there anything else i should know/think about?

I bought an engine, then my gearbox broke. I checked the front diff ratio and it was 4.5 while rear diff was 4.1 (R32). And ofc I forgot to change it before a the new engine came into place..

Any idea what the front differential might be?


Thanks

I don't know of any Nissan with that low a front diff ratio. The R34 GTR front (and rear) is 3.545. R32 and R33 GTRs are 4.1

The GTS4 is 4.375

I believe changing the front diff is best done engine out but someone may know better.

No need to remove engine at all for front diff change. By all means it's easier to setup backlash on crown wheel and pinion while engine is out and / or sump off.

I know, thats the wierd part..

Forgot to tell you guys that there is a Getrag 233 on the car! (r34 gtr). Maybe that has something to do with ratio on front diff? Because i checked the ratio by spinning the prop shaft (correct name?) the front one.


Whats the price on a r32 front diff without sump? Anyone ships to sweden?

Okey, thanks. Ill probably try to change diff without getting the engine out at first. Or just drive rwd.

I have a full 4.111 R32 / R33 GTR front diff centre with crown wheel and pinion. I'll PM you.
