4.363:1 front differential value

[JarrettL]

Are GTR guys ever looking for 4.363:1 front differentials? I have an ENR34 and I'm going to be selling the engine as soon as I rebuild it with a fresh DET NEO head, but I imagine a prospective buyer won't have a chassis application that can utilize the AWD setup. So I'm sure I'll be holding on to a 4.363 front diff. Is there a market for these, or are they generally viewed as being too short for typical GTR power levels?

Yeah, some GTR drag guys want the gears. Only the gears. They have no use for the rest of it.

I sold a 4.375 front diff just a few months ago for $250, there's definitely a market, but probably pretty small.

It's the same oil pan/diff that comes on a GTR, so unless they already have an aftermarket LSD, I can't see why they'd want to tear it apart and have to re-shim the bearings.

 

 

Noted on the value @30ed32. Seems like it's not worth much, but enough to not just toss in the bin. Thanks.

Where are you Jarret? Location on profile would help me decide whether to lurk around your bin

Because they will want it to be an LSD. Either plate or helical. An open diff is not welcome in that space.

No engine should go back in without an aftermarket centre. One of the best mods you can do to these things.

I went 4.36 from 4.11 front and rear with nismo centres and it really waked the car up , diff gears wasn’t as cheap as mentioned ($800 7-8 years ago)

Yeah all gears are becoming expensive. I wouldn't let a set of crown wheel and pinion go for less than $1k now.

I'm in Texas in the US. I'll be getting rid of most of the drivetrain on this car aside from front axles and the rear tail shaft.

OK, not dropping by, thanks.

I guess you'll be able to sell all that in country pretty easily
