R32 GTR in GTST

[OO Dan OO]

Will a GTR diff fit into a GTST?

will it bolt in directly. Can I swap my current GTST stubs and shafts onto the GTR Diff?

sorry newbie when it comes to the diff

No.

The rear hat is different, so you have to swap that. At least that is doable.

The splines are not the same. Stubs from one will not go in the other.

I think Throtl on YouTube is doing a GTR swap on a 34 GT. It’s more or less the same thing you want to do but with an older chassis.

 

from memory there are some cheat parts you can use like an S14 rear subframe to adapt GTR bits.

S14 rear subframe is just an R33/4 subframe without HICAS.

All of the above differ from R32 in a number of ways, but most importantly the lower control arms must stay with the subframe. You can't use R32 arms on S14-ish subframe.

it is actually good and desirable to use an R33/4 or S14 rear in an R32, because it is the easy way to get rid of the stupid amount of anti-squat that Nissan put in the R32's geometry. It is this difference that is the reason why you can't mix and match arms.

The diff mounts are different and you have to use offset chassis bushes to fit the subframe to the car also.
