WHAT diff's suit cefiro?

[huddy]

as it says what sort of diffs fit?

cefiro with ABS? i'm guessing s13 ones fit, but also been told that r33 gts ones fit and s15 maybe? etc?

would be good once its sorted to put this up in cefiroz.com

thanks

rip ABS out!!!!!

[RiverSide]

Remove the ABS for starters.

You will find that it will depend on the type of diff your car came with from the factory makes a difference.

If you are running the R200 already, then you can use diffs from SR20det S13/R32 skyline/R33/34 skyline (need to change the backing plate).

Or of course cefiro or laurel diff.

[pitchd]

what about s14/s14 nico?

[huddy]

i'll try find out if i've got a r200 cheers.

[replicate]

I think all turbos came with R200. Only the RB20e came with an open R180. But i stand to be corrected.

[RiverSide]

I THINK S14/S14a should fit....but just like the R33/34 diffs you will need to change the rear cover. Best to double check on that though......as i have seen but not installed an S14 diff into cefiro/laurel

[huddy]

i took pictures of it if that'll help? coz i'm still unsure?

[meggala]

swapped the diff from my rb20e cef with a silvia diff r200 no problems

[huddy]

ok i've found that i've got 5bolts to the driveshafts, so i'm assuming this is not r200, also it has ABS, so i've been told if i want to fit a r200 housing (with 5bolt to driveshafts) i'm going to need to swap the end of the tailshaft aswell???

[SideWaysChef]

Does anyone know how to identify a R200

I cant find anything in repair manuals, im guessing i have a R200 in my cefiro at present.

I need to swap my diff to register it as the cops in WA aint exactly mech. LSD friendly

I have checked out s13 diff(unsure if its turbo or non turbo as is out of car) but the drive shaft has different bolt up points

[jaik]

LOL as if the police would know if you have a mechanical diff or not. My Cefiro was registered and engineer approved with a mechanical diff in it. Say "LSD" to a copper over here and they'll just say "open your glovebox, this is a random drug inspection".

Peace out.

^^^ haha

... MEGGALA - was it a 5bolt? and did it have ABS?

i guess i will have to try bolt up another one soon... if i can find one

[replicate]

I've changed mine from R180 to R200. My R180 was 6 bolt, the R200 5. But this is not always the case!! My mates 180SX has an R200 with 6 bolt half shafts.

Best way to identify would be to measure the diff from half shaft to half shaft. The R200 is wider. Hence why you need the different axels, its not just the bolt pattern. R200 axels are thicker and longer than R180.

You don't need to do anything to the end of the tail shaft, mine bolted straight on.

I still have my R180 sitting in the gararge. Too bad its absolutely worthless. I can measure it for you if you like.

ok thanks, i'm thinking the best thing for me to do is buy a centre and housing... most likely r200 and simply see if it fits... if it doesnt, change the half shafts...

thanks.
