A search didn't give me what i wanted to know so i'll ask :P.

I'm looking for a decent diff for my S13, mechanical 1.5 or 2 way is preferred of course. Now i've come accross an R32 GTR diff, axles and rear hubs. This would seem perfect since i want to go 5 stud at the rear anyways so i want some info on the parts.

Is the R32 GTR diff a clutch pack type and how many 'ways' is it?

Are the half shafts unique to an R32 GTR (ie if i snap one will i have to replace with a GTR part because of unique spline count etc)?

Will it bolt up to a Silvia after swapping the rear covers (looks like it will)?

What is the diff ratio?

Im not an expert, so someone will correct me. I beleive they are a hlsd. There is no "way" in which they operate, but its similar to a 1 way. There are no clutches in it, only gears.

Ususally you do need the half shaft it came with, dont worry as they are strong (ever heard of a gtr snapping one?)

If you put the centre in your housing, with the halfshafts, and axles, you can retain the ratio you have now...(which is the other option i was looking at for my car -s13 ratio with gtr running gear)

i think there were a few different diffs that came standard / options with r32 gtr's

I remember reading some people had mechanical lsd's stock, and some were viscous.

What is the price of that diff you've found? kaaz 1.5 or 2ways can be had for around $1,100 or a second hand one for $600 or so.

contact, www.garage-13.com I know alex has a couple of second hand mechanical diffs lying around for a very good price

They also specialise in 5-stud conversions for s13's, so they can let you know what you'll need.

Ah k, a helical or viscous isn't of much interest to me, i'll see if i can get a photo of the centre, it'll be easy to tell then.

Did they ever come with a clutch pack centre? Being a hipo car i thought they might have gotten a clutch pack in em.

- All r32 GTR LSD's are clutch pack to my knowledge. It's possible there may have been other centres used, but FAST indicates they were all clutch type. Not sure about the 'way' thing, my interpretation of the design of the stock centre is it's 2-way.

- I believe the bolt spacing might make them 'unique' but I've found halfshafts are interchangable between R200's (believe it or not S15 halfshafts fit 260Z R200...and vice versa). The exception is viscous LSD's which have a unique design.

- rear cover should swap over no problem, but also consider whether the tailshaft attachment is the same (should change over anyay).

- 4.1

Cool, the number of 'ways' of the diff is pretty easy to tell by eye (from the angle of hte 'ramps' that actuate the clutches), i'll work on getting a photo of the guts of the thing. Since it comes with Shafts and hubs i guess thats not really a problem and the tailshaft flange is most likely the same but can be swapped with my current viscous diff if need be.

Thanks :P

no GTRs come with a viscous diff, they are all a mechanical LSD. 2 way.

Thats ok, my last drifter had a stock long nose clutch pack LSD that was loose to, i found it quite fine to drift with since i was applying enough torque to lock it up nicely :P.

EDIT: i bought it now, we'll see how it goes :P.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
