Yet another r31 question,

The rb30det in stock form is supposed to put out 150kw at the flywheel stock. My R31 was originally auto and non turbo. With the rb30det and a 5 speed manual, will the borg warner auto diff put up with the punishent that the rb30det and 5 speed put out?

And would anybody be able to tell me what the diff ratio for the auto and manual is ?

I guess the speedo will be affected if a diff change is done?

well i have 200odd rwkw at the rears and im running it through the stock 3.9LSD, it seems to be going ok, and i rape my car, and i think you mean rb30et? if it was auto i think they had 3,7 which sucks ass

Not RB30DET, you're talking about the RB30ET.

If you're running a stock turbo setup, it will cope with the abuse for a little while, but it will definetly not last as long as if you were to leave it standard of course. It all depends on how you treat it. If you putter around and only open it up here & there, drive it responsibly then it will probably last for a decent about of time. If you flog the arse out of it everywhere you go, drop burnouts and drive everywhere sideways then say goodbye to it VERY quicky.

Manual ratio is 3.7 and the auto is 3.9. If you change the diff ratio then yes your speedo will miss read. I'd leave the 3.9 ratio in there anyway due to the better acceleration.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
