i have a r33 diff ready to go into my r32.

since i havent put it in yet, i am not 100% sure about this but this is what ive done so far

swap the backing plate off the r32 diff (4 bolt cover) onto the r33 diff. the r33 diff has a 2 bolt backing plate which wont fit your r32 subframe.

the front two diff bolt loops (near the main driveshaft) are a lot larger on the r33 diff. so you will need some bushings and longer bolts to accommodate the bushings to fit the r32 subframe.

other than that i think it should fit

they are both r200 diffs and should both have the 5x1 bolt axle pattern.

Hi guys,

sorry for revitalizing this topic.

There is someone who wants to swap his R33 2way diff with my r32 OEM diff. Will it fit plug and play? I read the posts above but I'm not 100 % sure about clip14s post. Do I have to switsh the whole diff, with back plates etc. or is there a possibility just to fit the inner part of the diff into the housing?

For example putting this :

KAAZ-Toyota-2-way-LSD-DAT3020_1312.jpg

into this :

truck-differential.jpg

(Those are just example pictures to show you guys what I mean)

I hope you can help me out.

Cheers Dom

Don't think 33gtst is 6 bolt.. GTR is 6 bolt and S13 is also 6 bolt but in a 3x2 config.

I'm also pretty sure that R33 crown wheel bolts are 12mm where R32 is 10mm. Which is why I ended up going for an S13 centre.

wont matter what size the crown wheel bolts are if you are replacing the whole diff centre

crown wheel and pinion are matched. you are not meant to put and existing center ( with a random crown gear) into a different housing because the pinion and the crown wheel wont be a matched pair. u can swap pinion drive if u like but u need a press.

running unmatched crown and pinion can cause them to eat the case hardening off each other and at the least be noisy.

the 32 subframe accepts the 4 bolt housing cover from the r32 r200 diff

the 33 r200 diff has a 2 bolt housing cover to suit the r33 subframe.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
