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 :

into this :

(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.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      So left off with high hopes of having a gearbox in pretty quickly........ Got the adapter plate that week and had to chase a few threads and work out how/where everything goes as no instructions. Got the adapter fitted, test fitted gearbox and found had to cut and shave a few things. Tunnel required some hits with a decent hammer to give some clearance on passenger side but it fits with no problems,  could fit a 8hp70 with a little more work. For a cross member I wasn't going to spend $1100 on so shiny machined piece. Went through a few designs and remembered I had a gktech s chassis to cd00# cross member. Fitted that and found its close enough with a few extra bits welded so have gone that way and still a work in progress.  After this got into modifying the intercooler with some bends and clamps. I was procrastinating on this as was not keen to cut up and weld it myself but happy with the outcome.  Onto the radiator shroud and oil cooler mount. This thing took way longer than I thought it would but having to add an extra oil cooler for the trans and wanting everything within the chassis rails its good enough for now. It mounts to the chassis and gives plenty of room for lines and pipes. All the coolers are rubber mounted and sealed the shroud on the top and sides, will use some tape to seal the bottom gap of about 10mm. 20250508_111500.mp4   Next job was to build the new diff and after a delay with a friend got built this week. I ended up putting it all together with supervision and was good to learn how to set one up correctly. I ended up going a 3.69 ratio, nismo 1.5 way gt pro with gtr Axel's. Stripped it all down, gave all the parts a good clean, pressed on new bearings and set backlash. Was good working in a clean assembly room with all the gear. Once got home wire wheeled the case and hit it with some rollbar/chassis black paint. Got a few more bits done but will leave them for the next update.

      That could be drilled, ground and welded. Would stop it progressing and leaking. But that block shouldn't be pushed very hard, as what you see there is a massive warning sign. But that fix also isn't going to happen properly with the engine in the car, and assembled. So you're looking at anew block if you're doing all that work anyway.

      It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.

      Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.

      What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?
