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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
