R230 (z32 Tt) Diff In To R32

Hi ppls,

I'm looking in to diff ratio's and diff swaps for my R32 as the std VLSD open wheels and the ratio is too low (numberically high) for the RB30.

I've been looking at a 3.69:1 ratio as for the way I drive it appears the turbo will be spooling perfectly as I leave corners etc. + the added advantage of improved economy with PULP soon to hit $1.50 per litre. :D

I've spoken to a few diff rebuilders and to simply swap a pinion and ring gear they want around $300-$400 + the gears which I can pick one up for $150, then I need to drop a decent center in it, possibly a GTR mech center for $550. So its going to work out fairly expensive.. $1100 or there abouts for a decent center and ratio change.

I then came across one diff rebuilder that said why not look at dropping a early 90's Z32 TT R230 in to it. They run the ratio I am after and with a few little modifications they bolt up.

'Apparently' swap the input flange and solid mount the front rubber bushes, the early Z32 R230's run the 5bolt half shafts. It sounds too easy as I'm sure the R230 I had a quick look at looked wider than my R200.

Has any one had any experience with the R230's or has access to one that can check out the rear cover plate?

hey buddy, a friend of mine bought a z32 diif to put in his cefiro (same subframe as r32) apart from the half shafts being 6 bolt, and the input being different also, there is know way it will fit in your subframe, its just too wide, aand you cant swap backing plates with a r200 (comlpetely differnet).

The only option, which he is looking into, is getting a z32 subframe. looks like it may bolt up. As for early z32's haveing 5 bolt driveshafts, my g'f has a 1889 tt zed and its 6 bolt.

Possibly the early model non turbo diff has 5 bolt.

hope that helps

What would be the best bet for a mate of mine with an R33 and the similiar problem to you Cubes... Except his RB30det is worse as he's putting an auto into it aswell.

Whats the best bet for higher ratio R33 diffs.. Would Z32, 3.69 ratios bolt to the standard R33 VLSD centre?

r33/32 all use an r200 diff (meaning 200mm crownwheel)

As long as as the crownwheel and pinion are from a r200 diff then all ratios are interchangeable.

There are heaps of r200 ratios available 3.69, 3.9, 4.11, 4.3 and more...

AS for the 3.69, u need the cw&p from s13's as they run r200's (3.69 auto 3.9 manual)

There are long nose (up to r31, z31 &s12) & short nose (from r32, z32 & s13) R200's & you can only interchange between the right length.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
