I bought an r32 gtr diff , shafts and hubs of a friend who originally pulled em out of a r32 gtr wreck

my car is early 89 gtr and has a finned cover, this one doesnt have finns has anyone seen a 32gtr rear diff with no fins?? oh yeah its a white one so im thinking a later model 32

also the non finned cover is 31 spline. finned is 30 spline

thanx T04GTR for the info

so are the 31 splines on the pinion or the side gears?, the diff has the input flange and output shafts still in it will I need to change any thing to fit the late model diff.

keith

finned cover is vspec diff

man i get tired of people misquoting info on 32 GTR diffs! I must hear it about once a month. as my man dave has pointed out ALL pre-model update BNR32 GTRs have a finned diff cover. later models have the plain cover.

swap to the finned cover. it holds more oil.

thanx again

this is all good news Ive scored a late model diff and i can put the best bits on it [finned cover]

and sell the leftover drive shafts and stuff, my lsd centre will be okay for some one too if they have a quiet set of gears.

im sure paulr33 was thinking of r33[he has got a huge thread on r33 vspec active lsds]

i did a fair bit of searching on diffs in the drivetrain thread but didnt come up with the answer but i did find heaps of misquoted info that i had to sift through, but hey in any forum you have to dig to find gold

werd :)

ps.. your driveshaft flanges that you are gonna chuck are gold.

ps. any aftermarket mechanicl lsd needs these flanges for them. pitty there 6 bolt lol.

r34gtt helical uses them to i think.

hey to4

are you saying all aftermarket centres use 30 spline side flanges?

are they hard to get because they break a lot or is it because ppl do gtr upgrades?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
