Not necessarily doubting you Mark but auto diffs are usually longer. In the R34 the auto is 4.089 and the manual is 4.111. I know that's close enough to be almost the same but you see whatI mean?

I thought the R33 auto diffs were 3.9xx but I've got nothing to back myself up there. :cheers:

From what I understand the auto R33 diff is a 4.3 and the r33 manual diff a 4.1.

The R32 Turbo's run the same diff ratio for both the auto and manual being a 4.3.

Abobob, The reason for the r34 ratio being different may be due to the gearbox ratio's. The R32/R33 auto's run quite a long first gear. If they were to run a 4.11 ratio behind the auto they would be looking at almost 70km/h out of first.

In older cars when you had top gears with 1 to 1 in both manual and autos, autos always had lower ratio diffs ( lower number but actualy higher diff, longer legs). The reason for that, the torque converter in the auto slips so it makes easier to take off and because it slips lower high speed .

Most late model cars don't use a straight gear anymore and most autos have a very high top gear ( around .7-.8 to one, even lower) . Thats the reason you don't need a higher diff in autos now so it wouldn't surprise me if the auto was the same as a manual. These days most cars have a lock up converter in top gear ( even top 2 some of them with 5 or more ratios) .I have no idea what the skyline ratios are though.

On that note I have a rear diff ratio of 4.375 thats in good nick if any one wants it? >_<

I bought a GTR diff that already had the swap done to it. Its in excellent condition but I'm keeping the centre and half shafts. I'm selling just the diff gears (pinion and crown) or the pumpkin if the individual wishes not to stuff around refitting the pinion to their pumpkin.

I was hoping for a set of 4.11's to go behind the rb30. Bugger. :)

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
