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. :)

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
