Ok, Im in the process of fitting my diff atm after changing a few bits internal. Because this being my first shot at it im not sure if its %100.

Whilst bolting the shafts on. i noticed the r/h shaft has about 1/2cm free play?. in/out.

i can slam it back in, but it pops back out easily.

what have i missed?.

Something to do with that circlip inside the diff?

It looked pretty simple, push in and lock. or was there more to it?.

ok after hours bending and bangin the circlip.

there isnt much i can think of. I never did an apprentice, so all of this is new learning steps for me. Now i need advice from someone who knows their shit. it still slides back off that half centermetre, with no stable lock.

anyone?

No i dont mean the actual shafts moving.

This is the inner shaft that slides through driectly into the centre gears.

once it pops out it starts to leak.

i'll attatch photo's when i get the chance to.

atm im just gonna replace circlip and seals, ansee what happens.. Still need to know if there is a way of piecing it together so it'll lack in place.

Thanks

You mean the inner shafts where the drive shaft bolts onto?.

I tried only to find out it was a different size. Now im using the oringinal shatfs that came out of it but i cant seem to get that one side back in and locked in.

attached is a picture that i stole from another thread, circled in red is the part i mean.

It doesnt seem to lock in place securely enough for it not to pop right back out whilst driving.

anyone?. Its driving me nuts. I calleup a driveshaft's specialists for info and advice.. and he just simply said he couldnt help me with skyline lsd diff's.

Step 8:

Do everything in reverse, make sure you listen to Metallica again!

**VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:**

before you screw the diff center back together after inserting shim, take the 'longer' of the 2 stub axles and insert it through the center of the diff all the way. This splines the 2 different splined parts of the diff center together so that when you go to insert the diff stubs at the end they'll actually fit (easiest way to explain it). Otherwise you'll be screamin' your head off wondering what you did wrong.

Ok Here's the complete extended version.

To start off, i was to replace the standard auto diff with an r33 manual one. for some reason whatsoever i didnt pay attention or question, i was told i wouldnt be able to do the straight swaparoo, instead i could just change the internals over and keep the housing.

I thought that reason was that the diff's were different and couldnt line up the bolts. So i did. Half way there, center's out i found it difficult to take off the tail shaft gear wheel being i had no vice grip or air/power tools.

So tried seeing if the r33 would bolt on and it did. Begining was a total waste of time.

Took off the ABS sensor gears of each inner shafts of the auto one and jammed it onto the manual one. (do r33's have there's there?)

Now back to re-assembling the r33 diff. Only thing changed is that add-on ABS sensor gears on outer side of each half shaft.

done. Now im just about to give up and take it to a mechanic's or specialist for them to get it in and hopefully not charge.

Times running out. Does anyone know?.

the right side slides in and out about 5mm.

Is that normal? or is that going to leak or pop right out under pressure cornering and shiz.

Thanks

Im sure everything is re-assembled 100percent correct, side shafts ,spacers to every single nut ect.. the clips may be the issue your rite.

One thing i realised. even with that half centremeter movment from the right shaft i think i may still get away with it so im goign to just wake it on and find out.

Or is there someone out there that can tell me thats normal?.

and i can drive at ease.

tahnks for all replies.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
