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.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
