As topic states, i am interested in knowing what my rear diff actually is? i have tried to search this site and have found nothing but confliciting statements. im so sick of single spinners. Is the factory rear diff in this car a viscous (like the gtst) or like the gtr a mechanical diff.

My car is a 1993 manual turbo r32 gts4.

thanks

The R32 GTS4 runs the same 2 way mechanical as the GTR does. Only difference is its ratio. 4.375:1 vs the GTR's 4.11:1.

4.375:1 FTW.

I run a tightened up gtr/gts4 center with my 4.363:1 GTST diff ratio. Never single legs it and is perfect with regards to how much throttle is required for it to start locking.

Drive around in tight car parks all day without it chirping/banging and carrying on; unless you give it harder than normal acceleration.

Mines on the blink so unless i can get it repaired i'll be looking for a new one too.

Boss Automotive in Lonsdale. Find out what its worth to rebuild.

Fingers crossed some one comes through with the nismo clutch pack in the other diff thread. Apparently ~$300. + $300 or so in labour. New diff for 600 with some tough nismo clutch packs. :worship:

More than half the price of buying a new harsh aftermarket + fitting. Blows its cost out to almost $1500

Appreciate the info!

I'll deff be confirming that its the diff but either way with the extra 100+rwkw going through it soon i think it would be benefitial for a refresh!

And which other diff thread are you talking about?

Thanks!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • 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!
    • 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.
