have a z31 200zr have replaced the rb20det red top to r32 engine black top rb20det

gearbox choices

what fits in, can a r32 gearbox bolt up, are there any probs or is it only r31 and z31 manual i have a choice of?

diffs

being irs, the diff looking pretty much interchangable with anything from silvias to 32 33 ceffy ect basic nissan diffs. amyome know which ones are pretty much bolt in

I think you'll find the diff is the r200 long nose like the z31 300zx or jap r31's or some s12's and some r30's not the short nose silvia/skyline style diff. I have seen some of these 200z's with 4.4:1 lsd's which is the same as the jap r31. Pretty sure the s12 has the 3.9 lsd and the oz 300z seems to have a 3.54 open. Most of the cv shafts are interchangable thru these models except the 3.54 version need the input stubs swaped to the other side to use in a 4.4 diff. All of these lsd's are pretty weak as they have only one inner lug friction per side taking all the load. If you take the shims from either side and add 2 more inner lug friction disks to each side then they become 3 times stronger and also lock up much harder. This is basically what nismo use.

All 200ZR's have the R200 long nose LSD, as far as I know, and mine is a 4.3:1 which is what the HR31 skyline rb20det is also.

Gearboxes all look the same but vary slightly, series 1 have single syncros, same as VL and local R31. Series 2 (californian shape) have double syncros, basically same as an R32. Visually the R32 / 200ZR boxes look the same, same diminsions etc so there is no problems fitting an R32 box in. An upgrade would be an R33 box, would require a slight shortening of the tail shaft.

Thanks guys gives me a great place to start on

have the california 200ZR main bearing went so i have a rb20det from r32 runing from 200zr computer and old 200zr coilpacks with the igniter box sitting on top just like a redtop rb20det

gearbox believe its just the thrust bearing that is shot so going to replace that and a new clutch see how i got still orginal gearbox from 200zr

rear diff the diff is caked in oil on the right side drive shaft haven't check the diff oil level yet as its on stands believe i need a new seal there and prob a new wheel bearing as well

hopefully this coming weekend get the intake and exhaust back on found 3 gaskets including exhuast manifold that have huge holes in em

im having fun putting this car back to a good standard as the joker before didn't have a clue :starwars:

cheers blokes any more info would be great

sounds exactly like my situation when I got my late model 200zr! its also running an r32 eninge with the 200zr ecu/loom... my tip if u want more from the stock ecu (rather than changing to the r32 loom of full aftermarket) is try www.nistune.com and you'll have a fully tunable ecu, the stock ecu settings are rubbish.

frigjam

are you using type 1 or type 2 nistune board

do they both plug up??

Type 1 board, its the stock 200ZR / HR31 Skyline ECU (same ECU for both models). Type 2 boards are generally R32 type ECU's and completely different, no type 2 board will direct plug in.

As a matter of fact, we have just finished about the 5th revision board for the Redtop NICS engine, and I have been the guinea pig. All is well now and just made 170rwkw on the rollers, stock as a rock except R33 turbo and big fuel pump.

MASSIVE difference, the stock ECU has over boost protection, goes into a semi 'limp mode' when the AFM hits its max voltage reading, sending injector cut and all sorts of bizarre shit, you will never have any success with the stock ECU if you are modding the car, trust me!

Any chance you might have some more details on shimming up the long nose R200

looking at doing it at the moment but dont have part numbers to order stuff of Nissan and havent found anyone else on here with any info on doing it.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
