Hey guys,

Long story short....

My car has been at my mechanics and i got him to check out my clunking diff. It appears that my gears in my diff center are completey rooted and i either need to find

a) new gears so i can get it rebuilt

OR

b) a second hand diff center i can get refurbed

Im going to try the obvious like wreckers etc, but ill only be able to get a diff center as they wont pull one apart.

Does anyone know if i can get these "gears" so i can get my diff rebuilt or where from?

The diff dude we sent my diff to said that he can get them but there is like a 3-4 weeks delay cause its coming from Japan.

If anyone is able to help me out or point me in the right direct with advice on what i should do that would be great.

Should i just get a second hand diff from another R33 Gts-t

After driving home from work and making a few calls it seems the stock diff centers are not so $$.

i can get one from a wrecker for about 220-300

Ill just do that....

Please feel free to del this post :)

From the sound of things you like having a little too much fun in your car.

So instead of re-conditioning you std diff why not take the opportunity to upgrade to a mechanical LSD, something like a 1.5way Kaaz or Nismo. This is just the center, you'll still need to change the drive gears.

Or you could find a 2nd hand diff assembly that already has a mechanical LSD diff fitted.

Nope i dont have fun in my car at all. Sorry to dissapoint you Al :)

I bought it and the guy said it had a locker. Hence the clunk around corners, parking, pulling into driveways etc. But i noticed it getting worse over time...so i told my mechanic to get the POS out cause its annoying as all hell and he sent it off and its NOT A LOCKER. It appears to be just a very rooted diff center.

So i just want the stock LSD in which is the path im going to take.

And in other news. I dont even drive my car unforunitly, due to P plates. But i get off them in about 4 monthss!!!!!

if there are chipped or missing teeth, can you just weld up the centre???

i no its bad to weld blah blah blah but i no a few rines that are still going hard to this very day after months an years of abuse...

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
