As above, im after some thicker shims for my 32 GTR diff; in search of a quick inexpensive fix to get some better lock.

Nissan dont know what they are, their database shows the exploded diff assy with these spacers missing!

In the service manual they are clearly shown, and I had 2 in my hand when i pulled the thing to bits.

I called Award Gearbox and Diff as suggested, but some woman was only interested in selling me friction plates!

Has anyone done or sourced some thicker spacers before?

Please help!...I can see my car up on stands for ages and diff bits everywhere if I dont find some....

Info / part numbers would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Mat.

ps please dont move mods, no-one ever looks in drivetrain section!

0.80mm = 3842440f60 price = $10.12

0.85mm = 3842440f62 price = $14.67

0.90mm = 3842440f63 price = $9.97

1.01mm = 3842440f67 price = $9.79

1.05mm = 3842440f68 price = $14.40

1.10mm = 3842440f70 price = $6.37

1.20mm = 3842440f73 price = $6.37

1.30mm = 3842440f76 price = $10.89

1.40mm = 3842440f80 price = $6.37

1.49mm = 3842440f83 price = $6.37

Shim size = part number = cost (trade price)

Straight out of the tutorial on diff shimming in the DIY section, found here.

I bought two 1.2mm shims from McGrath Sutherland. $7.55 a piece, took them one day to get them in. On the reciept the part is called a 'washer - thrust'.

Sorry Ash, those threads are no help, as im not after thicker friction plates, which are discussed in those threads..not much about the spacers i was after.

..and swanny those are GTSt shims, they are far different from GTR shims.

So the homework was done!

Anyways i managed to source some .5mm spacers locally, for about $15ea, ill just need to machine them down as they are slightly larger in outside diameter.

Cheers :banana:

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
