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'.

You know why Matt?

Probably because its been posted before :P

Few threads to get you started :woot:

Edit: Even the DIY section as per above (didnt even check there!)

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:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
