Hey guys have a s15 centre and halfshafts that im going to put into my r32 gtst housing if its not too hard as mines screwed. I have s13 driveshafts that i can bolt onto the halfshafts. All i need to know is will the s13 driveshafts fit into my r32 rear hubs? And would they be the right length. I hope they will as s13 and r32 rear setup is similar. Any help would be great...

Thanks guys :down:

Yeah i have heard that they are weaker but the still take over 300rwkw so i should be fine. If my half shafts fit into the diff then ill keep them for sure, just didnt think they would fit. Guess theres only one way to find out...

Has anyone else done this before?

the s15 center has more splines and a larger diameter from memory. The r32 output shafts won't fit the center.

You will need to use the s15 output shaft and the s13 drive shaft.

The car i'm buying actually has this done :P and will get my r32 diff with nismo center and r32 drive shafts installed in it too.

You can pretty much swap anything around between s13 and r32 at the back end with no problems. Even the arms, sway bars and struts are interchangable

they are, but on the 32 shafts theres also a section thats a smaller diameter than the rest. Thats the point it'll fail at if the shaft is going to fail.

Alot of people seem to kill the inner CV's before the shaft though which implies thats the weak link.

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!

      They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
