hi guys, just need some info. have just purchased a 32gtr and it was running rwd as it had broke the standard front shafts.

now i have purchased the front shafts but need to know if there is supposed to be a spring o-ring or a circlip in the position on the pic attached.

thanks adam

i know this is prolly a lil annoying but i like to know what im doin b4 i start... will i find the circlip just in the bottom of the casing or will it be cought up in something. also is there supposed to be a gasket on the housing or will it be purely sealent only and tolerence fitment. and finally what should i be refilling the transfer case with as this is the first time i have had to deal with the gtr system... thanks for your help mate.

so i took the diff cover off and found the remanance of what looks like a spring o-ring (thought id find a circlip??) just need to know if this is what locks the shaft in place. any answers would be appriciated as i need to send my wife over tomorrow to the local cv shop to get one

thanks adam

Yes, the spring o ring is it, as for the diff oil I use Red Line Lightweight Shockproof with no issues, its not cheap though and there are other options out there, best to call a workshop on that one. No there is no gasket on the cover, just the sealant.

Ok, might be wrong here, but I thought the circlip lived in the diff. That's why the shaft has a chamfer on the end - so the circlip can slide up and over the shaft and pop down into the groove.

Yes thats right, the shaft slides in the diff and gets locked in place by that circlip which sits on the end of the shaft inside the diff

hey mate a lil confused, these two statements kinda contradict each other... is it a circlip that is located in the spline inside the diff center (thats what old mate at the cv shop said today... or is it that spring o-ring that i found the remainds of last night (the guy at the CV shop said that it was more likly to be from the seal that shaft goes through.)

Had em out a couple o times. The spring clip compresses in the groove of the spline as the spline is taken out of the diff, it is supposed to stay in the grooved part of spline. Then it springs back out a little once out of the diff.

It would of come off the spline due to it being: worn, stretched out or bent or just by chance it got pushed off instead of compressing upon removal.

Anyone confused at my explanation :P I'm going to bed!

I just went through this myself... I just fully rebuilt both inner and outer

cv's and came across the same problem.

I'm glad someone found out for sure that the circlip is on the shaft.... I put mine back in without a circlip... I was told alot of people do with no problems. Its not like with the

cv bolted and locked in place a Circlip is going to make much of a difference right? ....

Also what is the capacity of the front diff? 1L? also where do you get your redline? cost?

I was going to go for the motul gear oil.

cheers

mother fu**er lol

i took my sump and shaft to a "reputable" workshop

they said the circlip was supposed to stay on the shaft. so they pulled the diff apart and took the circlip out.

the sump is back on the engine and the engine is back in the car. i tried to insert the shaft into the diff but it wouldnt go in. the circlip stops the shaft from going in.

its now ridiculously obvious that the circlip is supposed to stay in the diff.

they charged me $80 to remove the circlip.

i have the receipt. but how do i go about getting the cir clip put back into my diff? as i said the sump + diff is back on the car. and the only way i see the cir clip going back in is if i take the engine out and pull the diff apart.

should the workshop fix my problem?

is it ok if i put the shaft in without the circlip?

thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
