Parag0n is right with the diff ratios of the oz built R31's but LSD's only came out in silhouettes. The normal silhouettes (not the GTS's) came out with 3.9 LSD's with auto trans and 3.7 LSD's with manual trans. GTS1's were all manual and came with 3.7 LSD's while GTS2's came with 3.9 LSD's regardless of whether they are auto or manual.

you cant put the R200 in an Oz skyline.

The Imports are IRS, Oz spec are live Axle.

Some here can say you can 'convert' it but realistically for cost, you'd be far better off buying an import.

The R200 is tough as nails though. I have never heard of one dying :) and i treat mine very roughly

Straight out of my service manual:

Australian Nissan Skyline/Pintara 1986-1990

Manual 3.7:1

Auto 3.889:1

Pintara Auto: 4.1:1 (to help the lazy CA20 motor rev into it's torque range)

This is the Borg Warner BTR78 series 2 pinion (weak!) diff.

This diff was also found in:

XT-EA Ford Falcon

Late VK-VR Commodore

Not sure with the 25 spline LSD's or 28 spline 4 pinion LSD's.

yep the same diff was used in the vl commodore. a similar one is in the vn-vr except its wider. I am looking at fitting a r31 diff on my vn commodore but i was hoping to pic up an lsd one cheap. Or i could just remove the lsd and gears to keep cost down. Has anyone got an lsd one from the wreckers or any prices? thanks for the replys.

it is 3.889 divide the 2 numbers and it goes on a bit.

if you round that off it 3.89 again thats 3.9 again thats 4.

most use the 3.89 so no to confuse with holden or banjo 3.9.

to use in a holden,count the axle splines first.

they are all different.

r31 skylines use 4 pinion diffs.import and local.

Sohc imports have 4.11 2 pinion diffs suprise so does a pintara.

not all turbos have lsd.its a factory option.

all silo have lsd.

import 4 cy use a banjo diff the same as 5 link laurels.

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
