ok i brought a second hand nismo 2-way diff centre..

so today went to install it and have come into a pickle.i went to put the r200 stock gear around the 2way and the bolts that where on the stock gear do not fit in the 2way they are too big..

why is this?

what are my options now?

only thing i can think of is to buy new gears.

thanks for your help

IIRC, the difference between an R33 and R32 R200 centre, is the R33 has larger diameter bolts... maybe you had a 33 diff in there to start with..

But yes, when you buy the Nismo 2-way kit new it comes with lots of stuff like new crown wheel bolts, new gasket, flanges, oil etc.

its going into a r32 gts-t so s13 diffs are the same r200.....and no the bolts are off my stock r32 not r33. all i have to do is drill the holes bigger now iam worried about the shafts will the stock r200 shatfs fit into the nismo 2-way?

thanks for the comments guys

test them out before drilling anything it'll take 5 minutes an if they dont fit sell the unit an buy one to suit your car or buy the other gear to make the diff fit in your car

no they will not. you need the matching nismo stub axles. thats if its a nismo one,

unless you have an open (non lsd) r200 where you have to swap the stub axels left to right

could be out of a early dr30. as far as im aware all the diffs hr31 onwards used 12mm bolts. exceps the silvias. and when you get a nismo diff it comes with spacers for the bolts. the opposite of your problem.

what was it out of?

i have done a centr swap in my 240/260z long nose r200 housing, the early Z diffs (fuji/subaru as are the later sklines) use M10 crownwheel bolts, i bought a used tomei r32 gtr centre off ebay a 2 way mech lsd.

one thing i found that the diff shop really wasnt keen on doing the swap, but aggreed to give it a look over.

after no response i went there paid 40$ for nothing and did the swap myself.

turns out the 32 gtr/r33 used an M13 bolt (yes M13???? go figure) so what i had to do was machine some bush's spacer @ 13.1 od 10.0 id x 11mm long for the 10 bolts.

as far as side/half shafts i had another circlip groove cut on the drivers side shaft to match the clip in the 32 centre, speced of the gear mesh and lash adj (happened to use the supplied shims that came with the centre and it was spot on lash wise)

from what youre saying it sounds as though you may have either 10mm ?? holes in your new centre yes you could just drill out to suit, but do so carefully.

after my install i was/am able to use the std 32/early 33 shafts (29 splines) they plug/play no problems, but i can still use the old uni joint hafshafts because i had the extra groove cut in.

i have done a pretty visual show of what i had done on vicZcar forum if you are interested

that was a bit confusing but i get what you mean so yea i will just drill the holes bigger not problem

and with the sharfts i need 2 small ones as the stock ones, the other 1 is longer so i need two short ones then it will fit hopefully...

no they will not. you need the matching nismo stub axles. thats if its a nismo one,

Nismo diffs do not use "Nismo" stub axles, they use two standard ones (short).

R32 & S13 have the same bolt size (I know as I'm running S13 gears on my R32 Nismo 2-way centre).

My local diff guy was more than happy to set my diff up and I just swapped the housings.

Edited by bubba

yes, the "nismo shafts" that are supplied when you buy the centre are standard evan though they are differnt lengths????? must be only the new ones that have 30 spline shafts.....

as with all the diffs its just a matter parts swapping till you get it correct.

My Nismo 2-way for 32gtst used two of the short shafts, they were genuine nissan items supplied in the kit.

yeah thats what i need..actuly only one small stock shaft then i can bolt this thing all on.

If you don't know what you're doing then it's best to get a diff place to install the centre into housing and shim accordingly. (don't think you can re-use the pinion bearings but I may be wrong)

i'd be getting a fresh set of bearings put in it if you've pulled it out an had it sitting where they can get shit in them. not worth the trouble of having to do it again as soon as you start driving it

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
