The 4 Door R34 25GT is different in a number of ways =/ Makes it a bit of a pain when getting parts and knowing what works. Whislt they aren't as common as the 2 Doors, it might be worthwhile making a thread for reference for 25GT Sedan specific components (eg. brakes, diff, iirc the suspension was a bit different too? can't really remember now about suspension..)

Hey guys,

looking at tyring to replace the centre in my r33 (series 2 3x2 bolt) with a S15 centre complete with its 3x2 shafts.

wondering if I would need a new back to the diff??

and if it would bolt straight up using the s15 half shafts??

any recommendations? looking to get a lower final drive ratio... i've currently got the r33 auto 4.363 looking to go down to something around 3.6...

cheers

what i rekon is that 25GT in 4dr come with 3x2 hole and R34 GT-4 as well

where as 25GT 2dr & GTV has 5hole

did my first skid in like 6 months last night, felt awesome with 2 wheels spinning Lol

Correct. The 25GTV has the 5 hole flanges on the drive shafts.

Also, from what I understand, the GTV diff is the same viscous diff as a GTT so there's no point changing it ( IMO ) unless you can find a GTT diff with a aftermarket center. What does the S15 diff has inside it ? Same viscous setup as the GTT ? Also what's the diff ratio of an S15 ?

So did I read somewhere that the GTT is the same housing & flanges as the R32 GT-R ? ( or was I imagining it :P )

Bumping a very old thread here...

I recently helped a mate put an R32 GTR diff into this R34 GT-FOUR (changed the axles etc aswell).

The diff he bought had an S15 rear cover on it which meant that the sensors on either side of the diff wouldn't fit properly (it's been a while since I looked at it but from memory one type sat on a flange-thing with a screw hole in it and the other type looked like it was glued in). He now wants to change the rear cover so that the sensors will fit (original diff is long gone).

So the question is really, which rear cover to get?

From reading this thread it looks as though the R33 GTST / S14 diff cover should fit and line up the sensors properly and the R34 GTT won't? Is that correct?

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
