i can supply pics of my 4 door, just recently been painted but ive been a bit slack and not taken any photos.

also i tried asking in another section but didnt get much response. is a newer r200 diff centre able to go into a z31/r30 r200 housing?

Yes it can mike, but all the new LSD's are viscous and not worth sh!t for what we do.

The ratios are fairly high as well. I have a manual R32, S13 one here for next to nothing, cost me over $400 but will be glad to see the end of it. It's 3.692:1

adam_rsx - mine is one peice rubber lip. it doesnt extend that far it basically is like, from a side on view, like this --> |/

if u get it .. haha like sortof triangular, thinish rubber that bolts underneath by heaps of screws and goes around the side a bit, about 1/3 of the way back towards the wheel arch from the front.

haha hard to describe, but sounds more like the GTS-R thing to me? rubber lip, one peice, bolts on !

whats the differance between viscous and mechanical? all i want is for both wheels to move when i launch as im not a drift man. my current ratio is 3.77:1 on an r200 open wheeler and seems quite good. how much we talkin for the diff mate, and is it just a centre?

viscous suposed to work harder in a strait line on hard[good grip] surface or long gravel/ice roads.when cornering and in softer stuff[sand ice] the idea is the work like a tourque convertor and dont overload the wheel with grip.

Ive see 2 types one locks harder if the diff center liquid heats up.so there is no preload as such and one wheel free spins.

GTS-R had a one piece rubber bar/lip I think, I'm pretty sure that yours isnt one of them.  Looks more like the fixed fibreglass lip that some R31 guys fit... how far back does it extend?

some japanese and exported R31 have a small strip bolted[2 piece] under the apron.in africa it comes with a/c to add air flow.like honda prelues.

Since I know a bit on HR31's,I'll chuck 2c in. :(

The lip that lowers itself (Autospoiler) was standard on GTS-X's,and option on GTS. The GTS-R lower lip is a similar shape,but extends right round the 'corner' to the end of the bar.The GMS HR31 race cars had a one piece bar,that looks like a lowered Autospoiler(but its fixed,being 1 piece) There were also a couple of aftermarket "lips" as well,and no doubt Nismo/Autech,etc options as well. ;)

GHOSTRIDER:- what oil did you say you used in your diff? Some kind of full synthetic I think?

How does it preform? I assume you still use a stock mech centre?

And is your HR30 on the road at the moment?

and everything lines up cool and the axels fit ok too? my life just got alot better if its true.

1. Mobil 75W/90 full synthetic is the oil. It performs as well as Royal Purple, Penrite, Castrol etc and is readily available for top up when necessary.

2. My R200 4.1:1 is a mechanical CUSCO centre LSD with 80 odd lb preload and I have a Nissan 3.9:1 as a spare.

3. No! the car is not on the road at present, but as soon as it is I'm heading your way sort of, got to see a mate on The Gold Coast.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
