I have a GTR front diff/sump. After taking the diff cover off i found the crown wheel has 48 teeth (should be 37 for a R32 / R33) and the markings show LS48.11 What is the ratio ? I think it works out at 4.3+.1 ? Strange as i thought R32 & R33 are 4.1 and R34 3.5 Any thoughts please

The 48:11 means there are 48 teeth on the crown wheel, and 11 on the pinion. Which is 4.364:1 . And I'm guessing 'LS' means 'Limited Slip'.

The previous owner has obviously changed the gearing for some reason.

yes and standard 32/33 GTR is 4.11:1 (37:9 from memory). the GTS4 35:8 (4.375:1) is a common upgrade as you can get front and rear that fit into a 32 GTR. I can't say I know what comes with a 4.36:1 ratio... if you've been having any AWD problems it's worth checking your rear diff to make sure the ratios match.

Thanks for the replies. I should explain that i have a R32 GTR with standard diffs and purchased this one as a spare (diff & sump) I was just checking the condition and found the odd ratio. Would this diff center fit another nissan diff housing eg. 240K/Skyline ?

It looks like no other ring gear/pinion patterns are compatible with the F160?

There might be something out there, but I'm not aware of it.

Do you know of any, I want to severly drop the ratio up front and put a 3.26 or so in the rear

The closest you'll get in terms of that sort of ratio for both front and rear diffs is from R34 GTR, which is around 3.6 from memory. That's in terms of reasonably readily available, there also might be something aftermarket, of course.

Unfortunately I need lower than the gtr ratio's

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
