hey guys im looking to replace my diff on my s15 ive done the 26 conversion with 25 box, i was wondering what diff is a direct replacement? would gtr diff gears fit in? i wanna make it a 4.1 or a 4.3?

S15 uses R200 rear diff like GTR, GTSt etc. One big difference is that the S15 uses a single sensor on the pinion for rear ABS.....the rotor is mounted on the pinion shaft and the pick-up is mounted on the nose of the diff, just behind the tailshaft attachment. Essentially the S15 ABS is a three channel system, while GTR is 4 channel (GTR has individual sensors for each wheel). What this means is that you can't just bolt a GTR diff into an S15 without disabling the ABS. It may be that a GTR CWP will fit an S15 diff housing but the GTR pinion probably won't have the ability to mount the S15 ABS rotor (although it might be possible to modify the pinion to do so).

I tohught the GTR R33 had the same setup with threechannels unlike the four with the R34.. I am removing the ABS setup in my S15 for my RB26DETT conversion.

As far as I'm aware R33 GTR uses 4 channel ABS like R32 (as does R34 GTR). The main difference between R32 GTR and R33 is the active LSD.

In fact I just checked in FAST and there's no sensor in the nose of the diff like found in S15.

    • 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?
