hi everyone, im looking for some info on taller ratio gtr diff gearing.

ive heard r34 gtr can be used, is there anything else out there?

im sure i read a while ago the sss r32 gtr was using aftermarket gears.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, luke.

It depends how tall you are wanting to go and why??

The R34 GTR has a 3.55:1.

I have a set of 3.9**:1's here but I dont know what they are out of.

im probably looking at around the mid 3's, so r34 gears would be good. i want taller gears to drop the rpm of freeway travel, and try and get better economy :laugh:

not overly bothered by the fact itll have slower pick up, hopefully some mods will fix that :thumbsup:

so, anyone have r34 gtr front and rear gears for sale???

honestly if you want better economy by a different car. GTRs are performance cars. they will always be hungry and should be. putting 3.5s in there will just dull the performance and give you an astronomical theoretical top speed of 350+ that you will never get too. most people go the other way and do 4.4:1 for even better acceleration and sacrifice top speed down to about 260-270 or so which is plenty. :P

dont know, but 4.11's are 3100 at 110km, so im guessing around 3300-3500ish????

eng rpm x gear ratio x diff ratio x rolling diameter isnt it?

I realy doubt that... a stock geared GTR is 2600rpm for 100km, doubt it takes another 500rpm to get the extra 10ks... not brave enough to try now though as had a few... lol

Me thinks yours isnt exactly stock in that department...

What revs would 4.4:1 give you at 100Ks in a 32 GTR? Interested in doing the swap for those tighter tracks...

can't remember exactly, but it does buzz along a bit. lol. I am about to finish the new set-up which is OSG close ratio box, with the 4.4:1 diff gears, built N1 Nur motor, and tiny HKS GT-SS turbos. it should be pretty radical on corner exit now! and will have less top speed, but now have a chance of actually getting there.

i doubt mine is modified(apart from 235/45r17's), sits at around 3000@100km, then around 3200@110km

ill have to see if i can get someone to record it with my phone.

I agree with Beer Baron.

I've tried multiple diff ratio's in the RWD with up over 300rwkw and even 3.9's kill the feel of the car. It transforms the car from a fast reving FUN sports car in to a dull and LAGGY car.

The longer ratio's make the car feel so so much laggier its not funny. Mods won't make up for the lack of FUN factor but it will push the speeds where the car may feel like its starting to really move to higher road speed. Not so good for those demerit points.

What really sucked about the longer ratio IMO was corner exit. It felt as if the car went from having a gear for every corner to having gears that were either too high or too low, that is unless I was willing to do stupid speeds on the street which is just silly.

The R34 GTR 6speed. Does that drop the highway RPM at 100km/h in top gear? Maybe a gearbox + diff swap is the answer?

Or... Another car.. The tuned LS1 auto purs along at a little over 1500rpm at 100km/h with 7.5-8.5l/100 on the calibrated trip computer. :P

can anyone answer me if the R32 gtr diff is a 1.5 way or 1 way

and will it bolt straight into a r32 gtst??

pretty sure gtr/gtst diff internals are different. outside may be the same though...

standard diffs are generally classed as 1 way.

hope this helps.

I remember getting around 3K (looked like 2950RPM or similar) in 5th gear @ 110km/h on 235/45/17, R33 :)

Speedo is slightly off by maybe 4km/h at this speed...

From here. (have to give credit)

And this.

From memory I thought I was knocking on 3100 @ 110. This is with a 26 and gtr box, with 4.375:1 gears (standard gts4 crown and pinion). Doesn't sound or feel nasty, just like driving a smaller 4 cyl car.

Can't take my car for a drive as it has almost all the front end out atm, new brakes and front driveshafts getting reconditioned.

Such a noobie question but where can I get 4.4:1 diff gears from?? As in purchase.

I get 3K @ 110km/h on the sat nav, 2900 @ 100km/h on 235/45/17 R32 GTR VSpec II.

Not sure if I have stock internals in GB or Diff though

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
