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

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
