Was wondering if there were any options to upgrade the stock open diff that comes in the Auto V35?

I have found that on take off @ a busy intersection the back left wheel will break traction easialy and then traction controll will kick in and everythig slows down. Was thinking that a LSD would help since power would go evenaly to both rear wheels. Have also noticed this when turning right and giving it a bit of stick mid turn

Taken from this site

Z33 - MT - R200 - 3.538

Z33 - MT - R200V - 3.538

Z33 - AT - R200V - 3.357

Z32TT - R230V - 3.692

Z32 - R200V - 4.083

G35 - Sedan - AT - R200 - 3.357

G35 - Sedan - MT - R200V - 3.538

G35 - Sedan - AWD - AT - R200 - 3.357

G35 - Coupe - MT - R200V - 3.538

G35 - Coupe - AT - R200 - 3.357

G35 - Coupe - AT - R200V - 3.357

Q45 - G50 - R200V - 3.538

Q45 - FY33 - R200V - 3.692

R32 GTR - RB26DETT - MT - F160 - 4.111 - (Front Final Gear)

R32 GTR - RB26DETT - MT - R200 (Mechanical LSD) - 4.111

S15 - MT - R200H - 3.692

S15 - AT - R200V - 3.916

S14 - KA24DE - 4.083

S14 - SR20DET - MT - R200V - 3.692

S14 - SR20DET - AT - R200V - 3.915

S13 - KA24DE - 4.083 - (Both R200 and R200V

So im guessing that a R200V is the stock viscous "spelling" hence the V LSD

so if thats the case then if I can find someone with a S14 MT whos pulling out their diff centre to fit a 1.5 or a 2 way mech centre then I should be able to swap my diff centre with theirs and have a LSD with a similar ratio to what the stock open V35 LSD is? It also looks like the 350z Z33 autos came with a LSD well according to the site this info is from and it also has the same 3.357 ratio

OK now for the NOOB question will a higher ratio eg 4 give better acceleration and less top speed than a lower ratio eg 3? im thinking that the higher the ratio the less top speed but faster accel

well the ratio of the Z32 is 4.083 and id like to keep the rato as close to stock as possivle hence why the S14 MT ratio of 3.69 is closer to the stock ratio V35 auto ratio of 3.357. Also findind a S14 owner whos upgrading their diff centre will be a lot easier than a Z32 owner. After all when I had my S13 and I had a KAZZ 2 way put in my old diff centre went in the bin.... didnt think it was worth anything and im sure most S14 owners would think the same

Well im no mechanic... but would love it if someone who knew about these things could come post and enlighten us

but one would think that a R200 is a R200 just like a SR20 is basicaly the same SR20 weather it be a S13 14 or 15... I know that there are differences in the plenum cams and other stuff but just using that as an example

except that FWD SR20s are different engines to RWD SR20s :P

but afaik an R200 rear end contains all the same internals (except ratio and if its LSD equipped), i think only the rear casing is different as per the car that its installed into. i dont even think you need to get the ratio the same (assuming its an RWD V35) if you want longer gearing or shorter, the speed is taken from the ABS signal taken after the final drive....

Some comments

I put a new front coupling on my diff and the shaft is bigger than the R32/R33 ones, just makes me question compatability.

Z32 is an R230 so incompatable.

Would also be cautious with changing the ratio with the auto, need to check if this would impact anything with the auto output shaft comparison with ABS signal within the transmission computer.

Hope this is helpful.

actually id like to change wat i said, the entire casing may be different lol just change the internals :P

the ABS signal only sends back the speed of the wheel no matter what ratios are before it. ABS doesnt know what gear youre in or your final drive ratio.

Yeah i was thinking it would be easier to just change the internals like when I had a kazz centre put in my 180sx diff

I had a feeling that the speedo came off one of the wheels or something so changing gearbox/diff would not change speedo reading. As for the auto computer i never thought it would have any issues with the diff ratio being changed? after all wont it be looking more @ rpm and speed and throttle position?

on newer cars like ours the speed is taken after the diff. older cars like S13/S14 had a gearbox sensor.

and yes the auto tranny shouldnt act any differently, youll either accelerate faster or slower depending on the ratio off the diff. that said, the gearbox might slip more with a taller final drive....

No there should be no change as the ABS sensors are on the wheel side of the diff.

Great! now all I need to know is if I can simply install a S14 MT diff centre in my V35 and all will be good with no more single spinning badness

Would my CVT (GT-8) be open diff as well then???

I am assuming open diff means Non-slip Differential???

As I want to do a Diff Flush but stuck in finding out if to get AmsOil (75W90) Normal GL-5 LSD Diff oil or NS (non-slip) GL-5 Diff Oil???

LSD it is for the GT-8 & 6MT...

Best Ever Spec Sheet!!!

Thank you so much Greg :) AAA+++

PS. Do you read/write Japanese?

To do the same and source out a workshop manual in English in any format as I can only find a Japanese CD Workshop after countless searches! :(

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
