yeah there is no way it's a 3:2 diff. that would give you about 150km/h+ in first gear!! top speed would be like 500km/h...

32 GTR is 4.111:1 which is pretty good. 33 GTR is the same. 34 GTR is different (due to 6 speed getrag box) and is like 3.5:1 from memory. still miles away from 3:2 (1.5:1).

I can't remember what 33 GTST is but it's either 4.111:1 or 4.375:1 (not a massive difference between them but it is noticeable).

maybe yours has a 34 GTR diff ratio in it but I've no idea why anyone would do that. they are horrible with a 32/33 box. even with a 34 getrag they are a little tall for my liking.

best bet is pull it out and see what it is. ratio will be stamped on it, or at wortst count the teeth on crown wheel and pinion and divide to get the ratio (eg 4.375:1 diff has 35 teeth on crownwheel and 8 on pinion making it 35:8 which is 4.375:1) 32 GTR should be 37:9 - 4.111:1.

just to be clear, you are joking right?

33 gtst is definately 4.11 for manuals, 4.375 is the 32 gtst manual ratio, same as 20det hr31s

You misread what he said (assuming you're replying to the part you quoted). 3:2 ratio. As in THREE-TO-TWO, or as he clarified 1.5:1

given R33 GTS-T is 4.11:1 that ratio would be STUPID. lol.

ahh well he did keep saying 3.2 so yeah maybe he means 3.2:1 not 3:2? I guess that makes more sense as he talks about 4.11 and 3.2 in the same post:

its crazy, the gtr rear end 3.2 ratio makes the car torque crazy, i want to change the ratio back to 4.11 though. can i just remove the parts from my gtst diff and convert them over to the gtr diff to steal the 3.2 ratio? anyone know? its has a R32 gtr diff.

but I've still not heard of any skyline with a 3.2:1 (or a 3:2) diff in it? or any comparable nissan for that matter. 3.6:1 yeah but never heard of 3.2:1. either way they are crazy tall. the 3.6:1 in the 34 GTR is already on the tall side with the getrag but it's stupid tall with a 5 speed GTST/GTR box in front of it.

anyway I'm sure guiltoy will clarify.

Yeah my life atm is just tuning. I talk to customers and give them advice on what to buy and prices for tuning etc... I get 1 day a week off only.. but work is fun so its good.

its not legal, its a RHD un touched GTR with a broken engine, the rev limit seemed to be removed somehow.... and the guy just kept breaking engines.

I should really send this back home.. how much does it cost to compliance a 33 gtr?

I tuned a Nissan Patrol last night, 770hp at wheels on.. *pump gas* pump gas.. wtf??? its got a gt47 on it.

I have a new saying... The limits your hear about on pump gas are for the ones who listen.

compliance in NSW for your 33 approx $2500 mate.

770hp is noice in a patrol. still not quite my cup of tea but they are nuts.

hey, E85 is 'pump gas' these days and plenty of power to be made on that. :)

Not quite Georgia or anywhere around you GT, but thought I'd put up that I saw here in Estonia a black R33 GTS-T converted to LHD. Was interesting thing to see, especially since from a distance it at least appeared to have a legitimate dash and not some random hack job

if a car gets imported without the engine number and paint code plate in the engine bay can it still be customed and complied?

does it still have chassis number engraved on the firewall? build plate missing is probably ok, but will need the chassis number to be still engraved on the firewall.

if both are missing it can be a tough task.

yeah, it does have the plate with chassis number and its still on firewall i believe.. I will have to check again.

Its just the build plate with engine number and paint code etc that was removed in japan before it was exported here.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
