ITEM 3 this is the rb25 sump+diff.

im doing a stagea rb25neo into r32gts4 swap

what im trying to do is put the rb20 4wd sump onto the rb25. Because i need to have the same ratio as i have in the rear diff.

my questions are:

how does item 1 stay in the diff?

is it meant to slide in and out of the diff freely?

and can i replace the broken plate on the rb20 diff with the plate off the rb25?

thanks

The shaft should be held in by a spring circlip. (I think what you have is a dummy shaft to stop oil spilling out)

Why not just swap the actual diff centre and pinion gear from the RB20 to the RB25?

LOL @ i dont know what it is but i know i need it! :(

Item 1 is your front driver side CV input shaft. The "spine" end goes onto the diff and is held with a circlip as mentioned above. The other end is meant to have a cv boot over the top where the CV joint and shaft goes to, then the shaft obviously goes to your driver front wheel. The circlip is an absolute prick to get off and your need to lever the shaft out of the diff, which it looks like you did but broke the little alloy plate on the end...

So answers:

The spine slides into the diff

No its not meant to slide freely, the circlip holds it in place. Once in place it wont come out without alot of swear words.

Yes the plates should be interchangeable (99% of the awd stuff is the same between, gtr, gts4, gtfour etc), just dont break the one on the rb25neo..

Also get new CV boots while you are there. The tear with age and they are a prick to change.

item one has a circlip on the end of it so it clips in and doesnt fall out. if its missing any driveshaft shop should have one. ps.. make sure it not sitting in the the diff centre..

item two is a straight swap but swap the bearing cone from the damaged one over and all the shimms with the dammaged one. (critical too keep the factory backlash and bearing preload.)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
