Picking up a 2nd hand Nismo 1.5way next Jan and would prefer to take my car directly to the specialist, rather have a middle man remove my diff, send it off, have the centres replaces, have it sent back, then re-installed and filled with oil.

I'd probably save $$$ dropping the car off.

What's roughly this gonna cost me for R33 GTS-T,

The Nismo is still inside an S15 diff housing and looks like it's done very little work.

Any recommendations please.

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll certainly get a quote in the new year.

Anyone know how much roughly it'll cost.

Again, I'll be dropping off my car along another diff housing containing the Nismo Pro for swap over.

Cheers.

Im removing the diff myself and taking it to Award to get the centres swapped and the new diff played with a bit to get it the way i want it.

$500 i was quoted.

I wasnt aware that Award did R&Rs aswell?

I dont see how you will save though as you will be paying Award to take it out and put it back in, whomever pulls it out will charge you.

this is the quote I got from them:

1. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in the vehicle (drive in/out) would be $690.00. We would need the vehicle for 1 day.

2. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff would be $525.00

3. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff and supply all parts would be $250.00

Just as I thought.

My mechs estimate 1.5 -2 hrs to remove it, same again to install plus oil, plus freight both ways.

That'll be another $500 easy.

Beauty, drive in/out is the go.

Thanks for that. :)

Will I need new short shafts ?

I'm simply putting the Nismo centre straight into my GTS-T housing.

I was told the Nismo centre is the same for numerous model Nissans.

Cheers.

Just pray that the nismo centre is the old school type, because it will fit the stock half shalfs, if it's the newer type you will need Nismo specific half shalfs. I have a Nismo centre sitting at home waiting to be fitted next year when I got the time/money.

The previous owner assures me it uses the stock half shafts.

BUT in your case, if it doesn't work, you're kinda screwed, because S15 half shafts have a 3x2 bolt pattern.

Hmmm $690 is a pretty good price for drive in drive out (supplied)

I think id rather pay the $190 and leave the headache to them lol

Yeh mate, and then there's the warranty issue.

I want it all done by the one mech so the warranty stands uncomplicated.

No mate, I don't want the S15 ratio.

I'll be overtaking the Veyron.

Simple swap over from housing to housing.

Spoke to Award today, they mentioned my shafts MAY not fit due to possibility of incompatible length.

And they won't know until they open it up.

So it sounds like you're right.

Cheers.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
