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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
