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.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
