Okay I picked up a diff for my S15 that I am swapping an RB26DETT into. I have gathered that the diff is a 4.3 ratio and has LSD as when I spin the halfshaft both turn. Can anyone tell me if the diff is a VLSD or an LSD, is there anyway easy way to know as I want to swap in some new Redline gear oil but want to know which one to use. Here are some pics if someone can tell me it would be great. I am not seeing the viscous sticker on it but not sure if it may have fell off.

They are viscous 4.11 ratio.

Remember once you get over 260 rwkw, they'll become unpredictable.

Mine is worn though, never tried new oils.

I thought the S15 had cool helical diff anyway..

Manual s15's do the autos still had viscous think the manual s15 helical diff was 3.962:1 from memory

The Manual Helical Diff has a 3.69:1 ratio. Unless you're running the S15 6 speed (which probably won't be able to handle the power of the RB26DETT) then the ratio will be too tall.

What you probably should have done, is swap the S15 Helical centre into your S15 Viscous diff. As it's a much better centre than the viscous one... I recently changed the VLSD in my R32 to the S15 Helical centre, and it has been an awesome improvement.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
