does anyone know where to buy a minispool for a R32 GTST?

what specs do I need to look out for and will the same mini spool fit any other cars? ie.. do I look for a R31 mini spool or something.

Cheers

Dan

Sell you a new diff cheap :thumbsup:

I thought the 32 had a borg warner :S

Was just thinking that if I weld it, if the welding breaks I will be stuck on the side of the road.

So should I just shim it up? I just want it to be predictable.. at the moment it reverts from twins to singles and it snaps back and piss's me off. Also picks up a tyre through a corner and spins it and Cant get the power to the ground evenly.

and if you put anything in that has the same effect as a minispool has a chance of breaking axels so either way... your stuck on the side of the road...

Spool on weld can break axles , welds can break resulting in pinion ,crownwheel damage or launch shit out off housing :(

Can only shim clutch type diffs, most basic Nissan use Viscous diffs.

Aslyls S14 Racecar has been on a welded GTR diff without problems. GTR is easy as you can weld the clutch plates so if the weld fails it just goes back to normal GTR LSD, If you weld other types you need to weld the spider gears and when they break shit goes everywhere.

There is a tutorial in the DIY area of the forums with a guy shimming an R33 diff.

Fairly sure R32 would be similar, he's posted step by step photos and price lists for the shims as well.

I think 3.2mm (two 1.6mm shims together) is tight enough to chirp tyres while parrallel parking etc.

It will wear out eventually but should last for a good while.

I'm sure someone of your mechanical aptitude (aren't you a tradie?) could do it at work for the price of the shims/diff oil/gaskets etc :yes:

Don't weld it up/put a minispool in. I found with my old locker in early RX7, rainy days actually required me to get sideways to go around certain corners. It's easy too do because it's so predictable but would hate to have a cop around when you have to do it.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
