All,

So i am finally booked in to get my twin plate installed, and the 26/30 retuned. Now my mind is thinking on the fact that the next most likely thing to go is the diff and driveshafts after tyres.

I Have been told that i can upgrade to a GTR Diff, and driveshafts, but i have zero understanding of that area mechanically.

Is there any sticky or repository of info onm this gear. Any suggestions that aren't going to include lots of expensive Jap aftermarket gear.

Thanks

Yeah the GTR diff is meant to be pretty good if you fit the Nismo friction plate kits as I've read on here.

The GTST diff/driveshaft flange should bolt onto the GTR diff and then the GTST tailshaft would fit up.

If you use the GTR hubs then your shocks won't fit though because the GTR shocks have a fork set up on the lower end instead of the GTST eyelet style.

Maybe you could use the GTST hubs with GTR axle bearings to suit the bigger half shafts?

This is purely speculation on my part. I'm quite interested in that idea as I currently have a whole GTR rear subframe and diff etc sitting next to my R33 GTST.

you can purchase a brand new diff like a kazz, nismo, cusco, tomie....all come in 1 way,1.5way, 2 way. kazz diffs start from $1100 delivered and are well known and and are really great.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
