As the title implies, is it possible to shim and fit 4.11:1 R33 gtst centre into my A31 Cefio housing?

And if so, would it be beneficial/worth doing?.

Car is to be used for street/daily driver only with around 260rwkw, RB25DET with VCT active.

Current ratio is factory RB20det 4.36:1 behind factory RB20DET 5 speed but plan to upgrade to R33 25det box and diff when i start upping the power.

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Cheers!

iv'e heard a few different stories on this , i know the sungears/lsd fit but i have heard the crownwheel and pinion is slightly different . why not just use the whole 33 diff , it fits fine , all you need is the ceff/r32 back plate and the r33 bolts/rubbers for the front :P .

I do have the whole diff just sitting there. got it for a steal of a price too!

I was sure i read on a thread on here that it wont fit for some reason i ant remember.

Please explain how it will fit? i.e. Back plate?

Thanks for the info man!

ok , the rear housing that bolts to the subframe is different between ceff(r32) and r33 but it's just a simple un-bolt then bolt the one off your diff that your currently using , with r33 they had big rubber bushes(and plates) in the front holes of the diff so you need all of that to bolt in and that's it :)

NOTE: axle stubs , r33 are 5 hole and cefiro are 6 hole (3x2) , i'm pretty sure you can interchange them between diffs (not 100% sure so it might pay to read up somewhere) , but r32 r33 axles all fit if it's not already changed :D

I have read around a bit that all or most R200 stub axles will work. allegedly they are all interchangeable.

So it would be a matter of remove current diff from car, swap rear housing, swap stub axles, install R33 diff with old diffs rear housing and stubs.

And this should all work fine?

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
