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.

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?

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
