allo all,

ok, so I has a long term project. to build a 300km/h+ Skyline.

What I have to work with:

Stock r33 '97 GTST, 98000k. now I think the diff ratio are 4.11 (granted its had the whole rear cradle replaced so I'm not entirely sure whats in it...) <-- any way to find out?

my main question, who makes a/m diff's for these things with tall ratio's? aka 3.9/3.7 ? i'm kinda iffy about getting s/h diff centres, not something I want going crunch...yesh, it won't be much chop on a stock engine, but I'm looking at a rb30/25 with a t04 in the long run as well.

This is what I did when I wanted taller ratios..

-Sourced a second hand auto S13 complete diff which is 3.9:1 (you need the whole things as the crown wheel has to match the pinion gear)

-Ordered a Nismo 2-way

-Gave S13 diff and 2-way centre to my diff guy to set up

-Collect new diff

-Put car on hoist and swap complete old diff for complete new diff

I vaguely remember coming across a 3.7:1 diff but can't remember what it was out of.. I recommend doing some searching as I think various ratios and what they came from was discussed.

Is the goal to just see 300 on the speedo/readout or do you want more? If so change the diff and then you don't have to rev the crap out of it

Here's another option to consider, if you're going to get a gearset for the gearbox, get a custom 5th gear made and leave the diff alone.

From memory a factory GTR ratio (gearbox & diff) will get to just over 300km/h (7500rpm+) provided you have the power to get there of course.

That would then mean, given the ratios are the same in GTS-t, you should be fine.

Nothing would require alterations at all really.

For the 3.7, pretty certain that was from the old Z stuff, but that is longnose R200, not sure of the dramas that might surround that.

Although in this day and age im sure there is someone that probably makes a off-shelf type thing anyway.

How about getting a six speed gearbox and fitting all the normal ratios up to fifth that the standard five speed has and then getting a lower ratio gear cut for sixth gear ? Probably around 0.6 ratio. This way you get relitavly normal driving and that way you dont have to change diff ratios.

Nah they won't unfortunately Ash, they fall quite short on stock gearing unless revved to 8000+. As Dave says sounds about correct. There was a similar discussion in this thread:

lol, reads more like theorising as well ;)

Perhaps the car im thinking off had a different gearset.

I'll have to dig up some info - this is going back quite a while.

Lol I had some estimates to back up my claims ;)

From a bit of quick math with a Nissan Skyline 5th gear ratio of 0.75 and a final drive ratio of 4.111 and a common set of tyres such as 255/35/18 used, you would need approximately 8000rpm to hit 300km/h. 7500rpm would only give around 288km/h.

Where as a R34 GTR on same tyres revving to 8000rpm would hit around 340km/h due to its 6th gear ratio of 0.79 and final drive ratio of 3.55:1.

However this is only theoretical :down:

farout where do u plan to go 300km? you doin a trip to the salt lakes?

trouble with the salt lakes it the 70km of shitty dirt road you have to cross.

Here's an idea...

Get a couple of mates who wanna do it too.

Find a nice quiet 3km straight stretch of road in the country with no houses around and good phone coverage.

Go out with 3 cars and phones. Scope the straight then put a car 2-3 km's past the start and finish.

Wait for the all clear...

Go for it. ;)

Speaking completely hypothetically, to achieve 300km/h you really don't need that long of a stretch of road. Numerous highways in Australia would EASILY accomodate for such a speed and im sure have. Shame it is illegal to do so though and therefore should not be done.

But yeah 431km/h with that Veyron was insane!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
