My story starts when i pulled my diff out to shim it, but i found my pinion gear is shagged. So im looking for another diff. My car is a r32 with a gts4 rear subframe its got gtr 6bolt axles etc..

What i would like to know if i buy an r32 gtr diff can i just change the drive shaft yoke from the gtr/gts4 yoke to just the normal 4 bolt??? Is the posible?

I get the feeling my diff is a viscous gts4 it is a 4.1 ratio and the owner before me changed the input flange to the 4bolt one, but never got the preload and backlash right so its destoryed itself?

any help would be mint

got any pics of the diff centre? If it is 4.1 ratio it is gtr not gts4 (they are 4.4 ratio).

i guess they just got the backlash wrong when changing the cente to do that sort of damage. but a gtr pinion should not cost too much?

how many teeth on the pinion? you can always confirm the ratio by turning the tailshaft and counting the halfshaft turns

The diff centre is a viscous im pretty sure, the pinion has 12 and the crown has 49 teeth.

yea i would like to just find a gear set and put my diff back together but not many people sell them seperate.

so what i was thinking ill just buy a gtr diff and change the input flange to the normal 4bolt flange like the one in my pictures, but is this possible??

If i went with the gtr diff id get rid of the viscous...

That ratio is from a Stagea (= 4.083:1). GT-R is 9 (pinion) and 37 (crown wheel).

Get a replacement diff (GT-R, GTSt, Stagea, doesn't really matter), and swap the crown wheel onto your existing centre, and the pinion into your existing housing. That way, input and output bits will still match up. If you get a differential specialist to do it, they can set up the backlash correctly at the same time.

BTW, the ratio is generally stamped somewhere on the crown wheel ("teeth on c/w" : "teeth on pinion") - saves a heap of tooth counting!

Thanks for the info haha i would have never guessed that!!!

The main thing i want to find out is if i get a r32 gtr mech diff can the input flange be swaped with the normal gtst 4 bolt flange? Because if it can it should be a easy bolt in and im better off with the mech diff then the viscous

no its easier than that. As blind_elk said, just swap the internals of a diff (gtr if you want the mech centre) into your existing housing. that way you know everything bolts up fine.

so all you need is a 2nd hand gtr diff and someone who can assemble it properly.

BTW blind_elk...do you have the numbers for gtst and gts4 as well. this thread is a valuable reference now

Duncan, I think the problem luxing is having is whether or not the output shafts will fit into the appropriate location in the diff centre, ie is the shaft of a GTSt the right diameter, length and spline configuration to mesh with the diff centre. And I don't know that, which is why I suggested to just swap the gears themselves. (If I had done the whole assembly swap with my Stagea diff into the R32, I probably would have lost any LSD function, because it seemed that the Stagea had an open rear diff)

BTW blind_elk...do you have the numbers for gtst and gts4 as well. this thread is a valuable reference now
GTS4 is 35:8 = 4.375.

GTSt is 4.363? That would make it 48:11.

All i want to know if i can change the input flanges/yokes. I want to take the 4wd input flange off the gtr diff and just bolt on my gtst input flange(normal 4 bolt)

Will it work are the splines the same? Will the spacing change?

the picture is the gtr input flange

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
