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

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
