yeah I think $900 to do a front and rear diff change is probably about right. good going. like brad said there is no need to take the sump off to get the diff out, it was more that in the past most diff places didn't want the car, just the diff and it's housing (in this case sump) so you had to. but if award offer drive in drive out for $900 I'd be doing that.

I'm running 4.375's with an OS giken 1-5 tranny. I'm running a GT4088r so I switched to 4.375 to gain back response. I like it but it's a little annoying on the highway.

I'm planning on building a stroker or an RB30 this winter and switching the 4088r to a new borg warner EFR 8374. I will probably switch back to 4.11 or maybe even go 3.9. I believe 3.9 is stagea 4wd ratio and will bolt in. Am I correct?

yeah it's not for everyone. if you do a lot of freeway driving at 110-120 it's going to get annoying buzzing along at 3500rpm+ in 5th all the time. :)

Don't know what you mean baron, GT-R's are quiet as a mouse :P

hehe. :P well it's more just the feeling that you're revving the nuts off the thing just to do a quickish cruising speed. and I've had pretty quiet GTRs. even had one with a stock exhaust. current grey 32 has no mufflers at all. that's right. nothing between turbine wheel and complete open tip. its fairly loud but not as loud as many would think due to fairly well designed exhaust and of course two little turbos keep it quiet-ish.

people that have done this and still use your car as a street car, what did you do about your speedo? is there away to make it read right still? how far will it be out?? any idea what the top speed of that ratio would be in a r32 gtr, i geting 240klms down the eastern creek now, with only 300kw. i was thinking of changing my raitios when my motor is out, but i dont want to run out of legs on the track with 400kw

hmmmmmmmmmmm id like to do this

i think i saw some n.z 32 gtr have this done and he was really quick off the line and maxed out around 200 k's or so?

lol. umm maybe 200km in 4th gear. stock GTR gearing with stock diffs will get you 300+ (providing you have the power and the length of track to get there). with GTS4 diffs top speed drops to around 260-270ish. but you actually have a chance of getting there. acceleration is pretty lazy in 5th with stock diffs and not too much power. which is why people go to 4.375:1 for better acceleration.

you won't run out of legs at most tracks in aus even with 400kw with stock 5th gear and 4.375:1 diffs, well except bathurst and maybe P1 as you enter the straight there around 160-180km/h. You would hit the limiter down conrod for sure.

let me ask any GTR owner even with 400kw or 450kw how many can put there hands up and say they have ever hit the limiter in 5th gear with either 4.1 or 4.375 diffs?

as far as the speedo goes you can get it recalibrated, or it may be possible to use a GTS4 sender (never tried that option).

240k at eastern creek is pretty fast for 300kw. but even still with 400kw you're like to get to 260 or so.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
