Hay all,

Thinking of fitting an R33GTR rear diff to my S14!

I know it will work but just how easily is another question?

I will be fitting complete GTR hubs/uprights, drive shafts and diff and of course custom tail shaft,

Just not sure if diff mounting points and drive shaft lengths are all same same??

If anyone has done this before any tips would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Luke.

Would you be better off just getting the gtr rear cradle too and bolt the whole lot up?

I know the r200 diffs over the model types and years had slightly different bolt lengths/positions?

You know nothing is :P

But considering you spend all day under them give it a measure up.

They can be put into HR31's with some custom work.

If you are doing custom anyway, suppose it might not make much of a difference and easier overall.

NS.com have any info? Surely someone that has done it.

Mate, i have an s14 with r32 GTR diff, drive shafts, hubs, brakes, tailshaft etc.. which i fitted/dumbied up myself.

everything just basically goes straight into the S14 cradel. you will need to weld on fork ends fot the rear suspension/coilovers.

also some arms will need to modified but nothing to crazy.

to be honest i couldnt believe it went in so easy.

Dan.

No need to alter coilovers when you can just go ahead and bolt in a silvia knuckle... I have R34 cradle in my s13 i simply swapped the alloy R34 knuckles with some s13 ones (kept all the r34 hub assembly) and switched the camber arms with s13 ones. everything else is R34.

The R34/R33 GTR alloy knuckles use a much larger taper on the LCA Ball joint but that is just a slip on washer which you just pull off and slip on a normal silvia knuckle. No welding required anywhere.

R33 gear will bolt straight in to s14 rear cradle, infact s14 and R33 rear cradle are idenitcal overall so not much point in switching it. Only other thing id rather do is use the r33 hub assembly so u have the best handbrake setup (drum).

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
