ok guys im sorry for annoying the forum but i dont have a jack and no one around me know either, but does anyone know

if a kaaz 2.0 lsd out of a R32 will fit in my series 2 R33? Im seeing all this 6 bolt 5 bolt diff housing does any of this have anything

to do with me? As far as i know im told that my diff is a R200 and as long as its somthing like that i should be sweet,

if anyone can educate me on what my standard diff is and what can fit i'd be very great full.

Cheers guys

You'll have to be more specific about the models of car you're talking about. Given you haven't supplied this info, I'll make an assumption you're talking about an R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T. They both use the same KAAZ diff centre (SAN2645), so it will be interchangeable between both R200 diff housings no problem. Whether you can put an R32 diff housing into an R33 vehicle is another thing though - might need to put in R33 side flanges to make it fit with your driveshafts.

When people talk about 5 and 6 bolt, they are referring to the bolt pattern of the side flanges where your driveshafts bolt on. R33 GTS-T have 5 bolt flanges. R32 GTS-T may use the 6 bolt (3x2) pattern, and this is why the R32 diff housing probably won't be a direct swap into an R33.

R32 GTSt uses 5x1 flanges like R33 GTSt, S13 uses 3x2 flanges and GTR uses 6x1.

S13 housing bolted in to my R32 but I have a funny feeling that R33 housings bolt up slightly differently (maybe bigger bolts at the front, seems to ring a bell).

Ahhh that's it, I remember why an R32 housing won't bolt directly in now...the mounting holes up front are smaller than an R33 diff. Backing plate is also different, however these can be swapped. Here is an R32 GTS-T diff:

Ah ok i apologize about not supplying the correct info, but yes Birds you are correct that the models are the GTS-T's, also i was referring to the diff centers

so yet again you provided me with more correct information.

I appreciate all the good info thats all i need boys cheers.

For reference guys. The backing plate on 32 gtst housing has four bolts. 33 gtst has 2 larger bolts. The 33 gtst housing also has much bigger ears at the front of the housing. Both use 5 bolt half shafts in 5 x 1 comfiguration. The centers are essentially the same and can be swapped. How ever if ur putting the center out of say a mate 32 into your 33 then make sure you use your own crown wheel on his centre. Dont use his crown wheel. Crown wheel and pinion gear are a matched pair in all differentials so u should not going swapping crown wheel. It promotes noise and premature wear.

Cheers mate thats a helpful hint i otherwise would have never found out about haha good info

cheers, jace

This is true. However, R32 is 4.36:1 isn't it? You'd be nuts to swap to it anyway!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
