Hi Guys,

After searching the internet for options on upgrading my R34 N/A diff I stumbled across this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/255275-r200-lsd-diff-in-r34/page__st__20

My 34 started life as a n/a but now has a rb25det in it from a 33 and running link ecu management. Link to my project thread here:

http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164228

But anyway to the point of my posting :)

Is it true that a rear diff from a r33 gtst which is manual and has abs is a direct fit and upgrade on my current 2.0 n/a rear diff?

Since 2009 has anyone done any different diff changes that have worked better? Hope you can help or point me in the direction of where to find the answers :)

I am not 100% certain as I don't get that many N/A cars through my workshop but from memory the tailshafts are different lengths which might make the diff lengths different. You will need to measure the length and width of the diff. If you can do that, I will (should) be able to measure a couple of R33 GTST diffs I have laying around and tell you if they will suit. Also a photo of your diff might help me remember the last one I did

I was pretty sure it was the back section that was longer. Distance from the gearbox to the centre bearing I could understand (even though the gearbox is only 3mm different in length)

But then again I see that many of the bloody things I could be off on the old memory department

From my research there are two differenf nose lengths on "short nose" R200s . The one with the cross wise sensor in the nose is about 3/4" longer than the ones without so for a bolt in I think you need one with that sensor to match your tailshaft length . The diff and tailshaft are matching pairs length wise .

The alternative is to remove your std diff assuming its ratio is right and swap the hemisphere for something better and get the side stubs to suit you inner rear joints .

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
