Can someone with a Quaife front diff give me an idea of what the difference in driving between the factory open diff compared to this? And what are you using for a rear diff? What's a good match?

I'm running a Nismo 2way in the back at the moment, I'm not bothered with drag racing, only use the car for road and basic track work.

It's like two massive bear claws ripping you out of the corner. It really is night and day! It shows you how tame/soft/crap the standard open diff is.

I spoke to Terry at award diff and gearbox and he said the nismo gt pro for the rear over anything else.

i use the quaife in my rb26, absolutely love it. I have a carbonetic front lsd in my evo, and i LOVE the carbonetic clutches and rear diffs... but for a front diff, i really like this quaife

Would that include the new quaife rear?

Trying to find some feedback on it, but coming up with nothing so far...

Even the quaife rear. It's a tough one. The Nismo is a known unit and we know the quaife is awesome in the front but is it better than the Nismo in the rear? Someone has to bite the bullet :/

Bullet bitten, but will be a little while before I get it sorted.

I can't remember, do you have a Quaife in the front also?

Yes... If I win Lotto I would get one of their new sequentials in the middle! Lol, at around the $10-11k mark much better value than anything else.

Cheers guys, What are going for in Aussie? Just weighing up if its cheaper to buy there or in NZ. The Quaife supplier for NZ is in my city.....But if it's cheaper elsewhere..... :whistling:

when i got mine our dealer is in NZ, that is where I got mine from, from Palmside

I think Paul got his from the UK, maybe

Yeah, I think it's prob just as easy for me to get it from Palmside, They are only down the road from me.

I also see they have bought out a replacement to their Seq box for the Skyline GT-R's, And it has a Helical Centre diff built in? interesting......

I ended up with the Nismo GT Pro for a good price :)

Couldn't get the nismo tweaked motul oil without buying excessive amounts, whats a recommended alternative diff oil?

Regular Motul diff oil do the job well?

I've been advised to use the OS GIKEN oil, 80W -250. I'm currently using that in the front too.

What do you mean excessive amounts? - You can get 1 litre bottles:

here is the Motul version:

I used the Castrol to good effect.

Add some Penrite friction modifier if you get too much chatter

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
