Well pulling into a driveway today at an angle, i noticed that when the rear left became unweighted it free wheeled and the car struggled to get up the driveway ramp...so needs new diff by the looks of it :)

Is there anyone that has had the std Nissan diff reco'd, what can be done...who is running an aftermarket mechanical diff, names brands. I found a Kaaza dealer but its going to be about $2200 fitted for a 2-way diff

I was looking at a GTR rear cradle, friend with a 200sx was going to get the brakes whilst i got the diff. Only they need work to fit into a GTST so i didnt bother...

Id much rather a bolt in affair unless someone can point me in the direction of a mechanic that has done this modification/transplant before...as id rather not be paying for someone else to learn on my car and charge me for the process

to run a gtr diff you need to put the internals inside your std casing, then run the gtr driveshafts and hubs to suit the output on the diff. the driveshafts are biggers and run bigger slpines so you need the hubs to suit, all very easy to do once you have the parts

Clint to the rescue!!! So yoy sound as though you have done this?

A question no one has been able to answer for me is... is the GTR hub aluminium...im assuming the GTST is cast iron...so if the GTR is lighter, then i will go to the trouble of getting the hub/driveshafts etc, otherwise ill stick with a GTST diff.

...and mist how much are you asking?

Are we talking a weight difference of 50%, 100%? Im waiting for Whitelien to release the Group 4 coilovers for the R32 GTST, if i replace the hub mount then ill be able to run R32 GTR rear shocks (available) and R33 GTST front shocks (available) so seems doable...provided the weight saaving makes it worthwhile. I suppose the added driveshaft strenght shoudl be enough to warrant the change

I had my GTS25t viscous diff done by UAS for $1200 a year or two ago.

Before i had it done i would spin the wheels in the wet constantly and when accelarating through corners it would spin one wheel followed by the other and then heaps of sideways action.

Now i have to do nasty stuff to get the wheels to spin and through corners i can hold the throttle nearly flat without going sideways. Going up a gutter where one wheel is left hanging and the other planted it pulls up without ANY wheel spin. Even after a year or two (i forget how long i have had it) it will still skip the wheels ie lock up when you are turning and you apply some throttle. As far as i know it is a GTS25t diff housing with GTR internals and a clutch pack, call John Penlington and ask him since cant remember the story.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
