Hey guys hope all is good, just helping someone might be able to help me out with the R32 GTR diff setup for my 180sx. If anyone has anything they could add I'd really appreciate it as I'm a little lost!

I've bought what I believe to be an (n/a) R34 GT housing with a BNR32 Nismo 2 way LSD center, some BNR32 axles and BNR32 hubs. The part I am struggling with is the stub axles / diff flange.

The diff came with what the seller believed to be matching R32 GTR stub axles to suit the R32 GTR Nismo center he had installed in the diff, however when I went to knock the stub axles into the diff I realized that the stub axles were way too small for the center.

I started searching around online trying to work out what my stub axles are and what the ones I need for my diff look like, but can't find anything conclusive. Are there two kinds of 32 GTR stub axle?

Here are some pics:

The stub axles that came with the diff, are these BNR32?

The supposed BNR32 stub axles alongside some regular 5 bolt R200 stubs. The diameter looks the same, which seems wrong? You'd think 32 GTR stubs would be thicker, and that would make sense as to why these ones are too small for my diff.

Looking at potential stub axles for sale in Japan, there appear to be two types of axles advertised as BNR 32 rear:

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

I stumbled across this thread too, the photos in the first post are said to be of Stagea 260RS flanges, which look identical to what I have?

Maybe I've got 260RS flanges (same as BNR33), and what I need is BNR32?

Sorry to keep posting in this thread, just super motivated to sort this out right now so I've been messing around a little more

Here's a photo of the inside of my supposed BNR32 nismo 2 way, which I just counted as needing a 31 spline half shaft.

I thought that BNR32 half shafts were 30 spline? What on earth do I have? haha

Apologies for posting again, maybe these ongoing updates will help someone else who ends up in this situation.

It looks like my diff is a Nismo LSD, and it seems that Nismo LSDs require their own supplied Nismo half shafts.

Problem is that it looks like there are a few different Nismo LSDs: GT LSD, Pro & Carbon. I need to work out which of these my center is so that I can work out which half shafts I need? Can anyone tell me anything by looking at the pictures in my first post?

Thanks!

R32 GTS-4 stub axles look very similar (same ATTESSA rings) to GT-R stub axles but are a different size shaft to fit the GTS-4's VLSD rather than the GT-R's plated diff. Could it be that you have some of those ?

Ok guys here's a running update. It looks like I need to get 31 spline, 32mm OD side shafts from Nismo to match this center. I've got Jesse checking stock now. I'll keep this updated for anyone who runs into the same problem in future

Oh and if you need larger splines than the gtr, here is the part numbers from Nissan. cost is about $250 usd each? I forget

38220-12U00(right) and 38220-12U01(left).

do you know the specs on these? I.e how many splines and what diameter?

Ok running update, just in case someone has the same problem and finds this thread

Nismo have got back to me and confirmed that the side flanges I need are indeed factory Nissan items.

I'm trying to find out from Nissan now how many splines or what OD the side flanges that nismoStune above mentioned are (38220-12U00(right) and 38220-12U01(left).), hoping these are what I need!

OK so Nismo can't help with specific part numbers which correlate to those diffs, unlucky.

More research suggests that Z33 350Z side flanges are 32mm OD with 31 spline.

Does anyone know how many spline R33 GTR side flanges are? Or have one they could measure/count for me?

Just got off the phone with my mate at a wrecking yard who yanked apart an BCNR33 (non v spec) diff for me and confirmed that they have 31 spline, 32mm splines on the side flanges.

I've ordered a pair of BCNR33 side flanges from Japan. Will update this once they arrive. So far it's looking like R33 GTR stubs were the match for this Nismo R32 GTR center

Ok just to put a nail in this and explain for anyone who finds this thread in future. The solution ended up being regular R33 GTR stub axles, which are a perfect fit for both the Nismo 2 way and the BNR32 driveshafts I have purchased.

Thanks!

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
