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
Jack.

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!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
