I don't know much about these diffs, could someone help me?

I want to be able to swap from awd to rwd when i like without worrying about blowing the front diff because of different ratios, so I'm looking at swapping the centre as i think it would be easier and cheaper than sourcing an LSD that's a direct swap.

Not quite sure what you're planning but there are a few options:

1. get a pair of GTR diffs (non V spec) that will give you a mechanical LSD in the rear and virtually the same ratio as now - 4.1:1 instead of 4.08:1

2. Get a Nismo GT LSD for your rear diff (and a Quaife for your front diff if you are flush!).

Wouldn't you just be able to use a std or nismo lsd and place in your housing using your crown and pinion wheel .

That's what I intend to do using the rs4s diff and cradle I have put in my s1 , but then swap my crown and pinion into it so ratios match my front diff, also ill get stronger axles that way and try and stop the whole snapping thing again .

I went for option 1.

I have GTR diffs partly for the LSD and also to get the GTR half shafts. Front diffs are regularly thrown way here when people stick RB26s in 2wd cars so the front diffs are easy to come by. I got a complete rear end (diff,axles brakes) for $500.

Thank you for the replies :)

Kiwi buying 2 diffs is a little on the expensive side for me, I wanted to spend as little as possible.

4bidn1 that was my idea, I was just unsure if all LSD centers fit as the r200 has so many variants from early 240z to today. Are they all the same?

Manual stagea rear cradle and diff = mech lsd :) but diff ratios Are diffrent from auto stags so need to change my crown and pinion with my old one to match the front and rear ratios back up,that and get rid of the hicas

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
