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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
