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

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
