im building a custom car with a r33 GTR powertrain and a full built rb26 check out my other 2 threads to see what im building and spec. My question is how should i go about building a very strong drive line. Im planning on a exedy twin clutch, all axles and drive shaft are custom built buy driveshaft.com and can handle more power then ill ever have. the rear diff is a stock r32 gtr lsd ill have the LSD rebuilt. the front diff is stock and ill be puting in a LSD. Now the center diff how strong is it ? is there a up grade kit or something that im not aware of? and the transmission i heard that 3rd gear is weak so is there a trany upgrade kit to fix this or do i just have to bit the bullet and buy a race trans like OS Giken? I do have a great transmission builder so a up grade would be no problem. Ill just be smooth on the powertrain till its fully upgraded but i want to be able to run it hard on the track with slick mainly race track but some drag racing. any help or advice with this would be great and if there are some treads i have not read please sent me links Thanks

Am I missing something?

GTR's don't run a centre diff unless you're building a special transfer case using parts from some constant 4WD?

That's the thing... They don't, as you know. :D

Always helps to know the basic mechanics of the car you are building before you go asking for quotes.. I'm sure any workshop would be happy to charge for a 'centre diff' and the send you some metal in a box.

WOW really.....ok fine a transfer case ,ATESSA just abbreviating

Try this, google the difference between a centre diff and a transfer case. These guys know the car mate, it's clear your mechanical knowledge is a little way behind theirs. As for "bomb proofing" a gtr powertrain, put at least 40k aside. That's if you want to really do it properly. Lonefield billet cv's, billet driveshafts, carbon props hafts, hollinger sequential gearbox, quaife diffs front and rear, gts4 crown wheel and pinions, modified sump and front diff housing. Then you need to look at clutches, it gets out of control as while you make one thing stronger it creates another weak link in the chain.

There is GENUINELY bomb proofing as you say, then there is sensible strengthening of components

if $$$ is not a problem sure knock yourself out but if $$$ is not infinite, then maybe u should plan on reasonable upgrades. Why pay for a part that can take 2000hp when u will only ever have 1000hp unless of course the price is the same then by all means.

u can make a car fast and reliable without spending exorbitant amounts of $$... :)

Pretty big difference between a transfer case and a diff!

To do it on the cheap, properly, you're still looking at least 12k in diffs, clutch, transfer case, gearbox.

That's not taking into account axles, driveshaft or anything else.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
