I need some advice here..

I have an R33 ABS Diff housing which I want to fit a 2 way into.
There seems to be a shortage of These housing with 2 ways already in them..

So I need to find a centre that will work with the ABS half Shafts

Yet it's quite hard to find a listing of the different threads on the half shafts.

I am aware that you can swap center + half shafts from 5 bolt to 6 bolt etc but this is a bath I don't want to go

Do the No ABS R33 Half Shafts fit ABS centre's and visa versa?

Was the R33 the only R200 to come out with a 5 stud half shaft?

Thanks

The centres and splines thereof are the same regardless of what is outside the diff.

The real problem you face is that some of the aftermarket LSD centres don't use the original half shafts of whatever diff you're banging it into (which is generally one long one and one short one). Some centres require that you use two long or two short (or some such similar nonsense). THAT is the question you need to be asking, not whether the ABS rings on the outside are important.

Don't assume. I think it may be the Nismo ones that need different shafts (which I think you can get from the same source, or course).

Do some searching and reading on here. It has been covered a few times I'm sure. I'm only repeating my own vague memories of what I've read about the place.

Old Nismo diffs were infact a rebranded diff (forgot the name) I ran one of these before and it used the stock shafts.. however the newer ones come with supplied shafts.

KAAZ diffs reuse your shafts

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
