Hey all

looking at diffs for my r33 gtst series 2 track car.

The car is mainly for 200 meter runs. But also mucking around at drift stuff.

So im after grip and heavy acceleration!

Whats the ratio of the standard diff?

What would you recommend 1.5, 2way etc?

And what ratios for flat out acceleration?

Plus strength

cheers

Yes keep the housing.

If you get a Cusco one you can adjust it all the way from 2 way to 1 way according to your preference but most people seem to go for Nismo. Or you can get a 2nd hand GTR diff but then you have to make changes to suit the 6 x 1 bolt pattern.

Hey guys had a 2-way in my 32 and kinda got over the clunks/jerks and now looking to put the power to both wheels in the 33..

I'm unsure what to do with a stock auto diff.. do I still have 1, 1.5 way options in the ratios the auto uses?

Also it will have a shift kitted box with 250+, so I'm guessing a shimmed diff wont like that power for long. Trying to maintain good drive aswell as being able to have both wheels putting power down.

1/4 mile and cruising only.

sounds like your ideal diff would be helical. But that's another kettle of fish finding one. They did come in late model R34 manual turbos but rare as f**king hens teeth and wreckers wouldn't know one if it hit them in the head.

/\ ive found a S15 helical 4.08, which is a swap over using s15 6-bolt shafts also..?

I did that to my R32. Put it into R32 housing with R33/4 4.11 gears and S14 half shafts and driveshafts. It's a real bitsa, but it works. The only downside will be if I start finding the strength limits of the 3x2 bolt CVs.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
