Has anyone done a 4.11 final drive on their gtr34? What needs to be done for the swap?

The car is gtr34 vspec with A-LSD, and I have bought R32's 4.11 front and rear crown and pinion, anything else needs to be installed for the job?

driveshaft, axle, transfer case, etc??

thanks in advance for help.

Al long as you can get through the gears quickly

Even with stock box stock ratios on the R34 with 300+kw first is nearly useless and still need to grab 5th down the quater, 2nd gear with 3.55s is just that little bit to tall but with enough revs and enough hating of clutch can be luanched in 2nd

Personally I would spend the money on changing the diff gears on getting more power

ask piggaz he went from a-lsd to mechanical in his r33, I know the diff and half shafts needed to be changed but not sure what else had to be done

But if the plan is to keep the a-lsd in place, just replace the crown wheel and pinions and enjoy your new shorter ratios

The A-LSD to a real diff isn't a set in stone rule Apparantly. Terry from Award said its a car by car thing. Mine I had to replace the shafts but that doesn't mean the very next car off the production line needs to. That's what he said anyway.

Doesn't really help :/.

I'm pretty certain, given how rare non-Vspec R34 diffs are, you can use an R33 non-Vspec but there's more involved

not much more involved just changing the bolt size and length for the drive shafts. I'm using gtr33 non v spec diff but with 4.3 ratio... Edited by QUP29

wouldnt it be easier if u wanted to keep a-lsd at 4.11 ratio to swap with vspec 33?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
