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?

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
