R34 Gtr Diff Into S15

That kind of depends on what you mean by "gearset". If you mean the CW&P, then there is a pretty bloody good chance that they will be mountable on both centres. I say this because the centres are the same - the same helical centre.

Same, but with one difference. That is that the splines for the axles are different. The GTR are of course the big strong 6 bolt ones, and the S15 are the smallest weakest 3x2 bolt ones.

So, for the sake of argument, there's no point in considering the other alternative diffs available in the 2 cars (the viscous centre in the S15 and the active diff in the R34) as they are both shit. Ignoring those 2 diffs, there's no point in swapping anything other than the CW&P. Given the slight change in gearing available from the GTR gears into the S15, I'm not sure I could be bothered with all the work to achieve it.

Next question why?

Also the S15 runs a perfectly good helical / torsen centre.

Unless you're making stupid power or a really into circuit racing or drifting then swapping "may" be feasible however given the plethora of diff centres made specially for the R34 GTt and S15 you would be pretty mad to just use a R34 GTR centre provided it even fits.

Don't see an issue with the S15 diff with that power... but if you want to make it stronger, swap over to a R32 or R33 Skyline diff as it runs 5x1 bolts not 3x2 smaller bolts.

A car I recently worked on and re-tuned shits out 320kW at the rear and gets tracked every month or 2nd month and still is completely fine.

What about changing diff ratio to 4.11 is there a crown and pinion that is interchangeable?

In general, all the Skyline and S chassis CW&P sets are interchangable. There are 2 sizes of bolts that can make life more interesting.

Question though.....your initial question was about putting an even taller diff into the S15 diff (from 3.7 or whatever they are down to 3.5 or whatever the R34 GTR diff is) and now you're asking about going shorter. I'm just checking to make sure you aren't confused about what you want to achieve.

Bit of a late reply but I swapped my s15 diff out for a r33 gts-t / gtr centre.

I bought a r33 gts-t diff and r33 gtr diff. Both were 4.11:1 ratio IIRC. I bought driveshafts from an r33 gtr too.

I dropped it off to a diff specialist and asked them to pull the centre out of the gtr and put it in the gts-t housing.

A few days later I picked it up. It all bolted straight back in the s15 subframe and the gtr driveshafts bolted up without any problems. Standard tailshaft went back in and I was on my way again. I was also able to retain ABS as the gts-t had the single wire speed sensor / abs sensor (whichever one it is).

If you pull the gtr centre and install to the gtst housing, that means you are using the gtst driveshaft?

As far as i know, the gtr driveshaft will not fit S-chassis as the spline counts are different on the hub, gtst driveshaft will fit s-chassis though

No, if you use the GTR centre, you HAVE to use the GTR stub axles. The housing doesn't make any difference in the decision.

But the other aspects of your post are true. S and R chassis 5 and 3x2 bolt stubs are basically interchangeable (for the same types of diff.....let's not bring in the confusion of helicals and stuff).

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
