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).

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
