Hello guys,

I have had an ongoing saga trying to fit a GTR centre into my R200 housing in S13. I have purchased a used Nismo Gt Pro, to suit 32 gtr, and went to fit to my R200 housing. I went with GTR centre due to swapping to 32 GTR 6x1 CV shafts etc on the Silvia. It didn't fit in the housing, so I bought a 32 GTR complete diff (non active diff) and tried that. The Nismo centre still doesn't fit in either my S13 housing, OR the 32 GTR housing. A comparison photo shows that the Nismo is approx 15mm wider than the stock mechanical GTR centre. I am wondering if anyone can identify what is going on?

Could the Nismo be from something else? Could it be to replace a 32 GTR active centre rather than mechanical and is that centre usually wider? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Had a look at the Nismo list. They list the same LSD for the R32GTR, R33GTR R34GTR and all R34s. They do not list an LSD to replace the active diff (which is not to say they don't make one). Do you have a Nismo part number for the Nismo diff and how reliable is the fact that its a GTR LSD?

Thanks for looking that up. I will have to see if there is a part number on it anywhere, currently it's at a shop. The guy I bought it off said removed from 32 gtr, and it came with stub axles/half shafts which are 6x1, which makes it seem to be correct?

Some Z32s have 6 x 1 axles and a wider diff head. (beaten to the punch)

Are all the z32s r230? Or could be an NA z32 r200 size?

My r200 crown wheel fits on it fine which is what made me think it's not an r230/z32?

No I think only the twin turbos had 230

I think we may be onto a winner here.  I'm not Mr Nissan, but I'm sure his engineers decided it would be easier to have the same diff housing and driveshafts on all the Z32s regardless of whether they had the big diff centre or not.  Hence you get a wide R200 centre.....

So now the OP probably needs to find a Z32 housing and possibly shorter driveshafts.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
