So I have recently bought a 1990 r32 skyline gts-4. Unfortunately, the person I bought the car from must have never put any diff oil in it, and i drove it for 3 hours home and the diff blew up. Im trying to find a diff to replace it with, but due to the rarity of the gts-4, im struggling to find one.
I was wondering if any one could tell me what cars have the 4.3:1 ratio that i need and would also bolt straight on to the 6x1 bolt pattern since the other varients of the r32 would not work. Thanks

GTS4 does not have 6x1 diff flanges.  That's the GTR diff.  GTS4 has the same 5 bolt flanges as the GTSt.  And the ratio is not 4.3.  It is 4.375.  This is important, because the normal GTSt diff is 4.3 and they are not the same ratio.

Most of these diffs have been gobbled up by GTR owners wanting shorter gears for their cars.

What died on your diff?  You can (and should) get aftermarket centres that are 5000000000000 times better than the shitty viscous centre in there.  And you can buy CW&pinion sets.  And you can buy bearings.  So unless the housing it rooted, you can rebuild it.

The R32 GTS-4 is a 6x1 diff flange. The complete rear subframe in the R32 GTS-4 is the same as a R32 GTR including the alloy hubs, the only difference is the VSD diff centre instead of LSD diff centre. The price they ask for the GTS-4 gears it would be cheaper to change to GTR 4.11 front and rear diffs.

Yes, you'll need to change both front and rear diffs or the front wheels will spin faster/slower than the rears (depending on what you change the rear diff gears to)

    • Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.   
    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
