Hi guys,  i'm here to find out if the front diff+sump of the r32 GTR will bolt straight onto my 1990 r32 gts-4 as well as the rear diff from the r32 GTR.
My current rear diff has blown up due to running on no oil and I cannot not find one with the right ratio to replace it so im looking to swap out both for the 4.11:1 from the GTR. 

Thank you

Yes, gtr sump (and diff) will bolt straight on a gts4 (noting it is effectively an engine out job).  At the rear the drive shafts will be different so it would be easiest just to change the diff centre.

I myself thought that the R32 GTS4 had the same 5 bolt diff flanges as the GTSt.  Someone on here (just the other day) swore black and blue that the GTS4 diff was the exact same 6 bolt setup as the GTR.  I myself find this hard to believe, because the GTS4 has the same shitty VLSD centre as the GTSt, not a mech diff like a GTR.

This confusing nonsense does not directly help you, but shows that I agree with Duncan that the GTS4 rear diff is not an easy swap with a GTR diff.  You should get under your car and take a photo of the diff and flanges for us to make this the=read a useful and searchable resource for the future.

well there you go.

rear is straight swap then (if there is a pair of ABS sensors on the diff end of the half shafts), but and so is the front...there is just a lot of work to change the front diff/sump....

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
