Automatic 4.3:1 diff instead of a stock 4.11:1?

I would assume the auto diff is LSD, but dont rely on that.

Fuel consumption I imagine will increase on the highway at a minimum. As you will be at a higher rpm to sit on 100km/h than with the 4.11. I have a 4.33 in my R31 and it sits just under 3,000rpm to do 100km/h.

Also understand that your speedo calibration will end up being incorrect. The speedo reading will be higher than your actual road speed.

But if you have aftermarket rims that have a overall bigger diameter than the stock rims they might cancel each other out and the speedo might be very close.

Just get it checked next time you are on a dyno.

I don't know about 33's and 32's but in the 34 the auto diff is a viscous LSD and the manual is a helical LSD.  The ratios are both difference too I think.

For manual R34's, between Series 1 and 2, the LSD changed. And i can never remember which way :cheers: I think it went from Viscous in Series 1 to Helical in Series 2. I've got a 50/50 chance ;)

cheers.

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
