You are just talking about changing the centre right?  And you are aware that the crownwheel and pinion get moved from your old diff to the new centre, right?  And the bearings are the same, and the stub axles are the same?  And the only real difference is that if you have a viscous diff (that of course won't work at 600HP) the only real difference is the quality/type of LSD centre that you put in there?

Ergo, choose from Cusco, Kaaz, Nismo, or even various others.  They all have multiple different sorts available.  1-way for easy street driving.  1.5 way for mostly street and tough hills runs or a bit of track.  2-way for a track bruiser.  And beyond that, some are adjustable in varying ways, some use higher tech internals.

You'll need to read up on the many options then decide.

600hp isn't an issue with an R200. The issue is the axles, and the solution to that would be to run R33 diff and axles. You should be able to pick up a R33 GTST diff and axles reasonably cheap (gumtree in my location $500). You may want to upgrade the centre to a mechanical type locker over the VLSD however.

This is my first real build, and I know a lot of people have put a RB25 in their s15s and when I was researching parts I couldn't really find anything on the diff they've used, like if they just changed the internals or the entire thing

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
