Hi I'm a new to skylines can you guys help me with info on differentials

So i have an r32 gtst, the diff uses 5x1 bolt drive shafts but i don't have the shafts for it (did these come out on the r32 or has it been swapped in?)
But I've also got a diff with driveshafts in an r33 cradle that uses 3x2 bolt driveshafts that i could use instead (does that mean it's from a gts? I think the r33 gtst used 5x1)

But yeah so what diffs came out in skylines (32, 33, and 34) are they all r200 diffs. 
Which models came out with lsd's, and what kind lsd's did they come out with?
And what's the deal with abs and non-abs versions?

I know there are 3x2, 5x1, and 6x1 pattern diffs/driveshaft. I've heard that 5x1 are stronger than 3x2 but how much power can all of them take?
Are they all the same lengths and spline?

Is the info for silvia diff + shafts the same?

Thanks heaps any help you can give

You have asked too many questions there. I would have to type about 2000 words to even get close.

Some answers.

Yes, they are all R200s. Well, all except for the very puniest versions, which you will never see.

NA R32/3 have 3x2 stubs and open diffs.

Turbo R32/3 have 5x1 stubs and viscous LSDs, which suck donkey jizz and may as well be open.

Stubs from open diffs will not fit VLSDs because the VLSDs have funky unequal length stub axles, which is even more annoying than the fact that they are pathetic open wheeling shitball diffs.

GTRs have things that are not compatible with your stuff, so forget about anything with 6x1 for now.

S chassis cars have 3x2 stubs regardless of whether they are open or VLSD. The housings are otherwise the same as the equivalent r chassis car (so S13 like R32, S14 like R33). So unequal length 3x2 stubs out of S13 VLSD will fit R chassis VLSD.

You will need to open the diff you have to find out what is inside. Could be anything. Could be original, or could have been f**ked with by someone.

5 bolt CVs are marginally stronger than 3x2 bolt CVs. In reality, 3x2 bolters are not even really CV joints, they are tripod joints and so not as good from the point of view of Constant Velocity. But they are not massively weaker than the real ones. I've had S14 driveshafts in my R32 with ~190rwkW for many years. They are fine.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
