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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
