I have an r32 gtst with a pinion seal that is beginning to leak. It has a stock diff and I believe that means it is an r200 short nose. However I am hesitant on replacing the seal and leaving the original crush sleeve, I don’t want to do this twice. Unfortunately I can only find crush sleeves labeled as a GTR part, not a GTST. 
 

so, is the factory diff an r200 just like the GTR, or even an s13? Do they share the same crush sleeve? The same seals? Same torque specs? I know the internals are different, and the output shafts are 3x2 instead of 5x1. 
 

I have no interest in swapping diffs. Trying my best to make the stock stuff work

GTRs use the same 4.11 CW&P set in the same basic case, so it is very likely that the pinion shaft crush tube is the same part, but I couldn't promise you. They're only like $40 or something, so just get one.

But now I look at your original post.....you're doing work on the original viscous diff? You really must not car about how the car drives. They are a piece of shit. Prime opportunity to put a proper centre in it, while you have it open and apart.

Quite the contrary. I enjoy how the car runs the way it was built to run and I don’t have any interest in ruining that with some noisy aftermarket ring and pinion. It still locks up and hasn’t given me a bit of trouble. Seems like staying stock is the best way to keep these cars on the road. 
 

Thankyou for the info on the crush sleeve. I will get one and report back after I give it a shot.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
