Are GTR guys ever looking for 4.363:1 front differentials? I have an ENR34 and I'm going to be selling the engine as soon as I rebuild it with a fresh DET NEO head, but I imagine a prospective buyer won't have a chassis application that can utilize the AWD setup. So I'm sure I'll be holding on to a 4.363 front diff. Is there a market for these, or are they generally viewed as being too short for typical GTR power levels?

Yeah, some GTR drag guys want the gears. Only the gears. They have no use for the rest of it.

It's the same oil pan/diff that comes on a GTR, so unless they already have an aftermarket LSD, I can't see why they'd want to tear it apart and have to re-shim the bearings.

 

 

Noted on the value @30ed32. Seems like it's not worth much, but enough to not just toss in the bin. Thanks.

Because they will want it to be an LSD. Either plate or helical. An open diff is not welcome in that space.

I went 4.36 from 4.11 front and rear with nismo centres and it really waked the car up , diff gears wasn’t as cheap as mentioned ($800 7-8 years ago)

Yeah all gears are becoming expensive. I wouldn't let a set of crown wheel and pinion go for less than $1k now.

Where are you Jarret? Location on profile would help me decide whether to lurk around your bin 

:ninja:

I'm in Texas in the US. I'll be getting rid of most of the drivetrain on this car aside from front axles and the rear tail shaft.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
