Hi there, have an s15 3.69 long nose abs diff in my r34 and would like to go to a 4.11 and 5 bolt shafts

Does anyone know if pinion and crown wheels from a NON abs diff (short nose) will fit inside the abs (long nose) diff?

Ring & pinions are not interchangeable between long and short nose. Pinion is longer in a long nose diff. Cheers. 

How did you get a S15 diff to fit in your R34? I understand in a R33 with ABS but doesn't make sense as the diff is the same length as a R33 non ABS. R34 has 2x ABS rings and sensors on the output flange where as a S15 or R33 has the ABS sensor on the diff input flange area.

Pov spec R34s (ie, without turbo), and in particular auto ones (I think) have that silly diff with the slightly longer nose with the speed sensor on the side of the nose. I'm not even sure that it's an ABS sensor. I think it's actually the VSS sender. Anyway, it's not an S15 diff, it's whatever was jammed into the stupid things.

Nope, the R34 Non-turbos have literal S15 parts for their subframe, axles, diff, diff internals, and ABS system (including the ABS ECU and wiring/pinouts)

The non turbo part is where the difference is.

It's just one of those bugbears that I bring over from Facebook. Lots of people think the dividing line between them is Sedan vs Coupe or Manual vs Auto for some/any feature but it's always NA vs Turbo (or GTV).

I have no idea if GTV got the GTT rear end. I'm just gonna pretend I know and say "yes they did"

And you'd be correct. The GTV got the viscous LSD (I'm pretty sure they didn't get any helicals) and the same fork shock connection as the GTT and GTR. For all intents and purposes it's a non-turbo GTT.

My car was originally an na auto GTV hence it has the abs sensor at the front of the diff. Previous owner swapped the diff out for an s15 3.69

You would be correct. It is "technically" an abs sensor but it is used for vehicle speed to the na dash cluster

Correct. They came with a viscous lsd or open diff with the sensor in the nose of the diff. Brakes from a GTT, shocks and hicas from GTT as well. Only thing drivetrain related that isnt GTT is the diff and gearbox which would be all na stuff

learn something everyday!

In that case you would be better off just getting a R33 GTS-t diff, 5 bolt stubs and shafts. Similar to what the S15 guys do, at the same time put in a proper LSD centre as the viscous centre is junk.

yep thats the plan now. only problem is theyre impossible to find. I wanted to see if the crown and pinion from a non abs would fit cause those are a dime a dozen. There's a guy selling a non abs 4.11 with axles and a 2 way for cheap as f**k but wont suit my car unfortunately :(. Just gotta stay on the hunt for an abs diff and axles when they do pop up. For now just gonna rebuild my 6 bolt axles and take it easy on the car until i can get a new diff and axles

Is it a S15 helical diff? if so they're decent.

Just a few idiosyncrasies to deal with when going up driveways when 1x wheel is off the ground, etc.

it is indeed a helical. it feels nice on the road but the ratio is way too long for me and I like to drift the car. I need a proper lsd and stronger axles for the amount of abuse this thing gets ahahaha. Also doesn't help that im a stance boi that has air suspension so my car is sacked to the ground. Diff always one wheel peels when im going up my driveway which is annoying as f**k

Use the handbrake to load it up!

Could try a S15 Auto LSD, brings it to a 3.9

Tried that ahahah, thats what broke my inner cv joint. Handbrake + clutch kick and then broke the cv joint bearing

Sounds like an issue with the car's height than anything else.

The car itself when driving doesn't sit too low. Front bumper is probably 80mm off the ground but chassis rails and everything else sits at least 120mm off the ground. Could possibly be the alignment settings I have now are pulling the axles out of the diff/hubs a bit but its all basically factory specs

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
