Hi all

I was think of changing my S14 diff to a non V-spec R33 GTR diff. Similar to S15 i think but with shorter final drive.

Can any1 shed any light on wheather this is a straight swap or there is a lot of custom work need??? Any1 else done this??

What about non V-spec R34 GTR??

Cheers

Well the R33 is a 4.111 which would be good, the R34 has a 3.545 so you probably wouldn't really want to use that. The non-V-Spec diff is pretty tight, only stock diff I have ever heard skipping the tyres when you are parking. Very noice.

In one of the early issues of Speed magazine there is a S14 with an R33 GT-R diff in it and they seemed to think it went in fairly easily.

We put a 32 GTR diff, driveshafts, hubs and brakes on a S14 cause we bought a rear cradle dirt cheap. Don't know how easy it would be without the driveshafts etc as the GTR items are quite chunky compared to the stock S14 items.

Yes and then you need to use GTR rear suspension.. hassle

not at all.... the car still uses the S14a rear cradle. Sure, it required 2 mounts be put on the cradle to suit the GTR diff, but apart form that it all bolted straight in :D

if your wanting to swap the entire diff over, housing and all, you will need the drive shafts and rear hubs as the spline on the GTR drive shaft is slightly different to that of the S14 hub..... you will also need to ad some mounting points from the GTR cradle to the S14 cradle.

Just to add to this thread with Some R33 info. I spoke to a workshop that has tried and the R33GTR Diff will not fit the R33 GTS25t due to the tailshaft flange being different. It wasn't clear if the mountings for the diff were different but at the least a tailshaft mod would be required.

sorry mate, no pics as the car didnt make the hoist..... i did nelgect to mention that the tail shaft will definitely need to be modded as the GTR has a CV joint assembly as the rear universal joint, not a cross yolk like the GTST....

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
