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....

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
