Skyline diffs interchangable?

Just wondering whether it's possible to swap diffs between models, say for example r33 gtst viscous LSD and driveshafts into r32 gtst.

Or even r32 gtr rear diff and shafts into 32gtst.

Also does anyone know the type of LSD used in the gtr rear diff? Plate type or viscous?

What mods would be needed to the tail shaft/mounting points for either to fit?

Or worst case (more expensive) is an r32gtr rear subframe a bolt up to an r32gtst using the gtst suspension components?

Just looking at my options as my diff is well on the way to open wheeling and i'm not really keen on an aftermarket diff atm as the car is a daily driver and harsh enough to drive right now.

I know I made a R32 GTR diff go into my R33 GTS4 for a short time!

Now it's for sale on ebay if you want it :D

I thought I had GTR front diff ratio, but it turned out I didnt :D

So the diff itself actually bolts up no prob. I wasn't aware of the spline differences but was pretty certain the drive shafts were bigger. Also i think the gtr uses a 6 bolt hub.

Thanks for the reply.

don't forget that guy is running a GTS4 (which he should have mentioned! :D)

There is another thread on all of this (possibly in forced induction).. but basically fitting the GTR diff is *not* a straight fit due to the different splines.

Well, actually predator it was mentioned in my first post that I put it into a GTS4 & thit it's an R33!

Anyway, I believe the diff center should bolt up no problem, but the the axels need to be changed because the output flanges on the GTR dif have six bolts (evenly spaced). To change to GTR axels, which are thicker & have a larger spline where it goes ito the hub, means you need to change the hubs as well!

Let me know & I can easily measure the length of the axel or spacing of the diff bolts for you.

The attached picture might help you compare it to your current setup.

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

      Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By Manur33 · Posted

      Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem. I search on google it says some r34 model measure speed from diff sensor. Is it right? I talk to a wrecker he say no this isn’t right, i’m kinda stuck. Please help
