That would mess with ATTESSA i would have thought. Unless you increased the front and the rear ratio's proportionally to each other.

I do not have a clear grasp of the finer details of how the attessa system works, but changing 1 ratio you will have the fronts (In full 4wd lock) dragging the rears - and will end up with a car fighting itself.

Thats just the mechanical part of it, I would hate to think of the computer trying to work out what is going on - I bet if it could, it would sit their scratching its head.

I changed the front and rear ratios to gts4 (4.4) together in my gtr. I put in a full GTS4 sump at the front which includes the diff and its ratio. Not sure if you can just change the crown wheel and pinion to receive the same result.

You can fit a matching crown wheel and pinion set in the front diff housing (I did that fitting the GTS4's set into a RB25DET ex-Stagea housing).

If you had a 3.7 in the front and a 4.1 in the rear, then when you started getting FWD, the front wheels would try and pull the front of the car away from the rear of the car. If you had the opposite (4.1 front, 3.7 rear) then you would likely spin as the rear tried to catch up with the front.

It really makes sense to have both ratios the same.

hey retrotec ive changed gtr front diff to stagea 4.3 gears without any prob and id say they should fit easy :P

u gotta change the little and the big wheels in the front diff :P

bolts r bloody tight and required a 3/4' socket set (****in big) and a 1 metre breaker bar just to crack some of em

good luck and any probs just pm me and ill try and answer if i can :)

I know I said it makes sense to have them both the same. But I'm in a position where I want to fit the Stagea front diff, but I need a matching rear diff.

Someone has suggested that there is some sort of slip between the front and rear, so that the ratios don't necessarily need to be identical. Is this the case? Does anyone know for certain that the front and rear ratios in AWD Nissans have to be the same?

TIA

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
