R32 Rb20 Diff

[wheels_24]

Hello there i am about to replace my diff and was wondering what should i put in it I have R32 GTS-T, just want to know how much power can they handle at the moment i have 210rwkw but am hoping to get to about 230-240 maybe with this new fuel pump i am getting next week just want to know should i just put a newer RB20 diff in as i can get 1 for $320 fitted with 3 month warrenty or should i put something else in not sure what else fits thanks any help would be great

The R200 diffs are quite strong.

They don't tend to simply blow, they tend to start openwheeling once you up the power level with a 10+yr old diff.

They can be tightened to stop the single spinning for around $350 or so.

Mine open wheels a fair bit now... when you say tightened is that what re-shimmed means? how hard is it to do yourself?

They replace the shims that work on the viscous coupling for the lsd. They put thicker shims in and it in turn tightens your diff, however they also become losser faster once this mod is done as there is more pressure than standard... I would suggest a mechanical diff, however no one should have problems with a modded standard item till at least 250rwkw+. As a side note these diffs are incredibly strong as skyline owners we should all thank our stars that our diffs take 5 times the factory power out put and more and live on, they only ever really suffer drive shaft failures in full own gtr drag cars and even then the remidee is an easy one!!!

Hope this helps

jnr32r,

Since the RB30 went in all mine does is open wheel.

The other day I planted it in second from low rpm, one wheel spun up and ploomed the right wheel guard.

Looked cool in the side mirror, reminded me of the 16-17yr old days when I first got my license with the TE Cortina.

with "re-shimming" is that just the same as getting your diff rebuilt??

if not, can anyone share what the difference is?

I'd hope if you paid to get your dif re-built it would at least include new bearings and seals, if not also the lsd cones/cluthches.

no. a rebuild will be to stock spec.

Shimming it up will make it almost as good as an aftermarket locker at 1/3 the price.

Did it with my diff... ive done drag days, and some hard km's. 12 months on no signs of wear or it breaking down

Anyone know of any reputable shop that would re-shim my diff in Syd?
