Interested to know what diff ratio my car is running. Its an R32 GTS-T.

Below the model code and things, it has RE4R01A then RC43 .. Which I am thinking might be 4.3:1 ratio diff

The RE4R01A is the model code for the auto box (same tranny as Nissan Pathfinder as well I just found out - up to 3.3L and 98 models!).. Anybody else want to have a quick look at their firewall plate and see if they have an RCXX code on there, and what car it is..

B)

the car i looked at (R33 GTS-T s1.5 i believe) had FS5R30A, which is the 5 speed manual, then it had some other numbers like u mentioned, and i had it written down, but cant find the piece of paper! if i find it ill let u know and we can see if it matches a diff ratio...

yeah.. its definitely the diff ratio....

lots of details in here on things: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=61862

do all GTS-T's have an LSD?

if not, how do you tell if they do (short of rippin a burnout)...people have said it says it on the dials..but if they've been replaced with reverse EL dials, that doesnt apply :D

Thats only V-LSD (active LSD) which is pretty rare.. standard LSD has no distinguishing features on the cluster. You would have to get under the car, and compare the numbers on the diff housing to be totally sure.

Pretty much all GTS-T have LSD, except mine of course :D (non TypeM) R32.. All R33 are typeM - so you shouldnt have that problem. As diffs get old / cop abuse, they can basically start single spinning much of the time. So if you launch hard, and one wheel grips more than the other, the LSD is probably shagged.

But I just picked up an LSD centre to go in, so mine should be a nice tight LSD soon :P

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
