Ive got a Nismo GT Pro 2 way centre in my r32 GTst diff.

Im thinking about swapping to a s13 ratio to get some more use out of the gearing, BUT i wanna keep my 2 way diff.....

What part of the diff determines the actual ratios? Someone said it is the ring gear(?) inside the housing? Ive found sfa info on it (hard to find) - is it a simple job of :

a : swapping the centre and half shafts from my diff housing to a s13 housing with the s13 ring gear?

or

b : sell my 2 way :rolleyes: and buy a s13 lsd centre and have it shimmed up (dont wanna go this route)

So is it the centre, the housing, or the ring gear? inside the housing that determines the ratio in the car?

thanks :P

The ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the crown wheel and the pinion. The number of teeth on each should be stamped on the crown wheel somewhere.

The crown wheel should un-bolt from the centre. You need to swap both parts (the CW and the pinion).

Crown and pinion gears like above.. thankfully you can just swap the correct ratio of these from another suitable diff to get a new ratio, and keep your fancy 2way centre.

just pull them out of the s13 diff and get them swapped across.. shouldn't cost much.

So all he needs to change the ratio of the diff to the taller s13 ratio is to swap thw crown wheel and this is a sraight fit.

Would somthing like this Work for a r33.What is interchangable in the 33gts-t

And the pinion gear - they are a matched set.

Should work for any (R200) combo - I recently did this to fit Stagea ratios (4.083) in my R32 GTS4 (4.375).

Haven't actually got it back on the road yet. But the speedo will be out by the ratio of the 2 gearsets. The Stagea gearset is approx 7% less than the GTS4's. It used to do roughly 3000 rpm @ 100 kph, so I expect to be doing roughly 2800 rpm with the new gearset.

I certainly plan on getting the speedo re-calibrated to suit the new ratios so I don't forget that the speedo now reads less than actual, and get photographed a few too many times.

I was just about to post asking the question of speedo recalibration. Is this a difficult or expensive job?

I assume that if a PFC is fitted this will read wrongly for speed?

Already asked that one myself. I think they quoted $275. Not sure how it's done - someone suggested they fit a new speedo drive gear in the gearbox.

$275 sounds a lot, but it's only 2 photographs!

It cost $418 for mine to be done, but they also repaired some wiring and tested the oil pressure gauge so I don't know what the speedo adjustment really cost. They used some sort of ratio conversion box to do the speedo adjustment. eg. speedo cable from gearbox goes into conversion box. Conversion box outputs adjusted speed to speedo.

It seemed like a strange way to do it but it works. I've tested it with a GPS and its fairly accurate.

$418 seems like a lot but luckily it was before i bought the car. :D

im guessing, but id say it takes the speed reading off the dash, as i havent got my speedo cable working atm (no speedo reading on the cluster) and the pfc hand controller shows no speed.

Cubes has his speedo working, and the speed reading works on the pfc.

I dont know if its the same as for the std ecu though...?

Just followed up on the fix. They insert a converter between the gearbox and the speedo cable. One of the firms I spoke to will fit it for you in a day, cost $275. The other test then supply the converter (you need fit it) for $175.

Pretty sure I could fit it myself in under 1.5 hrs (at approximate labour rates).

Would this be a mechanical type converter or an electronic type?

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
