Hey guys, my diff shat itself at the last drift day I went to... i'm now the proud owner of a pinion wheel tooth thats decided to detach itself and reside on the drain plug magnet.

My ceff isn't exactly stock at the rear end and Im not entirely sure what diff im looking for as a replacement.

where the tailshaft meets the diff is 4 stud and the two axles are 5 stud, they're not standard cefiro bits, and I found out today they're not GTR so I figure they're GTST stuff... now just to find a diff

Otherwise, All the clutch packs appear to be in good order anyone know whether is cheaper to replace the crown and pinion wheels and rebuild?

Cheers

Dave

Hey Dave,

how was the actual diff action before it went? if it was ok, and like you said the center seems to be in good nick, just get the ring and pinion replaced. Should be r200 diff by the sounds

Pretty good effort anyway, these diffs are tough!

I beleive the centre is still fine, because me being me on the way home from the drift day heard the noise and trying to narrow it down to tail shaft/axles/diff I was still lighting up the rears on command in dually style.

Wasn't till the noise got real bad a day later when I took it to a diff mechanic who said it was definatly the diff.

I pulled it out yesterday and Lo there was the pinion stuffed.

I called the diff mech and he told me that it would be cheaper just to buy a new diff rather than to buy new crown and pinion wheels.

So the hunt has begun and I have found out how much meatier GTR rear ends is- I could buy - R33 GTRcradle, diff, axles, control arms, hubs everything in one hit for a tidy price off a wreck that I saw today and im wondering If I could do the GTR rear cradle conversion... probably too many headaches attached to that. different lengths in axles and things not to mention the chassis probably being a completely different shape...

Okay I said it wasn't that clunky at first - just wait till the oil gets hot :)

She locks on the drop of a hat though so I like it!

My former 2way was just as bad when I first got it - she's just gotta be worn in a bit.

Cheers

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
