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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
