Sup peoplez,

Took some photos of my HICAS and diff today and have some questions:

1. The hicas setup looks like it sits in the fins of the diff. Would a normal HICAS lock bar fit this ? I had a look at GTRGeoffs thread but his pics look like different HICAS setup. Huddy said he has a lock bar, maybe he could shed some light.

2. I had a look at my diff to see if it was an R200 or the other one (cant remember) and it didnt have either of the silvia bolt patterns, (6 bolts in 3 pairs, or 5 seperate bolts). It looked to me like it only has 4 bolts spaced evenly. Anyone know what kind of diff this is ?

yes GTRGeoffs lock bars do fit fine. i've got one of his on my cefiro, and also used one on my previous r32, they work a treat, don't worry bout the fins, its indented there so no issues with fitting. I think his pics he used on his example was a r33 from memory, hence the difference.

the 4 bolt u see in that last 2 pics are for the tailshaft, u gotta look at the bolts going onto the side of the diff attaching to the drive shafts....i can't remember which is which thou im sure others will recal. hmm maybe 6 bolts paird in 2's is r180 diff and 5 even spaced is r200. i could be wrong.

first time i did it myself on the r32, was pretty easy job. second time it was easier to get Chasers to do it while the car was there getting other stuff done at same time including a diff swap, so not sure on price as it was a bill including everything in the one price.

btw that appears to be a R180 diff. just double checked -> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...dpost&p=1484652

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
