Rear Suspension In R33 Please Help Turbo Boys!

[LO_R33]

Hey guys, I blew my diff in my non-turbo r33 skyline. Its a little smaller then the turbo diff, and it has different shafts. However, the turbo shafts look like they will fit, and the tail shaft will fit too, though the back of the diff wont, as one mount is 80mm appart (non turbo mounts) and the turbos are 120mm appart.. meaning that the turbo diff will not bolt onto my rear cradle (i think thats what they call it). Now this is easily fixed providing the rear ends can unbolt, and bolt back in, obviously swapping for the turbo item. I was looking at a 4 door r33 turbo on the weekend, and setup seemed very similar to mine.

I've attached some pictures of the peice im talking about, if you turbo guys could let me know if yours looks about the same, would be appreciated.

What bits im after are these (highlighted poorly because im crap at photoshop in yellow).

You can swap rear cradles from a turbo to a non turbo, the floor pans are the same.

cheers

I have a 4 door R33 turbo and I know the tailshaft is the same as a 2 door turbo. I think many of the parts are interchangeable. Good luck with it.

all r200. swap the rear plate on the diff.

does it have the rubber bushes on the nose of the diff(the 2 bolts that mount the front of the diff. if so you may need the subframe as sk sugested.

does it have abs?

turbo half shafts are completly diferant.

1.

5 bolt flanges.

2.

the splines on the flanges that go into the diff are diferant.

but they should go into your stubaxels.(big nut behind the wheel)

hope that helps.
