A search didn't give me what i wanted to know so i'll ask :P.

I'm looking for a decent diff for my S13, mechanical 1.5 or 2 way is preferred of course. Now i've come accross an R32 GTR diff, axles and rear hubs. This would seem perfect since i want to go 5 stud at the rear anyways so i want some info on the parts.

Is the R32 GTR diff a clutch pack type and how many 'ways' is it?

Are the half shafts unique to an R32 GTR (ie if i snap one will i have to replace with a GTR part because of unique spline count etc)?

Will it bolt up to a Silvia after swapping the rear covers (looks like it will)?

What is the diff ratio?

Im not an expert, so someone will correct me. I beleive they are a hlsd. There is no "way" in which they operate, but its similar to a 1 way. There are no clutches in it, only gears.

Ususally you do need the half shaft it came with, dont worry as they are strong (ever heard of a gtr snapping one?)

If you put the centre in your housing, with the halfshafts, and axles, you can retain the ratio you have now...(which is the other option i was looking at for my car -s13 ratio with gtr running gear)

i think there were a few different diffs that came standard / options with r32 gtr's

I remember reading some people had mechanical lsd's stock, and some were viscous.

What is the price of that diff you've found? kaaz 1.5 or 2ways can be had for around $1,100 or a second hand one for $600 or so.

contact, www.garage-13.com I know alex has a couple of second hand mechanical diffs lying around for a very good price

They also specialise in 5-stud conversions for s13's, so they can let you know what you'll need.

Ah k, a helical or viscous isn't of much interest to me, i'll see if i can get a photo of the centre, it'll be easy to tell then.

Did they ever come with a clutch pack centre? Being a hipo car i thought they might have gotten a clutch pack in em.

- All r32 GTR LSD's are clutch pack to my knowledge. It's possible there may have been other centres used, but FAST indicates they were all clutch type. Not sure about the 'way' thing, my interpretation of the design of the stock centre is it's 2-way.

- I believe the bolt spacing might make them 'unique' but I've found halfshafts are interchangable between R200's (believe it or not S15 halfshafts fit 260Z R200...and vice versa). The exception is viscous LSD's which have a unique design.

- rear cover should swap over no problem, but also consider whether the tailshaft attachment is the same (should change over anyay).

- 4.1

Cool, the number of 'ways' of the diff is pretty easy to tell by eye (from the angle of hte 'ramps' that actuate the clutches), i'll work on getting a photo of the guts of the thing. Since it comes with Shafts and hubs i guess thats not really a problem and the tailshaft flange is most likely the same but can be swapped with my current viscous diff if need be.

Thanks :P

no GTRs come with a viscous diff, they are all a mechanical LSD. 2 way.

Thats ok, my last drifter had a stock long nose clutch pack LSD that was loose to, i found it quite fine to drift with since i was applying enough torque to lock it up nicely :P.

EDIT: i bought it now, we'll see how it goes :P.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
