I was assuming after all.

Merry Xmas... ho ho ho.. :D

So the R33 N/A runs a 4.08:1 ratio.

The R200 comes in a variety of ratio's so we have plenty to choose from.

All that is required is a change of the crown and pinion.

Right from 3.7 (3.69 I think to be exact), 3.9, 4.08, 4.11, 4.363:1, 4.6 I think it was, I also do remember there was some even higher diff ratio's.

All parts are also very cheap.. Just a pitty there isn't as much of an option for the VL.

There is one option. The R31 runs a 3.7:1 and 3.9:1 ratio. Take your pic. :cheers:

Best bet is to head over to calaisturbo.com

They know the ins and outs of which diff fits what.

I do know a friend of mine is going to fit up a 3.9 or 3.7:1 diff ratio in to his VLT open wheeler depending on availability.

He prefers the 3.7:1 but 'may' end up going the 3.9:1.

I used Pintara 4.11 crown wheel and pinion on my aussie built r31 skyline with the borg warner diff . I fitted the crown wheel to the skyline centre . It bolts straight in ( bolt holes are the same ) . The skyline has 4 side gears as against the pintaras 2 . Also skyline has 28 spline axles , pintara 25 spline axles . My diff is open centre but i have fitted a mini spool which cost me $ 77 new . I,m not sure about axles for a VL think they are 25 spline with the turbo model having 28 spline , i may be wrong .

By the way my engine is rb30de , and was happy with 3.7 gears , but i just wanted better times at the drags , hence the 4.11 mini spooled diff .

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
