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 .

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
