Hey guys.

 

Right... what with being a nissan nut for years I have sat in my shed:

 

1 S14 diff (I believe lsd)

1 R32 gtst diff (lsd)

1 s13 diff (open but welded)

1 s13 diff (??)

 

ratios vary and seem to not be what the internet says.

 

I wanted to use my S13 (open but welded) diff on my Z32 and went to fit it before my last drift day.

 

The crown wheel assembly dropped in no problem and engaged with the input gear

 

but the shaft flanges (so I could use the Z32 shafts) did not fit... no matter what i did.

 

It looks like they are physically a different size.

 

Now these are all R200 diffs, and I know people swap and change between S/R body diffs all the time. So it should be possible.... was my problem that it was originally an open type diff? or do i have other issues.

 

I want to open up my ratio choices and make sure I have spares. I'm convinced that the welding done to lock the diff by my sponsor (Tees Vally MoT Centre - name drop!) is top notch... but diffs will always brake eventually in drifting.

 

Please help guys! Someone must have tried fitting other nissan R200 diffs to a Z32

 

 

please note I have an NA... were not talking about turbo stuff at all

The r32 and s14 diffs are the same ratio as your NA z32 diff arnt they? In which case there would be no point changing.

R32: 4.363

S14: 4.083

S13: 3.9

 

:) even if they were all the same... drifters always need spare diffs bud :)

 

Anyone?
