Installing R32 Skyline GTR Parts on my Datsun Restoration Project Ep. 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 січ 2020
- Today, I'll be installing an R200 Differential from an R32 Nissan Skyline GTR into my Datsun 280z restoration project car build. I also install techno toy tuning coilovers, wilwood big brake kit, and custom, shortened Q45 axles to finish installation all of the suspension upgrades onto the car. I try to explain some of the differences in Nissan R200 differentials and some cautions about some of the misinformation online about them.

So glad I stumbled across this build on Reddit. UA-cam algorithms just didn't pop this up. Keep up the good work, Dave!
Thank you! I think the channel is so new UA-cam is still learning who to suggest it to. Hopefully with time it'll start suggesting it to folks subscribed to other project car builders.
god i wish i had money to put into my datsun, that wide body looks amazing.
It's getting there! I just hope I can do it justice
Came in here from r/projectcars and I gotta say, I love the way you go about making the build video. Also, she's gorgeous and I'm glad you're having fun through this project
Thanks for the kind words and hope you enjoy watching the rest of the build! It's been a massive challenge learning not only how I'm building the car, but how I want to film and produce all of the content for it. It's an exciting challenge and I look forward to sharing it with everyone!
That's some set up on the rear l Like a lot
The rear of this thing came together super well, glad you think so too Holly!
Lol video said you hit 300 subscribers. Now your up to 5.35k nice job I'm just now starting this video sequence
The videos have come a long way, I think you'll enjoy watching them improve through the series! 👍
I wasnt sure how this series would go after the first video. I'm very impressed. Keep it up my friend. I have a 280YZ kit that I'm dragging on building. I need to step up my game.
It's been a massive learning curve shooting, editing, scripting, on top of trying to build a car well past my comfort zone. I'm just glad folks are enjoying the process with me!
Killer series!
I bought a Transdapt trans crossmember knowing I'd have to mod it for my application. lol Way better than finding out half way in.
You sir, deserve a lot more subscribers.
Thank you! Working hard at getting the channel in front of more enthusiasts, but I'm pumped having nearly a thousand subscribers in under a dozen videos!
Love the build, you have awesome fabricator skills, keep up the great work!
Hey thank you so much! Glad you're into the series 👍
Outstanding video and build. I'll see you at 100k!
Made my day, the response so far has been amazing. See you there!
This is the exact video I need, about to do the same suspension swap with an os giken diff, going to be sick when she is running
The os giken center is phenomenal, that'll be awesome. Definitely watch out for the wheel bearing/ hub piece I mentioned towards the end. I'd modified a pair of the wrong wheel bearings before realizing they were the wrong parts so couldn't return them
Hope you remember to add fluid to that diff 8:40
Still need to- the car doesnt have any fluids currently
nice . i just did mine with a r200 short as well half techno toy stuff and half i fabed up. such beefy set up
That's awesome you were able to fab stuff to make the kit work better for you. Are you using a Q45 diff?
I noticed that there weren't any place for bushings on the new lower control arms and strut mounts, love your build, but wondering if it will ride rough
Hey, that's right, good eye! The solid mounts will be pretty harsh, I'm not expecting this to be a very cushy drive whatsoever. Hopefully not unbearable! We'll have to see
You could use a diff form a 350z/370z or G35/G37 and saved some money its the exact same diff! :D
Hey, thanks! Although the 350z diff is an r200, none of the internals or rear mounting cover are compatible with older Nissan R200 differentials. The 350/370/G35/G37 R200 is also a viscous LSD, where the R32/33 GTR is a clutch type mechanically locking 2 way. The viscous could be upgraded to a clutch type, but the cost on it wouldn't have made it worth it, especially with the rear mounting covers not being interchangeable for the R200 conversion kit I purchased
Rear calipers mount on the top of rotor if you’re using the cable ebrake.
Hey that's really interesting, is there a reason it needs to be on top with the cable? It looks like there's plenty of clearance having them forward?
@@GrindhousePerformance After speaking with T3 they had mentioned that when using their supplied cable that the caliper should be at 12 o’clock. The orientation of the caliper I believe depends on the length of the cable being used. They had also mentioned that different cable lengths would allow you to use the caliper at any orientation. However the cable T3 supplies is meant for the caliper to be on top.
Had no idea, good to know!
@@GrindhousePerformance no problem. I’m kind of going through the same processes on my 240z.
Wow that is an awesome swap, if my OBX detonates this will be the next upgrade.
I got an OBX unit despite the bad reviews and it came delivered awfully. Stripped bolts, almost a half a mil off on the warped casing. Took it to a driveline shop and paid them 1400 to fix it. Biggest waste, wish I went with this option.
That sounds like a nightmare geeze... I'm optimistic that this one will hold up to the power, time will tell!
Awesome I am also building a Datsun and I also want to use the Kit form technotoy and I also want to use the R32 Diff but i dont see the 6 bolt driveshaft in the kit where did you buy these? or do you have any other recomandations about what diff to use because R32 GTR diffs are quite expansive these days
Cheers Martin
I believe apex engineered sells a Ford 8.8 IRS conversion kit nowadays which will be way easier to find parts and upgrades for. I had purchased Infiniti q45 axles, and sent them to techno toy tuning to have them shortened
I have been really struggling with what rear end to go with. I am doing an LS swap as well with a t56 magnum behind it like you. I have been looking into the 8.8 rear end out of the explorer combined with the Apex Engineered kit, but I really like your setup. Is there anything you did to strengthen the gear set and axles, or does the R200 with the Q45 axles alone going to be enough to handle 500hp? Thank you so much for posting what your doing. It has given me a ton more to think about.
The answer is a little confusing, there's several different R200's that Nissan produced. The R200 I have is from an R33 Nissan GTR, which uses stronger internals and stronger axles than the ones found in S13/S14's. I've known a lot of drift folks to shy away from S13/S14 diffs after breaking axles/stub shafts, but drifting is much harder on these parts than other racing applications. Those use either the 5x1 or 6x2 axle patterns. Going off of a fuzzy memory, I think the R32 and R33 GTR Diff is the only R200 housing that uses the stronger 6x1 axle pattern that mates to the TT 300ZX R230 or Q45 R200. The Q45 R200 uses a 200mm ring gear, but smaller bolts to hold it together. The 350Z/Q45 R200 is totally different and not at all compatible with S13/S14 R200s from what I remember. There's also the difference of short nose and long nosed.. it's all a can of worms trying to make sense of old forum discussions and conflicting information... If the Apex 8.8 kit existed when I first started building the car I would've gone that route, the 8.8 is an incredible rear end with a ton of clear, concise aftermarket support and parts available. If this diff ever fails I'll probably go that route replacing it.
@@GrindhousePerformance WOW! Thank you for the super in depth response. This really help make my decision much easier! I am absolutely loving your build and will be following religiously! I need to get me a GrindHouse Hat!
the fact you didn't use the Russians kit to install the super 8.8 from the s550 bothers me.
Truth be told, if anything in this rear end breaks there's a good chance it's being replaced with an 8.8 conversion kit. Most of the parts for my build were purchased several years ago, and at the time, an 8.8 conversion wasn't on the market. If I were to start over, or have to do it again, the 8.8 would be my choice 10/10.
@@GrindhousePerformance i like the super 8.8 kits, keeps it IRS.
You should number your titles #1,2,3... so it's easier to follow and make a playlist. So how does this rear compare to a 280ZX turbo rear? I see they're both R200, but what's the advantage of the short vs long? I get the stronger shafts, and rear options, but are those made for all R200's?
I hadn't really looked at z31 differentials because I looked at what 240sx drift cars upgrade to, which was typically a Q45 R200 or 300zx TT R230. The R33 takes features of the r230 without the weight, and didn't have the viscous found in the Q45. R200s seem to have a lot of conflicting info out there, so this one seemed like a safe, reliable bet for the power I'm targeting
