2010 build!!
This is where im at now and what iv been up to since xmas.
Iv also desided that as i cant afford a gear set for the rb box this year im going to make an increased capacity sump(an extra 2-3ltrs), add a thermostaticly controlled electric oil pump, an oil cooler and an oil filter, in the hope to reduce the chances of yet more box killage:wack:
Got some R32 GTR bits from Scotty at Skylinepart.com, cheers mate:thumbs:
If you are wondering why, its coz i snapped over 8 drive shafts in 09, im sick of changing the things. GTR is much stronger. Only worry il be blowing box's more again, lets hope the cooler will help that.

Checked the out put spline diamiter to see if ill need a GTR or late s14a/s15 2way diff. Tis the right size:D
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/153.jpg
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/155.jpg
GTR's have a locking diff from the factory but still no good to me, its going up for sale and is a good upgrade over the vlsd and is streight swap on late s14a and s15.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/157.jpg
The input flange on the GTR diff is differant to sbody so that needs swapping out for an ABS Sbody flange. So that was taken off.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/158.jpg
So it now looks a bit like this V . Il be using every thing other than the GTR locking diff and input flange.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/165.jpg
The right ratio too:D 4.11:1 for any body who cant be arsed to work it out. EDIT: Excuse the manky finger, i dropped a gearbox on it a few weeks ago!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/169.jpg
Some other parts iv been collecting over the months,
Thanks to EPRacing:notworthy
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/140.jpg
Slight change for 2010, yea its been done to death but not how this will look in the end;)

So i went up to EPracing today to see the legend that is Leon. We collected the last few bits to complete the "new look". And some other goodies. Just got to wait on the front bumpers to be air freighted!
I would list all the bits wer fitting but thatd give it all away!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/015-1.jpg
The GTR shafts arived, the size differance is funny! Note the inner CV joint, its HUGE!! I busted a few of the shats throgh the casting last year on s14 shafts, cant see that happening again with these!!

How the hell did u manage to pick the few pics out of them threads!!!
Threads on SXOC & DW really need to be seen, get the recent engine stuff up ;):)

Any way, its getting there, all be it slowely and the parts pile is growing and plans are changing.
I can no longer stretch to a two way diff so will be sticking with a good old welder in the GTR back end setup. And will now be running a forged 2ltr sr instead of the 2.2ltr as planned. Now plan to run a lower C/R, cam swing, port and flow and some cams to get the lag to a more usable level.

Next was to take out the stock s14 drive shafts, wheels berings and diff to replace it with the GTR bits.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/048-3.jpg
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/054-2.jpg
The empty GTR casing
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/055-1.jpg
As im using the GTR cassing i got an s14 ABS diff input flange so the prop wont be too short!! I removed the ABS ring and dust cover from it so i can get a ring spanner on its easier.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/058.jpg
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/059-2.jpg
Looks a bit odd but the diamiter of the shaft where the oil seal seals is the same, its just got no dust cover, but its not being built to do a 100k miles!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...200sxy/061.jpg
The 4.1:1 ring gear fitted to the diff
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/001-4.jpg
Fitted it to the casing and meshed it nice and tight to reduce transmission lash in the hope to stop braking bits!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0sxy/007-6.jpg
GTR out put shafts went streight in with out having to make new C clip grooves!
