Kraut Drifter Introduction...

[Freddy2k]

You can hear the diff clocking and even if its german you can hear the disappointment of HJ "haaaa neeeeee" cuz we startet battle train at this point... I think there would be some rad video stuff...



This is how it looks like now... Now i reall not sure what i should do.... Sold the green e36 for 2000€ and thats the budget for a new rear end setup... Should i swap to M5 E39? Will it hold the torque? Supra TRD Diff? Or is there anything in the states? I heard from "cheap" Nascar Quick Change Differentials? Any Hint for me?

-> supra diff

[andysapp]

-> super diff

I'm not sure if an M5 diff would hold it or not.

R200 from an s chassis would work and be pretty cheap, I assume the supra diff is pretty stout as well. Really nothing cheap about a quick change other than gear sets. NASCAR ones are solid axle versions so they wouldn't be a lot of use in normal form. You can change the output housings for independent rear but by the time you've done that you're probably in just as deep as buying a fresh new one.

Erin, had to slaughter a R33 Skyline last week so now i got a GTS-T Diff+Shafts+Cardan for free. A friend has a 1500mls old Cusco LSD for cheap so i think yes R200 is a good choice

Hybrids ftw, best of all worlds haha

2012 will be epic, for those who dont know i start my own business with a friend together. Motorsport Shop with part sales and engine swaps. I also get a 4wd dyno without paying for it and the new shop is in an old army air base so there is a 85yards wide 2 mile long runway to play

Started to swap the diff yesterday. Finished the rear mount today, will turn some spacers for the front tomorrow and finish the support... Dunno if i should mount it solid or with bushings... I think i try solid...

Its the R33 GTST Diff with 4.1 ratio. I think i can finish and mount it into the car by the end of next week so i can messure and order the axles and drifeshaft next week.

[Greg]

urethane bushings, solid will only cause some to break.

[Freddy2k]

Mh yes i still have the oem front bushings but for the rear mount its a little bit more difficult. Will see what i find. Unfortunately there is not much room. I just know that they drove solid mounts in older race series like DTM, STW, WTCC and so on in the E30 and E36's

[Greg]

solid mounts are good for road racing, but in drifting there's so much drive line shock and some of that force needs to be dispersed

[Freddy2k]

So i used the original Bushings at the front mounts, will make a new rear mount with some bushings if everyhing fits to the car.

[Freddy2k]

finished...

this week i give it to the powder coater. Maybe installing next weekend and messuring the shaft and axles. Hope i can use the stock r33 ones cause a buddy in australia is making some with GTR shafts for 330AUD and he said those are bullet proof...
