1G 3000gt vr4 diff in 1g dsm

[SasaniFab]

Does anyone happen to know what needs to be modified? I’m fully aware of the axles. Some people say it’s a bi*** getting the pumpkin to fit Inside the oem subframe ? Any help would be appreciated

everyone ive ever seen run the 3kgt diff always had a tubular subframe. are you trying to go 7S?

i wanted to put the 6 speed diff in , ive heard it will fit with some modification. Was just wondering what it actually took

You must hack up the OEM sub frame to fit it in there. It does fit, the axles are the real bi***. You will have to install the pumpkin first then take measurements to get custom dss axles made which takes about 6 months to make. Their website lies about the VR 4 axle upgrade, ask me how i know.

I know a guy making those axles with a faster turn around time.

It might be easier and more cost effective to do the Evo rear diff swap:

Unless of course you have a 3Si unit already.

It’s custom work, you have to contact them.

When you start racing cars you have to throw out the text message only and click a link mentality. Most of the world getting cool stuff done is still phone call or email based.

Thanks Donnie!

I'm the one he mentioned. They are expensive and custom made to order.

I ordered the axles off the website and they fit? What issues did you have?

These are the ones I ordered, they didn't fit anything, I called them and they said oh yea, those won't work, I said why are they on your website, the owner replies we need to take those off, of course they still haven't.

Which ones did you buy?

[SasaniFab]

I took apart 3000gt axles and put the bars on and they fit perfectly on my car? Unless im missing something

 

[SasaniFab]

You need 3000gt cups and axles.....

Just to keep shit straight, and evo differential swap is no stronger than the stock dsm stuff. Unless you are road racing, there are very little gains to be had,

Yes, road racers don't do the Evo diff swap for strength, they do it more for better handling characteristics - more vehicle rotation in the turns, reducing the dreaded understeer without having to use massive swaybars and overly stiff springs. If you want a better road racing or autocrossing DSM, the Evo rear diff swap is awesome. If you're drag racing, it's probably not going to do much for you.
