in that pic, are the joints the same type, then maybe you could see if the b12's shaft with cv joint will slide into the subie's CV housing(they look extremely similar)? Just throwin' stuff out there.

I tried that. I removed and bought both inner cv joints from the rear of a Subie in the junkyard. I tried to fit them on the Nissan axles and they don't fit. That's why I ended up taking the Subie diff apart and having the snap ring groove cut into the inside splines of the side gears to accept the snap ring in the stock Nissan axles. Good thought though.
Yes, they are both the same diameter and use the same spline. I'm talking about the late '80's subie diffs when I say this. They include the Loyales, XT's, GL's, and maybe even a Justy.
yeah, i wonder what the new ones are then for shaft diameter. i might hit some junkyards this summer and try to remember if no one else does it yet

***** Gentlemen, thanks for the compliments! AVERAGE, it would indeed, be easier to put in an SR20 at this point, because alot of the wiring would already be done. I have actually thought of that, but what to do for an SR20 4WD trans? I know of a guy from NYC, that has not one, but two SR20 4WD five speed trans/transfer case setups. They came with two SR20DET's he imported. He has no use for them, he only wanted the engines. I have considered the possibilities, but I am not ready to do something like that just yet. Hmm......maybe someday.
Well, I am now the owner of a Pulsar GTiR 4WD 5 speed trans, transfer case assy, axles, matching clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel for an SR20. All I need now is a motor. One of these days.....

I have been looking for a set of GTi-R front axles for a long time. Where did you get all that from if I may ask? My front axles were in rough shape when I got them and I don't think they will last much longer.

I know youve been very good with a set of mikunis .. and you could pretty easely rebuilt an N/a Sr20de ... how but swapping something like that over the ga16de in the wagon ?? could be something really hot to blow some ice at the lake this winter im thinking turbo will be too much for ice racing but on the pavement ... ouff

I got them from a fellow ice racer who imported some high performance RHD Japanese cars. One of them was a '91 Pulsar GTiR and the trans failed on it. So he located another enthusiast here in the US that bought a whole GTiR front clip, but just needed the engine and harnesses. My friend then bought a package deal of all of the parts the other guy didn't use including a couple of trannys and the pair of axles. Well then, I bought the my friend's leftovers. Nothing goes to waste with GTiR parts.

Hey Marty, nice to hear from you. This isn't anything I will do this winter. This will be a project a little further down the road. I've got to get a decent SE-R parts car to get everything I need for the swap. I would stick with the stock SR20DE fuel injection and harnesses. I still have to figure out if the final drive gear ratios match between the GTiR tranny and the original 3.70 ratio in my R160 rear diff.
Hey all you Nissan Freaks. I started my 2nd swap 1 month ago when my sister-in-law totaled my father-in-laws b13. I have a '89 with the ga16i and it has been leaking oil from the oil pan and timing cover for some time, not to mention the ready to throw a rod sound when i crank it up....lol.
Any way i have the ga16de bolted in to car now and just starting to get the wires into place.
Just woundering if the ga16i fuel pump is the same as the ga16de? I thought maybe the fuel pressure might be different?
I will probly post some pics when its all done. I still need to do some work with the brake pedal and clutch as well. Also the drivers side axle got broke so i still need one of those as well. I will keep you all informed.

yes the pump will work just the same thats what i used for about 2years with my ga16de engine until i went turbo and had to replace it with a high volume pump

Ditto,
I'm using the original B12 GA16i in tank fuel pump with my GA16DE with no problems whatsoever.
On another note, it looks like all of my pictures are gone from this thread and I can't edit them any longer to re-host them. Here are a few to replace the ones missing throughout this thread.
I fabricated this 2" mandrel bent exhaust system after installation. I had the original 1.5" three-bolt front pipe flange bored out to accept 2" pipe. Note the absence of an engine crossmember on the 4WD models. The rear mount is located on the rear of the transfer case and bolts to a reinforced section of the chassis. The 4WD cars had a completely different floor pan than the 2WD's.
Slightly sideways at 75 is sweet.
2005 New York State unstudded street class champion. Hey, if you look closely, you can see my red fully caged B11 race car in the backround too [near the black pickup]. Yes, it's the only B11 ice race car in the club.
hey mike! still kicking around the boards,huh? it has been awhile!
Yes, it's been a while but I'm always lurking every now and then. I've started to get the itch to do something SR20 powered with 4WD. Not sure which avenue I will go yet. I can swap one into my wagon or convert my B13 SE-R to AWD. That's never been done as far as I know. You don't dare even mention it on SR20 forums, as the subject has been brought up many times over the last few years and you get flamed if you even talk about it. It's very much a "do it or don't talk about it" issue. I'm eyeballing a '91 SE-R donor car in PA right now. I could use in one of two ways. I could pull the SR20DE, ecu, and harnesses out to swap into the red car, or start cutting the floor out and grafting in the floor sections and rear drive setup from my tan '88 4WD B12 parts car. I've been collecting parts for this deal for a while now. I've got two GTiR five speeds, a set of axles, a manual flywheel and clutch assy, and an extra B12 4WD fuel tank, which is needed to straddle the rear driveshaft. Time will tell. I hope I won't get flamed for talking about it before I actually do it.
im sure you can get it done .... we (a bunch of nissan mofo in mtl) are planning to put a SR rwd into a dodge colt 200gt ... so everything can be done for sure !! i wich i could find a 4wd sentra as clean as your's Mike !! ... it would be my newest project !!... a guy around here is selling is pulsar SSS rear end and tranny ... wouldnt it be great ??

Just thought I'd pop in here and update this thread. Although I was worried that I would need a turbo on my GA16DE, or an SR swap, none of those things were necessary. My stock GA16DE with a 2" mandrel bent exhaust system actually surprised me in a big way this year. I was able to beat five different WRX's [two were STi's] and one Evo on the ice this season to capture my fourth ice racing season championship and second consecutive Street Legal Unstudded AWD class title.
OK now for the explanation. Yes the Subies and Evos were faster than I was in the straights, but I am 600 lbs. lighter than they are and go around the corners better. There was a second Evo, who had a very talented driver and he did outrun me on several occasions. But at the conclusion of seven weekends of racing, my old B12 4WD wagon stood at the top the podium for the 2006 Bridgestone Series title.
