bullet79 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 not sure about the mounts.. do i have to use stock KE70 crossmember or nissans.?? how bout the tranny gear lever.?? do i have to cut the shell..?? and what rear diff/axle to use..?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 use rb20 rubber mounts on the ke cross member... the shifter sits alot further back than the existing 4k one so you will have to cut a little area to allow for that.. no biggy you can use the standard diff but you will have to get your tailshaft cut to length and balanced... i have a standard locked diff in mine, ive replaced only one so far in around 6 months... you may aswell go to a t series diff while everything is being don.. they are alot stronger and lsd centres are available for them...

bullet79 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 locked diff..? weld it...?? iv heard it cause som noises.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 lol welding a diff is the cheap alternative to the 2 way.. your gonna want atleast a lsd if you have decent power.. my last diff got really whinny.. it took a little while for it to get annoyingly loud but its not hard to replace them.. nothing wrong with a locker.. open wheeled diffs with a powerful car is stupid and dangerous...your car behaves like an unpredictable little school girl on meth.!!

bullet79 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 meths..?? hmmm... i'm a low-budjet dudes too.. so welding the gears is the way to go eh..?? i don't think theres a LSD for stock KE diff/axle.. u think..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 nah no lsd's for the borg warner ke diffs.. lockers are fine, just be prepared to replace them if u go either ca or sr.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet79 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 the 'replace' word sounds bit scary.. not so reliable eh..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7shades Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 They're reliable, just not built to withstand a more powerful engine. The diff from a Te71 or 72 will bolt in and is much stronger, and plenty of LSD's available for it. You will need to use the tailshaft from the te7* as well.

Â Â you don't need to use a te7* tailshaft at all as it will need to have the ca/sr yoke on the fron t for the gearbox and you just use the right diff flange on the back of the tailshaft i suggest you have a 3" made up with some strong uni's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet79 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) i'm going for 86's T-series diff.. (need the rear disc brake upgrade) and bit easier to look for LSD's.. OR to weld.. i'm trying to keep it easy, coz i'm doin all this mods in my home garage.. (not much tool stuffs..) :yes: ..wish i had a arc/mig weld .. some reinforcin' Â Â is there a 'spool diff' for KE's ..?? or custom machine-shop..?? i think it would be whole lot better than 'weld' the gears..??

Â Â f@$k payin money for a spool, either get a lsd diff...or if u want it to be constantly locked...y pay for a spool when a welder will give u the same result for 100% less in price :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 A spool is stronger than Joe Blow's bird shit welds, If you have welding talent id weld it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
