KE70_Rolla Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The diff in my KE70 has decided that is wants to shit itself (Not all the way shit itself but enough to not drive it incase it does break), I'm just wondering how much will it cost to buy a new or second hand one, it doesn't really matter if it is second hand because I will be getting a new diff with disk brakes just to upgrade them from shitty drums. So how much would a new diff be and to upgrade it to disks and how much would it cost to get a second hand diff, may have to get a new driveshaft because my cluth foot is kind of an itchy bugger, same as my throtle foot. Also is it bad when there is oil in the drive shaft tunnel just above where the driveshaft meets the gear box and should I replace that too if it is doing that.

KE70_Rolla Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Nah I'm going to upgrade to disks when I get enough money, but what I want to know is how much for another diff for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Depends what sort of diff you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_Rolla Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 One that will fit straight in and actually take a bit of a thrashing from an itchy clutch foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Nothing will fit straight into a KE70. The closest "bolt in" diff would be an import AE86, and you're looking at some $$$ for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 a t18 diff bolts straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 T18 diff has no discs. But you can convert it to disc, again not bolt in. If you use a T18 diff you'll need to get the T18 tailshaft too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 i doubt this guy needs discs :n: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 my ae86 rear axle with discs was a direct bolt on to my ke70.. but I guess you guys only got ae86 with drums :n: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Well, he was asking for a bolt on diff with discs, so I told him like it is :n: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_Rolla Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Actually I was looking for a diff and possibly upgrading to disks because I just prefer them over annoying drums. Anyway if I can't get the disks for it then I will suffer with drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) I know the felling but T18 drums a HUGE. They completely fill a 14 inch wheel Edited July 9, 2005 by Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 If you don't mind the drums, T18 diff is the way to go. You can get LSD centers for them too (for lots of $$$, but they are available). Lots of people want discs cause of the big myth that drums don't work. Lots of people want discs when they don't need discs. That said, I have discs and I lub them :n: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 you have discs because you know why you need them and you actually do use them there is a large belief that most people want rear discs because they read it on the internet somewhere and it sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_Rolla Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) The reason I want Disk brakes is because my first car had them, I prefer them over drums because they are easier to change the brake pads, I think, My KE70 for races, please it's to slow, a snail could beat it, Diff and drive shaft is weak, My old Mazda was better than it, at least that could take a thrashing from me and still not break anything. Oh well parents bought it for me because of what happened to me in woodridge. Never again will I go through woodridge unless I'm in a big group.
