megamannz123 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Any info on the going rate for a complete TA22 open rear end? Is $500 a good price? I have found one that I might mod to fit the KE30 and buy a Kaaz Zenki LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Has it been rebuilt? You could probably buy a wreckable TA22 for $500.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I would think $100 would be closer to what it's worth. And good luck hunting down a zenki LSD, took me ages :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamannz123 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Cheers, a guy off Gumtree wants $600 delivered from NSW to Melbourne, its not rebuilt, so that's too expensive then! You guys know of anyone that has one?. There a couple of web sites I found selling Zenki LSD's new $770-$950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah the aftermarket t series lsds are cheap new in zenki and kouki... Check there could be 2 types of ta22 diffs, a d series and a t series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamannz123 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Which one am I after? is one better than the other? I think its the earlier small axle one I want, but not sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springersrolla Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 For that price I would be shortening a r31 8 3/4" can get drum or disc rear. Mini spools are about $100 on ebay. Easily get the diff/shortened/spool for 600. Also early hilux rn41??? Are close to corolla width I'm pretty sure. I wouldnt bother with ta22 youd still have to weld leaf perches and play around with it. Prety sure some older vans fit and are an upgrade also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamannz123 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Great, thanks for the tip. Something like this? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121533559515 My only concern is keeping the stud pattern and 13inch wheels I have. Can my hubs be welded onto the skyline shafts? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I haven't done a rear end swap before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamannz123 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe I should just weld my diff? Or would that be a disaster on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springersrolla Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 R31 is 4x114.3 same as corolla. Keep same studpattern. Can upgrade to discs or get lucky and find one as is. Much more useable diff gears to find for cheap. I still think 300 for that diff is up there. See if u can find someone wrecking a pintara/skyline locally. If you rip your diff out just copy the leaf perches whencits shortened. Id just run with stock diff. I sourced a ke38 auto diff and didnt seem to be as loud/whinging as my original and 4.3 gears.same goes. Maybe find a cheap auto diff and keep it as a spare. I think there reasonably strong treated right. I give mine abuse and hasnt had dramas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I would think $100 would be closer to what it's worth. Yep- bought a T-series from the local wreecker for exactly that much. Came out of an RA60. Maybe I should just weld my diff? Or would that be a disaster on the road? Rian is right... disaster waiting to happen. R31 is 4x114.3 same as corolla. Keep same stud pattern Yep, but wheel stud thread pitch is different so the Toyota wheel nuts won't fit. Studs can be swapped over. Your hardest thing is finding a low enough diff ratio. Bigger cars (1.6L and over) use 3.7 and 3.9 and ratios like that. A 4K needs 4.1 or 4.3 to feel like it is going somewhere. I've tried 3.9, 4.1 and 4.3 in the KE70s, and then played with tyre sizes to get what I want... low 4.3 around town, higher 3.9 or 4.0 for trips. Find a 4.1 T-series in a Celica and run 175/60series 13" tyres at one ned, 175/70s at the other. Swap front to rear for trips or around town. We have just ponied up $1500 for a OS Giken LSD to go into the KE70 rally car, in the same T-series housing we had on the Celica. There is no dodging the high price of LSDs.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah new lsds are a bit easier to find, I'm a tight ass though and waited for cheap 2nd hand. 2nd hand ones are few and far between unless you get them from OS. I managed to find a low k KAAZ 2way for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 $50 - $100 tops. They have small axles so you use a zenki diff centre. You can pick up diff centres cheap on yahoo obviously taking a punt on condition. Absolutely do not weld it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo2 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Which one am I after? is one better than the other? I think its the earlier small axle one I want, but not sure? T-series. Axels and housings interchange but you wont find lsd for a D series Ta 22 diff will save you cost and hazzle of shortening so worth a bit more than the others mentioned in my opinion. Youll also need rear part of driveshaft to suit whatever diff youre getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
