benhachi Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hey guys, basically have the engine and gearbox ready to go just searching for a diff.. I was looking at a T series but for $1750 with disc brakes I think ill shop around first.. I have a ke30 diff here in good condition but I'm unsure it will be strong enough for the Gze. Any opinions? I also want to get whichever diff I go with shortened for my deep offset wheels. Cheers guys kinda hit a wall on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 What are you going to use it for and how will it be driven.......... A mate killed a 9" diff in his Falcon while a relative made an Opel 4 speed and HR diff outlast 3 worked 202's (the last one was a serious motor) in his FX.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 If you're gonna modify one then the good old trusty Hilux would be a good option. Or R31. Hilux would be pretty heavy for the car though maybe. TA22 T series maybe. Depends if disc brakes is a must I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhachi Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 It's just gonna be used as a weekend driver, want to keep 4x 114.3 for wheels and disk or drum doesn't matter, Has ae86 discs on the front. I never do burnouts or launches, just open the accelerator on straight roads really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 T series should be sweet then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhachi Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I found a guy that does race car engineering just down the road from me. Asked him about IRS and he said he's done it before to a ke25 rally car and the price wasn't that much more expensive than the T series so go figure lol. Searching for a S13 whole rear setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 And you can get that engineered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 honestly i think the final bill for irs will be a whole lot more than your thinking. make sure you get a written price before you go too far. i think the old mans shop cost around the $550 mark to shorten an r31 housing to suit ke25, shortened axle included. diff supplied by customer, mounts not included from memory, prob another $100. thats a pretty bulletproof option.

benhachi Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 He said the total bill with everything would be around the $5000. Aussie diff shop quoted me $3000+ to get a diff shortened to the length I want, axles shortened and re splined and leaf brackets put on. It is alot of money there but I guess I can see the value in it as it's a car I want to hold onto - already had it for almost 5 years. Found a 180sx rolling shell that I can use for $600 so there's a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
