nissan rear diff conversion?
I was wondering if there was a way to swap a nissan rear diff into a GC. If so is it a direct fit or is some mods needed.

Thanks Chris

why would you want a nissan rear diff in a subaru? do you think a rwd diff would make a difference in making your car rwd?

this thraed is all pot smoking..


anyway, u dont need to swap the rear diff to have rwd. what u need to do is open the tranny, weld the center diff, and remove the front axles but u have to leave the outer splines in the hubs.

no the car is already rwd and my friend has been driving it for a couple of weeks now. if you read the new sport compact car mag it will tell you how it is done. the reason we are looking at the possibility of a nissan rear diff is we are wondering if it is stronger. and before you say anything else this car is just a summer playtoy his wrx is his everyday driver/ winter car. Please someone who knows what they are talking about respond!

Are you wanting to swap the whole diff or just the actuall LSD?Does the bolt pattern match on the shafts to the nissan LSD. What nissan Diff are you looking at? You got a couple good choices between the 300z, J30, HICAS 240 etc.... What is the bolt pattern on the GC shafts?

my friend has a 240sx and it has a r180 which is the sti rear but if you find one they are viscous and not as good as a clutch or gear type which is what you want

does anyone know if they used r160 rears?

There are lots of high quality rear diffs made for our cars.

Cusco, OS Giken, Ogura, Kaaz, etc...

not really sure what exactly we are looking for. just wondering which is stronger. if a subaru diff is strong enough then we'll just stick with that

he blew out his diff but i think it was just because there is 130k on the car. it shredded the teeth off of the inner gear.

like i said ealier the car is a play toy. have you ever tried drifting an awd on dry pavement, its not as easy as a rwd. not to mention he now has the bad *** looks of a subura plus the fun of a rwd.
