What chassis are you using? The 210 model name is the US designation for the B310/Sunny [1978 to '82] & in many markets [including Aust] they came with the A12 engine in non wagon models, however you say that the trans is from a B310, making it a late [conventional shift] 60 series item.

Are you asking about the differential, or the rear axle assembly?
Are you running a racer, or a street car?

I was reading in a magazine (yeah I know. I Can read) that turbo cars prefer highway style gears 3.23:1 or 3.5:1 as when the turbo spools up in lighter cars the wheels tend to spin too easy. Unless of course thats what you want. Using highway style ratios tends to make more use of the boosted power.

I would say with an a12 turbo you wouldnt have to worry a whole lot about excessive wheelspin as it spools up. I doubt he'll be street racing with 155R12 tyres. I would want something in the 4.5:1 range.

I am thinking turbo car needs taller ratio, 3.9 maybe, those turbo cars spin the wheels in all gears they dont need a low ratio diff.

Its hard to know without knowing what cars with bigger diffs are common where you are.
Without this information all you can do is look for cars with about the same width rear, that have bigger diffs and appropriate ratios, then make one fit.

If you can find a 1200 ute, it has a bigger diff, 4.1 ratio and will go in easily.
