It depends on which part of the R31 diff you measure: drum-to-drum, axle tube width, or flange-to-flange
And depends on which R31 diff you measure: R31-borgwarner or R31-japan

there is a blow by blow description on here somewhere about shortening one axle and using the other on the other side. Somebody cleverer than me might be able to find the post. Probably overkill unless you have got serious horsepower though.

Definitely overkill it weighs lot ... until you get a CA18DET built up, then you need it, and it's stronger than a Hilux unit, it was the factory axle behind 5-liter V8s in USA

The Borg Warner where used here as well in Aussie v8s. The strong ones had 28 spline axles. They also had cone type LSDs witch wearnt that good. If you get 28 spline axles & eaton tru track LSD then you've got a strong Borgy
