Will a 1200ute diff fit in a 1000 with no housing mods??
The spring mounts are different widths apart.
The Torsen style diffs were used by Nissan in their mid 80's works cars (240RS) for half a season, but they found two main problems with them :
1. The "liquorice" cross gears wore out quickly
and
2. When power was applied quickly the diff tended to lock and make the car understeer.
The Torsens were also fitted X factory to the R33 GTR's but they changed back to a clutch pack system after problems. There is a Nismo replacement for them using a clutch pack type.
This doesnt mean they are bad, just that they require a different driving style and for you to be aware this can happen.
In a normal street driving application or where a locking action does not matter to your driving style they are a good "and a lot cheaper" alternative to clutch pack LSD's.
I am interested in one for my stanza coupe project if the order gets to the required size.
Top gear, I assume you work at PPG or similar?

Use the later carrier from a Series 1 bluebird or late datto 1200 ute for the best example of an H165B carrier.
