My post says hilux diff nothing about borgwarner.so no not maddat

You will need the largest of the Hilux diffs. The smaller Hilux won't be strong enough I think.

I will be using a g-series diff which is an 8"

Sounds good. Hilux diffs have many readily available new or used ratios, and relatively inexpensive LSD units. The Nissan H233 (9.2") has less expensive LSD, but not as wide a selection of ratios.

Did you want information on building/rebuilding it, or just on the shortening? Or something like how to add disc brakes?

* Shorten the axle tubes and weld them
* Get new custom-length axles ($800/pair)
* Drill the axles for the desired wheel bolt pattern
* new bearings for the new axles
* Cut and reweld (or add) spring plates

Thanks dd yeah that's another reason I went hilux lots of ratios.im going to use 4.3 and see how they go to start with.was mainly looking at some tips on shortening the housing.i will get my machine shop to make some shorter billet axles.i was going to use the drums but now been thinking about changeing them to disk.is there much involved in this dd? I do already have some r31 calipers here I can use.thanks

Yep thaught about it I will be doing disk brakes.any one know the exact parts I will need? I already have r31 calipers and my wheels are ford 5 stud

U will need a set of calipers brackets to suit r31 brakes with hilux ends and axles and a set of r31 rotors drilled to ford 5 stud. The best rotors to source are ibs brand as the do not have cut out on the front that states the rotor rhickness otherwise one of ur atuds will be drilled through the thinner part of the rotor. I have caliper mount and spacer in stock.

Ok mate sweet.i have the r31 calipers and getting billet axles made but I have got hubs eather.howmuch are you brackets mate? I will look into those rotors can you get them slotted to matchup front slotted rotors?
