i have been doin some research and ive heard that lux diffs are good because they are small and light, ill be usin a 32spline axle in it as ill be racin alot and intend on doin some powerskid comps is a hilux diff the best option for a 1200 ute if so what year model hilux diff or do u suggest different diffs,

stock diff?

Do what Ben Bray has done. If you have a spare $10K!

hilux is 30 spline and tough as.
has 8" ring gear.
lots of good ratios.
lots of lsd and lockers avail.

BUT if you want it close to std datto 1200 width you run into the problem that the axles neck down after the spline.
right where you want to cut the new spline.
if your taking more than approx 80mm per side (small tubs or v deep offset wheels) your back into the fat bit
i am about to do one and im considering using ford ends on the lux housing and resplining some 9" axles
borg warner 78 (skyline commo ford etc.)is probably easier but i want a drop out center so i can have a spare pumpkin with different gears in it.

pm me if you go ahead and let me know how you went

im with tyrie, stock diff shouldnt be to bothered by an auto non turbo CA

worry about big diff when the turbo goes on
