haha youd be laughing then, get a $90 spool while you save for the lsd then

actually i think it only ended up costing me around $200, would be more like $400 if i got an LSD....but i didnt

sikdatto1200s right about how to do it yourself, but getting the axle tubes in and out is kinda hard...need a fairly good hydrulic press that will actually fit inside the diff, then a press that is big enough to fit the diff in it and capable of pressing around 20 tonne

dad just hapened to have this stuff so it was rather easy for me, only payed to buy the diff gears($30), got the diff for free, $110 for one axle cut down, $30 caliper kits and $20 paint

Im not exactly sure but i think both axle tubes are removed and shotened/rewelded, the short axle becomes the long one and the long one needs shortening and resplining. Mounts need to be cut off and weld on 1200 ones in correct position. I guess brake lines and handbrake cables would also need sorting out. Doing the mounts yourself would save a fair whack of dosh no doubt

What can you do yourself? What's involved?

approx $1000 but if you can do a lot yourself heaps cheaper, i think pigdogs cost him around $450

How bout a diff to handle a CA (150-200rwkw)? I was gonna get a r31 diff cut down.
Does any one have a idea of what the cost is to get a diff shortened?

Quote:The H165 differential that you will find under most 1200 Utes was used in the Datsun 1600, 180B, & early 200B wagons. All of these weighed more than a 1200 & all had L series engines.
Additionally, H165's were used under the series 1 & 2 Aussie Bluebirds except 4 speed wagons, so, .... what was the question again?

yer just went and had a look under mums 120y and its not a borg warner hasnt got the case on back that unbolts .if i do this conversion ill do it in a 1200 coz their lighter power to weight ratio hehe oh and better looking ahah

thanks again mate lots of help

Jake

no worries, basically a straight bolt in, you need the 120y u bolts and bottom brackets. Tailshaft flange may be different to not sure on that one. The borgwarner ones have a cover on the back of diff that unbolts, think there from aust 120y sedans

thanks mate big help

cheers Jake
