I am going to do my own hilux diff modification i have two 4.3 centres & one 4.88 centre the only thing is getting the axles made. if i can get out of it for about 500 bucks i will be happy. I any body wants to buy a 4.3 hilux diff with a brand new crown wheel & pinion i have one for sale fulley recoed never been in a car. PM me for more info. Oh it is a singal spinner

i got a quote from the guy that welds all my intake manifolds, as this is what he does for a living, and also roll cages, rear clips, tubs, coilovers etc, $1200 installed for a hilux diff cut down with custom axles.

that $3,000 sounds a bit pricey to say the least. maybe with billet axles and ratios $2,000 installed.

$75 per side. and that ratio will not be fun to drive at speed with. i have a 4.11 hilux LSD in mine and she sings fairly high on the freeway at 100. i haven't got a tacho on her atm but i reckon i'm revin at about 3200 in fifth at 100kmph.

as for the mini spool, they are a cool thing to have but when it rains and the CA just decides to boost, goodbye traction and forward driving. it'll fishtail like there's no tommorow. also takes a lot out of your turning circle (unless you arc up the tyres ).

unless you get it at a real good price, i'd leave it alone (sounds like its worth a heap). but i guess you can always get a different centre... how much, ballpark figure, are you lookin at?

i guess i no the right people.

Come on dude this diff has never been used go get a qoute for a cut down hilux diff with billet axles and a full spool.
then make an offer.
By the way you will be qouted over $3000

Hey nis15l I'll give ya $500 for the diff and a carton of beer

Matt

He chuck them out o shi*t does he no wat there worth.
O well dude thanks for trying.

You can use the same spool mate but it it was me id try to find a limo center and change it over.Most off my mates have had spools in there cars and are now changing back to lsd's cause there too hairy in the wet or if you have a bit off power.I asked my mate bout that axel last night and he reckond his boss chucked them both out!!.Im f####n spewing

thanks guys the only other bad thing with this diff is that i believe it has very high ratios as it was in a 1200 set up for drag racing.
If i was to find a center with better ratios would i need a new spool or can i use the same 1.
I pretty sure the ratio at the moment is 5:3.
Cheers luke

$75 a side should do it. Spool and locker both do the same think; lock the axles together.
