Long Nose Lsd's To Suit R30 Skylines

[mavo]

just a quick question for those of you who may know what is the best diff for my 84 r30 and what cars can i grab one from. i have heard that subaru wrx's have r180 lsd's but do they bolt straight in and do the rear cv's have to be modified. also is there aftermarket alternatives that i can look at that mite be better suited. The cars original intention (before i bought it) was to drift and was equipped with a locker but i'm headed towards just all round tuning for daily driving and the locked diff is very frustrating if your not tryin to drive the car hard.

so yous is a r30? aka r180 diff? yes the sti subarus use a r180. normal wrx ones use a r160.( shafts/splines all differant)

unfortinatly the r180 lsd is evan more expencive than a r200 lsd. expect to pay 1500 just for the centre secondhand(rally use and fit anything nissan/datsun irs. hence the expence. ps(you will need to get it shimmed up as i stripped mine in my dr30rs. (r180 lsd)

you would be better off chasing a dr30 rs turbo rear end complete. same money but you have a r200 with bigger shafts and bigger rear brakes that use the same pads as a s15 200sx.

if you can find a late model one (84 up) comes with a 4.11 ratio not 3.9. and 14mm crownwheel bolts so all aftermarket skyline/silvia lsds bolt into the housing)

hope that helps.
