The standard diff will be fine.  Well, it will be strong enough.  The viscous LSD part of it will be sucky if you add much power.  Any other LSD option that will fit the car will also do the job.  Keep in mind that as an S chassis, you have 3x2 bolt flanges on your diff/axles.  So you want to stick with S chassis diffs.

My setup is similar s13 with rb25 with just under 400hp, we orginally fitted a complete r33 rear end for the brakes and more strenght but the viscous lsd was still poor as the car does a lot of circuit work (not drifting)
Recently fitted a 1.5 nismo pro diff and it completely changed the car for the better.
For example before the 1.5 way it would spin in 2nd on accleration, now it has no wheel spin.
The first track day it went 1.6 seconds faster a lap with no other changes.
Do yourself a favour and buy a proper lsd

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
