The Toyota Axle Database

[Norbie]

Following on from the Toyota diff thread created by brett_celicacoupe, I thought it would be nice to have a searchable online database of Toyota diffs and their specs which can be easily updated dynamically. So, being the giant nerd I am, I went ahead and built one.

The Toyota Axle Database

Note this is version 0.1, so don't laugh at its quickly-slapped-together appearance! Comments and suggestions for additions/improvements gratefully accepted.

Oh yeah, I've only added data for the Celica and Supra, the rest needs to be filled in by those in the know. You need a login account to add/edit data, so if you want to volunteer your services let me know and I'll create an account for you.

is a great software tool norbie - rep points+

suggestion: could you include a field that has a URL to an image(s) of the diffs?

Some of the RA65's (at least mine) in the US came with 4 wheel disk brakes.

Easy. I'll add that to the list for version 0.2.

some guy emailed me with a few changes so i might foward it to you. the changes are in red and blue.


i can supply pictures of some diffs, including RT142, MA61 LSD centre, T series from RA40, MX13 mkII corona, MX83 LSD centre and RN25 hilux - maybe even a JZA70 torsen.

holy crap - i have too many diffs

i will try to email you the word file with the updates and othe rstuff

[Norbie]

Sweet as, thanks man.

[brett_celicacoupe]

i might also suggest just leaving the ratio codes in the ratio column instead of actually writing it in there. seems to be a little messy

ie. just write 292 instead of 4.1:1 ratio, open centre, 2 pinion.

then let the user refer to a table with all the ratios, like what i had in the word file i sent you.

but, if you are really tricky , you could make the code a URL that goes to a page which says all that stuff

gimmie login.

oh and I'm not sure how he is doing it exactly brett, but he is using ASP and can created the ratio data etc from a look up table in his database in real time, so its not like it is a lot of work for him to put it there, he is pretty well just doing what a person would do manually automatically

Cheers

[Norbie]

Yup, I have all the ratio codes in a lookup table, so it's not like I'm actually typing in all that info for every record, you just put in "T292" and it figures out the rest for itself.

Wilbo you have PM.

[brett_celicacoupe]

i s'pose i might get one as well

- please

[Norbie]

OK boys and girls, version 0.2 is online now! I've added a few enhancements including the ability to link an image as requested by thechuckster. I also got busy populating the database with info kindly provided by brett_celicacoupe, so it's fairly up to date. However, this tool is only as useful as the data contained in it, and there's a lot of stuff missing (eg only 2 entries for Hilux diffs), so if you have any changes or additions please post them here. Alternatively you can PM myself or anyone else with edit permissions (currently Witzl, Wilbo666 and brett_celicacoupe).

Oh and I also put together a handy little Axle Code Translator tool, just in case you're wondering what that code on your build plate actually means.

[Negative Boost]

Wow, thats awsome. Its so easy to use and all the infomation is right there! Helped me find out where i can source a diff to lower my final ratio, Cheers. This should be put into the FAQ me thinks.

[brett_celicacoupe]

compliments to that diff code converter thing

[cooter]

just to let you know te71s have disk brake not drum t series with 4.1 not 3.9 final drive. same specs as zenki ae86 t series. and the gt apex ones came stock with lsd. dumps apex te71 has lsd stock.
cheers

[Norbie]

OK, is TE71 the JDM model? And TE72 is the Aus-delivered model? Because I know the local ones are drum brake and no LSD.
