AE71 high on LSD

[blacktop]

Hay just want to know what the best way of getting a good lsd for a poxy AE71, do i just look for a T18 diff or can i go after market (i.e. KAAZ ect.) Any help?

[Robbos_Toyotas]

Id either go for an F series out of a MK2 Corona or a crown, or a better idea is a G series big diff out of a hilux or hiace.

[mrshin]

Hilux. Then fit an engine that might have a chance of breaking it.

[slide86]

if you want quick and easy then go for a T series and fit a LSD to that. otherwise the G series is the go, but requires more work to make it fit

[Norbie]

F series or G series are unnecessary hassle and expense if the car doesn't need a diff that big. If it still has an atmo 4-banger the T series should be adequate. Swap in a T18 rear end, grab one of the many aftermarket LSD centres, install and enjoy.

so a T18 diff is the go, do i have to make any mods to anything to make it fit or is it just a bolt up job (hahaha there's no such thing as a bolt up job! I crack me up.) and where in melbourne can i find one, i did a quick ring around and there as rare as rocking horse shit

[joe90]

Centre road self serve in springvale had a couple of t-18's with diffs the other week.try and get the later one with the sway bar mounts as it is a bolt in job,otherwise weld (or get welded) the sway bar mounts off your old diff on the newy .ra40 diff is a goer as well but same with the sway mounts and the panhard rod mount is diferent posy as well so an adjustable rod is a goer there.If you have to weld then get a tercel sway bar while your there as the posy is a tad different but a cool cheap upgrade.have fun.

cheers joe

thanks for the help, i already have whiteline sway bars, it ads a bit of fun going in to corners at high speed with a poxy VN rustydoor behind me (he has to get a new rim cos the gutter wasnt very forgiving)

[blacktop]

i have found some t18 rear end's but they seem expensive. can someone give me an idea of what i should be paying for the T,F and G series rear ends

[anastasios]

should be about 300 bucks for a t-18 thats the goin rate

[suss_slide]

when you say find a T series diff and make it a LSD do u mean find a centre bit for it or weld it locked?

[Grega]

t18 diff with no LSD should set you back $100.

Has any one tried to fit a tarago Y22 F diff to AE71 / KE70?
was looking at this option on my KE which will have 3SGE fittied.
Have price a diff housing for $100 open center then about $400 for supra LSD.
