Are Soarer & supra lsd's the same

[triptek]

Just picked up a free rear subframe from a jzz30 soarer. Are the diff's the same or can they be made to fit in a jza70. Reason why i'm so interested is that it's a TOM's racing LSD.

ones a A diff and ones a G diff , both 200 mm and everyone says the internals interchange .

i think everyone is wrong

they wont swap over

edit - PS sell me the diff & subframe

I'll get some pics today so somone can verify what it is. Importer doesn't really know for sure which car it came off. He's got a jza70 halfcut and a jzz30 halfcut. So it could be off either car.

Nah it's different to that. I'll get some pics.

They are not interchangable. The jza70 is a G series the JZZ30 is an A series None of the internals are interchangable
The first pic is a JZA70 diff the second a JZZ30 diff

And just to add my 2c, not even the centres themselves will swap over unfortunantly.
jzz30 = uzz30 = aristo = jza80 (Execpt TT AND 6spd), and nothing else fits

according to the TRD site, jza70 centres are compatible with jzx90/100

Note that only early TT 6-speed JZA80's had the larger B-series diff. I think it was 95 or 96 they switched to A-series for all models.

When the later 6spd TT's went back to an A series, did they change back the exact same housing etc as the other A series diffs?

What Im guess im asking is, is it only the B series which has those "wings" on the alloy hat of the diff? and did they still use the same 3.2 ratio when they went to the A series?

I need to ID a 6spd TT diff over the phone - whats the easiest way to tell aseries vs b series?

[madmont]

The B series was the only one to use the "wings" on the alloy cover. The B series also had a different yoke on the pinion. The later model 6 speed diff was the same ratio and I suspect it retained the different yoke peculiar to the 6 speed.

Here's mine 96.5 with A series(thanks edwagon)....

[edwagon]

Alchemist, yours IS an A series - A02B, the first A means its an A series - 200mm crownwheel, the last letter is either A for single spinner or B for torsen, so yours is an A series diff, 02 ratio, with a Torsen LSD.

the B series diffs would be something like B03B for the trans code.

Man, I wish I had that chassis tag on my car!

*EDIT* have just noticed that your's in non turbo, which is why its got the A series diff

It was only the 6spd TURBOS which had the bigger B series diff

Edwagon, thanks for pointing that out....go me, woo... *hides*

It's is a nice trans combo though....

Well I've always been learning from Toymods and just as you think you can post something intelligent, it turns out you are totally wrong...oh dear...heheh
