Shortening F series diff! - Where...how much?

[77GZE]

i meant to a 4 stud, or converting front to a matching 5 stud!!!

[LeeRoy]

care to explain

The spline length is about 40mm after which it tapers down, before flaring back up to the size that continues the rest of the length of the axle. Due to this, the area where it is tapered down cannot be resplined making it an unusable part of the axle (when talking about shortening/resplining), so you either shorten by less than 30mm or shorten by more than 60mm.

Might i add that shortening 30mm is the minimum for each axle so if you want equal length axles then double the measurements i quoted. My ms112 diff has been shortened on one side to 1360 (standard t series size).

Well a hilux 5 sud read would be preferable for rims at the rear, for the front you'd need mx65 huubs and then you'd be sorted

ovlov diff.....was reading a thread on it just yesterday on this wonderful temple of knowledge. pretty sure it said something about jeep using the dana diffs, and after market lockers/lsd where easily sourced from 4wd stores.....just a thought.

[EVOSTi]

yeah but who wants dirty swedish parts in their car?

[77GZE]

ovlov diff is still 1400 long!!!
i want DISH!
hence this whole scenario...

[EVOSTi]

i like the cut of your jib.
i still vote G series.

[77GZE]

jib?? me no speeka de english

Shortening diffs is very expensive... last time i got a quote, they were talking ~$1.5k.
Most of the cost was from the resplining and heat treating the axles.

[77GZE]

yep! same here quoted yesterday

[77GZE]

SPENT ALL DAY CALLING WRECKERS - searched quokka, everything...
Cant find any RN2x diffs, other than 1 and he wants a grand firm for it.

But...i did however get a set of ms65 hubs
cheap cheap

So you'd take dirty swedish girls in your bed, but not a vulva diff in your car?

Shame on you!

An idea i heard mentioned a while ago was to use a RN4x diff, and then use a KE70 engine xmember, rack & RCA's.
Both then shift out the track by the same amount.

[LeeRoy]

If it does have a 1jz behind it then a g series is probably a better option since 1jz rolla is starting to twist axles behind his 1jz.

Since you want dish then an f series could be shortened evenly to make it 1300 and should provide a nice amount of room for some -offset rims.

[77GZE]

This is correct...let me be more specific...
already running KE70 front member and steering, and with increased track on the front, i currently have an F series 1410mm diff....
THE SAME as an rn4x diff length...
and i have clearance issues with 205 tires and a little bit of dish
i want a stronger diff anyway, for the 1j
soo...i want possibly the G series 1370mm with some large rims with big dish, to equal th front track....
