    Default 7.5" F series diff strength?

    car is an IS200 with VVTI 1JZGTE + highstall & shift kitted auto.

    currently making 236rwkw, (highmount T04z only 15psi + normal hot/cold plumbing)

    i have a spare IS200 diff and shafts, & JZX100 8" 3.9 open centre diff and shafts. i have been driving it for 4 months, no noises or concern has a tendancy to destroy tyres when comes on boost in 1st/shifts 2nd..

    i want to run it down the 1/4 soon but won't have a chance to put the chaser rear end in - am i running the F series on borrowed time? obviously this is a how long is a piece of string question, but am i just stetting my self up for a disappointing night in the cold several hours away from home trying to get under the car to replace the diff at the track or tow it home..

    It will be fine, mine hasn't blown up and there was a MA61 at dubbo running massive slicks and a auto that launched hard and didn't break anything

    excellent, being auto and not a ham fisted idiot drifting i didn't think it would blow with only just over 300rwhp..

    the diff might be strong enough - but i managed to shatter the inner pass side CV....

    seems that the stage 1.5 shift kit (aka axle snapping shift kit) was pretty much exactly right...

    mind you i am running the 4 bolt ones (4x110mm to be exact..) lucky i have a whole other IS200 setup to go into it - which is another 4 bolt arrangement, but 4x115mm so i had to swap the output shafts also, diff was fine and remained in the car, so essentially was only an hour's job, although made for an interesting drive home...
