As title says, what needs to be done here, like what axles, dives shaft, mounting points are used? and what new bits need to be fabricated? Its a 4.3 LSD and an '81 Corolla DX.

Ive searched the forum and cant find a thread about this

Cheers all
Adam

cut off all mounts off the std. ke70 housing and weld them on to the hilux one.
As for axles / width it depends what you want to run. Measure up the width of your's and see if it fits. If its too wide either look around for a shorter one, or get it shortened. Chances are your hilux diff will be 1430mm off a 2wd hilux. Should be ok, but the 1470mm are a little wide unless you want to run FWD offset wheels.

Er ok sweet. I jus bought a DX track car and its come with a hilux diff thats just been recon'ed and ramp angles adjusted for track. I cant be arsed putting it in, sounds hard. Who should i take it to in chch to get it done?

Shit im lazy... :lol:

depends what power you're making.
hilux diff once it's got mounts, brakes, d shaft done, is totally solid bit of gear.

do whatever you want and you won't break it.

fit the sucker.

Yea ill get it fitted. Ill be lookin at around 260hp atw, and the car will be used for both circuit, and i might try a bit of a drift day

Is your one fully locked? or LSD? i read on trademe that its lock, was it welded?

by **suberimakuri** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:47 am

locked, welded.

by **chch34** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 8:41 pm

It currently has a welded sigma turbo diff and back end. It has Skyline rear discs and Wilwood calipers. On the front it has Wilwood 4 pots and new maxima discs.

It came with hilux axle housing and axles with 5 stud hubs but no brakes. It also came with hilux drive shaft. Came with factory DX diff housing so i can use the mounts.

- how do i change it to 4 stud? Or what stud pattern it the hilus 5 stud? and if 114.3 then what 5 stud hubs should i use to make the front 5 stud?

- what brake discs should i use that will be effective, available, and easy to install?

Hmmm no I dont yet, where did you find that out? Dammit.

by **DRFTIN** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:06 am

I'd leave the current diff in there and give it hell till you break something

by **chch34** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:38 pm

Yea i think ill do that. In the mean time ill get a tune and race, and by the time it blows ill have the coin to pay a shop to do it all

by **chch34** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 6:27 pm

Yea man ill check it out. I went an spoke to Palmside Motorsport and im just gana get them to do the job once the welded one craps out or an axle breaks on the one thats in it. :lol:

Go and get a price off Petes Customs in Sandyford St.
Puts out some amazing work, and I bet he would be cheaper than Palmside

I got some work done at Petes Customs... they did a really below average job and was expensive to boot. I certainly wouldnt go there again. I am sure they do a lot of good work, just wasnt my experience.

Palmside seem to be right into the local racing seen competing in speed and club events, they have given me some good deals in the past. No harm in getting more prices though...

by **DRFTIN** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 1:22 pm

i think it depends on who you know at palmside, their prices can vary a bit
we've had good cheap work done by them
and thats the first bad thing i've heard about Pete's, he's a good guy and all the work i've seen has been pretty good
