Thread: what diffs to handle 36's and 400+ hp!!!!!

for big HP in a comp truck I wouldn't bother with rover diffs and axles. It's not a matter of if but when.
use the entire disc to disc housings from a cough GU cough and get the benefit of bigger better brakes as well.

Hi ye thats what i'm think nissan is the way to go has anyone done this? And also what gear box go the whole hog and bolt a nissan manual on aswell?

Patrol 5 speed gearbox into Land Rover transfer case. Then Patrol front diff and 80 Series LandCruiser rear diff (correct offset to keep propshaft straight).

Why dont you go all the way and put in volvo 303 portals

the nissan box will keep your drive shaft aligned with the diff. Otherwise as said above the 80 series rear diff has the pumpkin in a better spot but I think it would be easier to to run gu from front to rear.
A few people have done this type of conversion before. Maggott4x4 had nissan front and rear diffs then changed to a yota rear because of vibration at speed. Kermit went the whole way and had nissan front to rear. I think Matt Fenner had nissan running in an old comp rangie many years ago as well. I'm sure there are plenty of others who have made the mod.

Go the sals diff front and back , Strong as and still rover , I know a guy (hey matt) thats running sals diffs with a cammed up mafless tuned Ls1 on 37,s , He just did cliffhanger and got 4th outright with no breakages except for a fuel pump

a little bit off topic but surely a yella terra supercharger would be better then waiting for the t3 to come on boost? just a thought.

Id be going GU's all round. The big reason for me is you know there will be at least 1000000 people at the comps running them and there is always going to be spare hubs/cv's around to beg borrow and steal.

Portals count you out of many of the big comps to so thats worth noting.

Im a fan of autos too. It just depends on what comps you are wanting to use if for really.

gq or gu diffs with nissan transfer with a turbo 350 or 400 for comps or a 4l80e for more high speed stuff thats what i want any way when i win lotto ha ha nice looking rig too
