    One down, One to go

    Ok, the new front diff is in the rangie. The 80 series diff took a bit more work than the GQ diff but it should be worth it in the end. I will post some pics in the next few days (forgot my camera DOH).

    This time, rather than use the Toyota stuff, we have kept all the rover stuff execpt fot the housing / stubs / centre.

    You would be hard pressed to tell it apart from a rover diff until you see the stud patern and the FWH's. Even used the Rover control arms so I can get some slotted bushes for it. They did cause a slight problem in so much as to get the caster and pinion angle correct, the rear drag link wanted to go through the middle of the control arm. This was fixed by cranking the control arms. It is now spot on.

    All that is left to do is get some 16" Rims and tyres and the front is done. On to the back diff.

    Because you get sick of breaking the ****house rover parts, so why not build it the way rover should have.

    I just prefer to get better off the shelf parts than get ****ed in the arse on prices by specialist "Rover" aftermarket suppliers.

    And why follow convention?

    Hey Maggot,

    I would have thought that Nissan diffs were stronger than Tojo units?


    Why the swap from the GQ diffs you did not that long ago?

    A few reasons, I got sick of the vibration from the rear diff due to the offset on the rear housing. I found a set of 80 series diffs with airlockers at the right price, I prefer full floaters in a vehicle you are going a long way from anywhere in, and I wanted the GQ diffs for my other rangie comp truck.
