Quick Diff Question

Heeno · 18-08-2005, 01:41 PM

hi all,

just a quickie, i want to change the ratio of my diff, to about the same as a ef - el, is this possible to do yourself? or how do you go about getting it done?

cheers all

So you want about 3.45 with ot without LSD

You can change the whole diff but you will have to change the handbrake setup.
the gears can be swapped but it is best to have it donr by a pro to set it up right.

yep your on the ball dellboy, well i know stuff all about LSD, but the track i hit up has alot of corners, so what would you recommend lsd or not, and no i don't like or want to drift, i go for times.
how much would it cost (guesstimate) to have done what you stated LTDHO?

cheers for your input guys

I think around 500-700 to have a 28 spline diff (i think you already have) changed to 3.45 including gears, LSD will just stop one wheel spinning by default, and probably highly recomended

did u say the track you hit up?

what track? in your ea? hahahahahaha

get a spool

the ratio of your current diff Vs an ef/el will be about the same. What you wanna do is get an ED XR diff like Dellboy has said or get some skyline gears and an lsd center put into your current diff. XR diffs go for about 600ish, to rebuild it with new LSD and skyline gears will be about 900.

I got a EB gli...think thats got gay slow diff! i was thinkin of upgrading to the 3.45 LSD or without...can ya just change the gears and u need new housing or from hub to hub or ?

Heeno · 19-08-2005, 10:48 AM

ah cool , cheers fellas, now i just gotta scab around and see how cheap i can get this stuff. would wreckers be a possibility?? or do you generally need to buy this gear new?

once again cheers for the advice

When you people say 28spline, are you saying that the axle splines on EB/EF are different??? So if i got gears from a EF sedan and put them in an EB wagon, id have to take the axles from the EF aswell? Do they all fit in?

all EBII onwards to EL axles are the same, the only difference is between ABS and non ABS.

the centers (all 4 pinion) and diff gears between those models are all the same, and are also the same as VL onwards live axle commonwhores and australian R31 skylines and pintaras, though pintaras only have a 2 pinion center.

So even with my EBII gli like 2.7 diff non ABS...i can fit the EF or EL XR 3.45 gears in there no hastles or ?

Damo · 20-08-2005, 01:42 AM

why does your EBII have a 2.7 diff ?

cominthru · 20-08-2005, 01:43 AM

dunno isnt that wat is it standard? i forget it's something like that aint it?

Damo · 20-08-2005, 01:45 AM

EBII should have a 3.27.. :S

cominthru · 20-08-2005, 01:47 AM

hahaha hmmm mayb it does had 3.27...just checkn thru the gregory's manual! so i guess the 3.45 gears are piece of **** to change into mine then!?
