Hello List,

Please help. I've been reading about this all day (and not getting any work
done either) and I'm even more confused than when I started.

My roadster has been "upgraded" and now has a VG30 engine and transmission
(from an '86 300zx). I'm thinking about the rear differential and wanted to
know if anyone had any recommendations for alternatives to the 1600's stock
differential.

BTW, what IS the stock differential in a '69 1600 anyway?


I'm trying to find out the following:

        - which differentials I can use?
        - what size would be optimal?
        - where to get one?

Someone had mentioned Subaru diffs??

How about an R-200? Will that fit?


Oh, in case it matters, I have:
        195/50ZR15 Bridgestone Potenza RE730 Gen. 2


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everybody!
        (Thanks for the awesome pages Gordon... and others!)
