[6pack] Nissan Differential conversion

[Mitch]

Hey Mike,
Did the conversion a little over two years ago & in my opinion it's the 
only way to go. The cost of rebuilding an original TR differential is so 
close to the conversion it's a no brainer. Plus, you get an LSD. It is a 
direct bolt in with a Toyota 5-speed or TR trany. It is super quiet & 
strong. No more work than install ing the original. The toughest part is 
the diff to driveshaft bolts. These are a little deeper into the T-shirt 
than original but do-able.


Herman recommends welding the driveshaft to eliminate the slide when 
using the Toyota trans. I have not done this & have had no problems. His 
fear is that the driveshaft can extend, pushing the thicker part of the 
flange deeper in to the trany output seal & loose the fluid. If I ever 
have a reason to pull the driveshaft I'll do it for insurance but I 
don't see it happening.
