The factory ute diff (assuming its still there, they quite often get robbed to put in sedans or coupes) is an H165. Nismo do a H165 LSD but are rare and expensive, There is a guy in oz who makes a torsen LSD for a bit cheaper or people make AE86 LSDs fit
By all accounts they are pretty strong, people in oz run them behind ca18dets for road cars and Damon runs a decent a15 with a h165 and Torsen LSD and he absolutely beat on that thing ALL the time haha

The H165 isn't unbreakable. But I've run the torque of a supercharged A15 through mine for a good while now. And it's not yet let go. I drove up to the north island last may, and did a gymkhana (And let dirty leppa enter in my car too) without fear of it going BANG!!!!! (But the noise from a flat spotted tyre did have me shitting bricks)
And there are still plenty of spare heads kicking around for when it does finally give up. And hey, the odd broken drive train component is just par for the couse really.

The easy struts to use with the S13 conversion are 1200 car or coupe ones. Or 120Y (b210) wagon coupe, or sedan.
With those, the conversion is almost bolt together.
I don't doubt for a second that they could be made to work on other struts, but those are the ones I'm familair with.

Looking forward to seeing them all bolted on.
