Whats a C330?
a 230, and 330 series 240/260C diff should work. (I think the axles are the same spline)
But a C33 Laurel diff will be chalk and cheese.

:agree:

Im pretty sure the C330's are the pillared 260c sedan and the 331 is the hardtop.

Wrong!

Mine's H330, Chris's Gloria hardtop was a C331 and I'm pretty sure John's Cedric hardtop was a H332? Could have been C332.

So whats a C330 - my hardtop 231 laurel was KHC231.

Would C330 be a pillared Cedric sedan rather than a H330 260C sedan (some pillared ones came with cedric on the rear taillight garnish instead of Datsun.

Anyway - could you put up a pic of the car its out of to resolve the issue of what car its out of?? lol

Perhaps C= Gloria, H= Cedric?

Pure speculation of course.

SOrry to high Jack your thread haha,

If you can get the whole diff it may bolt in if the splines are wrong.

They are both H190 so the only thing to check will be the splines on the axles match up lol

just make sure it's a solid rear axle, and not a c33 diff.
