Diff Help!!
Posted: Tue May 20, 2025 9:37 am
I need advice. I have a Datsun 1200 wagon and need to upgrade my rear axle/diff.
I have put a mildly worked A15 into my car, and the standard diff is on its last legs. I would love to be able to drop the clutch occasionally.
The best option for me would be to put an H165 from a ute in, as it is a straight swap, but I can’t find one for sale; it seems people are reluctant to let them go (which I can understand).
I am contemplating shortening a Hilux diff, which would give me the option of an LSD, but I have heard that they are heavy, and I don’t need to be pushing too much weight around.
I would appreciate any advice, or if you know of an H165 or a Borg Warner M68 that is available to purchase, please let me know. I'm happy to pick up or pay for freight if you are further away.
Cheers
Tristan
