I'm after some info on GQ and GU diff. A mate has done a engine swap, removing the 2.8 from his 98 GU wagon and replaced it with a 4.2Turbo from a 89 shorty. Questions 1. what are the respective diff ratios. 2. if different (and i assume they are) can the centers be swapped. 3. If not can the hole ...

Is the engineering a Vic thing because when I did my Cruiser I just made 2'' poly blocks and replaced with grade 8 bolts? Take to transport dep put over the pit, as long as they are poly or steel, grade 8 bolts, test the brakes on the roller and check the lights and that’s it. They give you a form t ...

Thanks lokka ill give it a go next time.

Slunnie, no one's opinion is a waste of time?

Bruce

LC60 diff sits at the same height with 31's as a Rover does on 29's. The LC60 diff and axle housing is larger. Slunnie You missing the point i know they are a bigger housing and there for will be closer to the ground, but it's nothing to get wrapped around the axles about (pardon the pun), if you ...

I am doing the center swap a i got a 80ser Elocker for stuff all, and a Lux rear for $150. Why is everyone so concerned about the clearance of the diff, i bet all the cruiser owners don't think there diffs are to low!!! And as for having to run bigger tyres, a 60ser diff with 31'' tyres sits the ...

Thanks, ill take you up on the offer when the time is right.
No guesswork then.

Bruce

thanks for that ill give it a go.

no one has anything in the way of a template for the holes?

Bruce

Sorry i an also the specs for the holes in the housing if someone has them

I am doing a toy diff swap I'm my Ser 1 disco, 80 Ser Elocker in the front and Hilux in the back.
Question , i have a 2 pinion open 4.1 center, and a 4 pinion lsd 4.556 rear.
can i make one out two, IE 4.1 gears in the 4.556 center.
Any help would be great.

Bruce

I will split freight with someone to get a set, I'm in Mackay QLD. the more we buy the cheaper it will be Req 50mm set

I am looking at the 2wd kit for my D1, after putting one in my 80 Ser in 2002 and found it to be the best mod I’ve done. All pros and no cons, the back lash was the biggest issue and it fixed it just fine. Felt funny the first few days but after that I could not tell the difference. Makes me laugh e ...

Thanks thats the one i ment.

Bruce

Can someone tell me where I can get a spare tyre spacer from, found one on the net a while back but can’t find it again? It was alloy and spaced it up a few inches.

Bruce

LRA have them new

Bruce

Thank guys I have found a 4.1 from a hilux 8/88 on they are all 4.1 or 4.3.
I found a post on another forum that tells you how to work out the diff/ axel code in Toyotas so there is no mucking around.

Bruce

Thanks for that, sounds easy enough.
As I said I have a 4.1 to1 / 80 ser for the front if I can’t get a 4.1 for the back is 4.11 close enough not to matter or will it still wind up.

I there a easy way to line up the centers in the housings.

Do any of the holes line up to make it simple (can only hope)? Or just put the center in with the axels and hope I get it in the right spot? any help would be nice like how did you re-attach the steering dampener.

Bruce

I( have found a 80ser Sahara 4.1 diff canter with a factory diff lock for my D1 to go with the Hilux rear, has anyone used one of these before. I have not seen the center yet and do not know what side the motor is on, or how big it is(they are electric). Because if it flows on the sump it will be no ...

I have had all three and the all have pros and cons. If you have a ball and chain and a few rug rats the Nissan or Cruiser are much more suited to that as for size. I have a D1 now and I had to put draws in the back, because once the fridge went in there was no room left in the back! As far as parts ...

[/quote]toy centres to rover axle housing. aquire 2 centres. drill Rover housing to suit toy centre. (I have a Jig used by a few melb guys) Front: bore out swivel housing to suit new axles. fit new toy cv/bush to rover spinal and bore sindal to suit new axles. machine pinion flange on toy centre to ...

I have done a conversion on a 80Ser with full time 4WD and it was the best thing I had done to it.

More power
Better fuel economy
Donuts in the mud!!!
No back lash
Lighter steering
Less wear and tear
What more do you need to know!

what about the width of the different housings, hub to hub for track reasons.

What about the 60 Ser as these diffs will be cheaper and can get from the one vehicle

I have a 200TDI, also looking at the GQ front and 80ser rear diff swap. Can anyone suggest a good ratio to run 32/33in tires and what model they come from to get the Cruiser and the Nissan diff to match?

Bruce

I have a 200 and want to do the same thing, as there is next to no room in the engine bay and no spear pulley I thought about mounting it next to the existing AC unit putting on a longer belt and run them in tandem. If I want to use he air ill just turn of the AC.

Bruce

Thanks for that but what's the deal with the seatbelts?

Bruce

Hi guys Looking at doing a lift on my Ser 1 Disco. Have done a search and found a few things but nothing in to much detail. Have done several lifts in the past on Toyota's and Nissans but the rover look a bit more complex. Was looking at the LRA kit but it is 2 & 1/2 inch and in QLD you can only go ...

thanks for that ill give it a try
