diff interchangeablity in surf

[snork]

can early 90's surf diffs be used in a 1995 surf
Both are 130 series and both are ifs
Im really after the rear diff , but unsure of ratio, so might have to change both from the doner surf

ln130s are interchangable ratio may be different but by swapping crown wheel will solve it

Would need to swap the pinion as well.

If you have got both vehicles check what the axle code is on the ID plate on the fire wall in the engine bay. If its the same then should be all good, don't worry abut the last number, if it is 2 then 2 spider, if a 4 then 4 spider and if a 5 the LSD.

tim,

i finally got round to fitting that lock-rite i got from you.
turns out someone had changed the rear to LSD
fire wall tag says it should have been open!, now not sure even what ratio it is

but thanks for the info, will check other surf to see what thats running
