80 series diffs verses GU diffs

[Madaz]

Does anyone know if 80 series front diffs can turn a tighter steering lock, than say a 70 series or a hilux diff?

And if so how do they compare to a gu nissan diff?

Cheers for that, standard toyota aisin freewheeling hubs fit them as well?
Is that correct??

Yep, well the early 80 series. The later ones have a longer outer spline on the CV. I use early 80 series drive flanges on the lux axles in my zuk. You could use them on the later ones, they would just need a 5mm (I think) spacer

Pre 94, ... dont want them damn spacers

After 94 is when they changed to allow for ABS...

Yes agree don't like the idea of spacers between the hub and FWH, more likely to shear off the studs.

Could just trim the end off the CV and cut a new circlip groove.

If it's jus the cv that's different why not just run early cvs in the later housing? (assuming you ended up with a later housing that is)
