hey guys...

im about to start a project but need some info first..

i wanna use an offset nugget diff out of a cruiser..

but not 100% sure what model i need and what models are interchangable..

are they available in 6 stud? a
and what ratios are available from stock?

im thinking its either a bj/fj series i need but yeah, need some advice there..

cheers

90% are 6 stud ,only 78,79,100 and 200 series are 5 stud. 85% are 4.1 ratio ,14% are 3.7 ratio and if you are really lucky you can get 4.3 ratio out off the late model 79 series pickup.( all % are approx ).hope this helps cheers sig

Where in NZ are you?

I have a few diffs heads lying around if you are in need of one.

I'm also looking to sell a whole 60 series cruiser rear diff with 4.11 open diff head in it and spring pearches welded on top of diff housing for SOA if you were interested.

im in hokitika...
is the 60 series similar to a hilux rear diff except having and offset nugget??

No the 60 series diffs are alot bigger than hilux but yes the 60 series are offset.

i realsie theyr offset and bigger...

i mean the axles...i dont know the correct term, but do they have protruding axle hubs? is that floating or something?

im after an exle set up like a hilux rear if that makes sense
probably no biggy actually

Prados had offset diffs didnt they?

The Landcruiser has a fully floater in some trucks which has the axle protruding out from the drum, but some cruisers have the semi floating axles which are flush with the drum and has circlips in the diff nugget to hold the ales in.

will either set up be easier to do a disc conversion on or would they be very similar?

The fully floater would be easyier to do the disc conversion on. Ive also got all the parts to put discs on a fully floater if you need them

how much for a diff??

just going through what i need for this project and the costs..

cheers

I'm a bit far away for you dude. Would be easier to find one in the sth island.

For a full floater with an open diff head you should be able to pick a rear 60 series one for $300 or say $650 for an 80 series (just estimates to give you an idea).

anyone got one of these for sale??

Yea sure do, send me a pm.
