I think mistrals have higher ratio diffs, as my parents mistral was on about 2.2k revs at 100, were my terrano is on 2.6k at 100.

Im happy with my rear diff, standard lsd, could be abit tigher, does that additive stuff work?

Also was looking into s13 lsds, aparently they fit fron of terrano's, Simon is looking into this, looking forward to see if it works out or not.

I got 4.8's with 32 simex's and it goes as good as a truck with 4.6's on 30's.
