Were there different gear ratios available in the open differentials from the factory? Or were they the same every year in the coupe and the fastback? I'm planning to weld mine to lock it for dirt track racing. s13/s14

there were r200 diffs that used different ratios that you can swap into your housing, but afaik all usdm open diffs had the same.

Thanx for the info. Is there any easy way to tell them apart without opening up the dif?

turn the drive input and count how many rotations the half shaft makes.
