You may want to start looking into uprated differentials (Z32NA or R33).

What transmission are you using? - try to find the matching differential for it. also, what axles are you using? 5 or 6 bolt?

ivw got a r200 with a kaaz 1.5 way, the only ratio that ive had trouble with is the 3.54 from a q45, snapped the ring gear in half, so ive stayed with a 3.92, havent had ne trouble, also, idk if your looking to spend a lil extra money but i went with dss stage 5 axles and inner hubs b/c i kept breaking stock cvs and axles

1990-96 q45 used a 3.52 final...how did you break the ring gear, did you not check/torque it all down properly?

q45 diff swap > all other diffs as far as strength goes

eh, the q45 diff is not the end all be all diff swap...the real benifit comes from the ablility to use the large '1000 hp' axles as found on the gtr and z32 tt.the internal spline pattern of the diff is different as well as the hub pattern...iirc its 31 spline instead of 29, its been a while since i had my q45 diff open.the axles are absolutely beastly, there is no doubt in my mind they can hold any and all power you can generate.
