get the 180sx one, the Z32TT has a different final drive ratio, not even sure if it bolts in. 180sx diff will be a drop in job.

Z32 Twin Turbo will not fit, its a R230 VLSD with a 3.698 ring gear. J30, 240sx ABS, or 180sx.... J30 diffs in the junkyard for days

Go find a J30 diff WITH axles, pay no more than $100, and you're good to go.

LOL AZ I didn't see you post from yesterday just above mine until just now :chuckle:

Well if the Z32 diff he's looking at is from a non turbo and its got axles with it then its just as good as a J30, better actually cause its got the same final drive ratio as the S13. The 180sx diff would be even better than that because its got the 6 bolt outputs anyway so he wouldn't need the axles. Either one (Z32 NA or 180sx) is going to have the exact same R200V viscous limited slip unit inside the case.
