re-gearing a lexurf

[Karma Supra]

Cheers.. I saw that... it seems the commercially avaialble "lockers" are pretty basic...

I have a torsen diff out of a JZA-70 supra.... I wonder if I can make that fit There is some interchangeability of I remeber correctly... there was a great page about it on Toymods...

[gary-r]

I assumed they worked like the BMW M diffs that can completely lock at the correct situation... and are perfect for daily road use...

Is the truetrack just a brand name for a Torsen unit (google suggests yes)

lockers are'nt really suited to daily road use (read up on them) unless you fit air ones - they are twice the price of a true track lsd.

I do a lot of m-way driving so lsd's were the best choice

Nice!

Froma quiock google thsoe are torque sensetive limited slippers, as opposed to rev sensative lockers...

Is there a massive price difference, or certain advantage of one type over another?

front diff rebuilt with an lsd and re-fitted - all ready for snow with lsd's at both ends.

i have a matching pair of built diffs for a 2nd gen left over for free if anyone wants them - work fine with no leaks.
arrange a carrier and ill put them on a small pallet. £40 - £50 should get them to anywhere in the uk from holland

I've gone the other way.. From 4.3 to 4.56:1

With the 35" tyres my speedo is bang on again, was 5mph out on 31's (reading 35 @ 30)

After winter & with some stronger axle shafts I'll go 5.29:1 I rekon

Very nice gary, looking forward to your snow reports.

im expecting it to be a bit weird on ice and snow - i think the lsd's will make it entertaining.

tried it in mud and it works a treat - feathering the brakes makes it bite when you start to lose traction - on the road in dry or wet it behaves no different from the open diffs.

I was looking to do a ratio change, is 3.42 as low as you can go?

4.1 is the tallest standard ratio available for a surf (i think in the v6 petrol). the 3.42 is a custom fit in surf axles to raise the gearing for the v8. as far as i know no one has done it before.

a petrol or diesel 3.0L surf wont pull a 3.42 - it'll be slower than a milk float.
