P100_Ute 460 Posted June 19, 2013 Time to upgrade the Diff to something a little stronger and Falcon 5 Stud pattern.I did some Measuring of Diffs and some googleing. I have seen others have used Hilux diffs but due to their width you either need to run deep dish or nothing as they are 100mm shorter than the standard Cortina diff.Today i pulled out a diff out of a 1992 Hiace. Its a G series like the Hilux so it has a 8" Crownwheel and 30 spline axles and its only 20mm shorter than a Cortina. Weighs in a 85 Kilo which felt roughly the same weight as the Corty diff so thats not bad.I also got some Disc Brakes to suit it off a 1998 Tarago which uses a 291mm Rotor and has internal handbrake which keeps it all neat.--- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clevo120Y 815 Posted June 19, 2013 Great photos with the missus Tim. Very tidy car. Your welcome mate with the plates, I'm happy someone bought them that I knew and appreciated them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campo 869 Posted June 20, 2013 The hiace/hilux has falcon stud pattern and stuff doesn't it? How does everyone else do the 5 stud conversion, modify a falcon diff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler06 266 Posted June 20, 2013 The hiace/hilux has falcon stud pattern and stuff doesn't it? How does everyone else do the 5 stud conversion, modify a falcon diff? I got a diff built by Dave (pro250) with spool and falcon axles cut and resplined then he makes a backing plate and chucks on falcon discs and calipers. Just need to run AU on offset rims. Others just redrill the corty axles. 1 dougie77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P100_Ute 460 Posted June 20, 2013 The hiace/hilux has falcon stud pattern and stuff doesn't it? How does everyone else do the 5 stud conversion, modify a falcon diff? Yes Hilux/Hiace runs Falcon Stud Pattern. i have both sitting here in shed and will get them both fabbed up to suit the car. so when i can afford a set of Convo Pro's i'll swap to the HiLux diff and bobs ya uncle. I have thort about the normal setup using cutdown falcon diff etc but i have descided to go this way as i think these diffs are stronger than the borg warners. they have 30 spline axles. i know people have broken them before but lots of people in the drag industry run them under rx3's running 9's etc. the axles are 33mm wide compared to the bw78 28 spline axles which are 30mm. And i like to try different things. and diffs are pretty cheap to source if things go wrong. for the diff + disc brakes to suit its $400.. and cost me bugger all to get my fabricator to swap over the mounting brackets from a corty diff to the hiace/hilux diff. got put onto a shop that can whip me up a tailshaft for about $300. so for under $1000. looking at almost bulletproof diff thats not a 9inch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P100_Ute 460 Posted June 20, 2013 Cool photos of the wedding dress. Most chicks will hang onto them for years and years, never wear them again.......... Yeh hence why we did it. It did cost me a trip to tiffanys in new york tho. so 25k for new york trip + trip to tiffanys = pricey way to destroy wedding dress. Wats the plan for the front upgrade? May speak to a PRO.. Dave? msg me your price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got a test n tune street down the road here in Kwinana that I might test its powerskid capabilitys on. Then Wednesday night might take to Woop Ass Wednesday at Kwinana Motorplex and see its 1/4 mile time 2 nos2 and slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
