The kit is for a 3000m and as my tr6 diff is screwed. Diff carrier is broken, near side driveshaft has more play in it than is safe it really needs sorting. £100 for a Nissan lsd I think it will be worth the effort. Iin addition to Adrian's comments I will also need to shorten my existing prop by 2" and I need to remember how to use the lathe and mill in the garage to do a bit of machining on the diff input flange.
Other than that Im using the tuscan As its taxed all year round. Not as much fun but still has the badge on the front.

Another option fit a ford sierra diff !Have a pair of adaptors made up and you can still use your drive shafts depending on their condition .
or just get brand new driveshafts made to fit…£120 ea

I did the same on my 1600m but that only had 150hp , not sure if the wheel bearing set up and the standerd flange is up to a lot of power to me it seemed a weak link !! But I work on tractors?????? Richard
