Diff ratio

[tuscanturner]

Having finally fitted the v8 into my taimar it has decided to find the weakest links going out to the tyres!
Hence the recovery truck at the pre 80s

I'm looking into upgrading the diff and axel components,Can anyone recommend a suitable diff ratio? The is used primarily for the road with a bit of track day action if it's not too loud.

Hi it's an lt77 gearbox on with the original Tr6 diff and axle set up. The diff carrier is the first thing to break so I might as well get the back end upgraded now.
I'm toying with putting a chimaera diff and axles on. But I'm open t opinions that won't cost half the value of the car

Do I need to do any hating with the standard hubs?

Well that's now decided! Richard Good cv axles and hubs plus a Nissan R200 (skyline) LSD. Should be good for 4-500hp before the cv joints go. I think that will do and hopefully once fitted I won't need to touch it again

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.
