Homer Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Been meaning to install this for a while and finally got round to it today. Got to say, what a total transformation over the open one (or even a Torsen). It is just so much more planted in and out of the corners, I wish I had fitted one of these to my old single supra. If anyone with a high power car hasn't driven one with a 'proper' clutch type diff, I recommend you have a go in one. They are worlds apart from the stock ones. It's just a shame mines an NA! Edit: Oh and I should mention, it's not a good idea to corner hard with the aero top off and one of these, talk about chassis twist!!!!

Brazil Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You've sold it to me bud..! I am assuming that I should also get 'uk 6 speed big case diff and props' and uprated driveshaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 No need mate, you just get the diff that fits in your casing, not sure if the diff itself is different between the big and small casing but I expect they are... If you got the small casing, you could definitely fit the same one I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I also fitted one to my single...amazing difference. Imo a must for any single Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Which one did you fit Luc? was it 1, 1.5 or 2 way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Does this affect the final gear ratio's? I.e the benefit of running the UK auto diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Does this affect the final gear ratio's? I.e the benefit of running the UK auto diff. No mate, It's the crown and pinion wheels that determine the ratio, the diff bolts to the crown wheel. I was lucky that this diff came off an NA so it was already setup and bolted to the NA crown wheel, simple swap job. If you were buying new it's a bit more pricey as the diff has to be partially dismantled and the new one setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think 1.5 mate. It came off LeeP's blue beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Combined with a set of R888s, the grip this diff provides is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 while i am getting all perverse over diffs ...... would these make any difference to the drive ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-MK4-Supra-Solid-Diff-Differential-Mount-Bushes-JZA80-2JZ-GTE-Track-/300902696531?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item460f32c653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Very interesting Homer Will have a look at these me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I fitted my TRD diff a year ago on my na! You are right it really is such a transformation - didn't expect such a gain when pushing hard out of corners! It is fun too for some drift action!

Chris Bailey Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Dads thinking off getting a TRD diff - Think you may have sold it to him now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 An uprated diff is my next purchase for sure. Nice feedback, Homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The UK diff casing has heat sink cooling fins But both TRD diffs are different 10 bolt 200mm crown and pinion (Jspec casing) versus a 12 bolt 220mm Crown and pinion I have reverted back to an Aristo OEM diff , I had a carbonetics 2 way in there ; big difference in predictability, control and no matter how slow you try to take off in the wet from standstill she spins the inside wheel Was going along the motorway between a bus and barrier in the wet, ended up going sideways on boost between the two, with the carbonetics she just hooks up and goes, no drama , only steps out when you want her to.
