Haha Cheers man. 10/5 hit me up like 2 days out from wanting it for the wedding. At that stage the windows where out and headlining was missing and was looking average but greg to the rescue windows back in get some rego and away laughing they went. Hopefully it looks just as good for the wedding this coming Friday

5 years of some abuse of that little old diff. And I gave it some abuse when I was 17 as well haha. Silly Greg. 

 

Running a 245 60 14 on it. Those hankooks got 5 years out of them.

 

My brothers diff didn't last long. They put a mustang one in if I remember correctly.

Some dirty Bogan I used to buy parts off had a theory that those 7.25" diff were stronger because merica made and better steel. I never popped one. And my ap5's laid some Uber hektik one wheelers. Seen a few fall apart though. Pinion nuts come undone while driving.  Fortunately not in my cars.

By which method has it been lowered? 

You can flip the front spring hanger if you weld up the holes and d

Redrill them the other way around.  5his goes good on early Vals, as the spring eye is quite small. On a CM the from spring eye rubbed on the floor. On my VJ, the pinion snubber then rested on the floor too. But tilting wedges tip the diff forward, and correct this. (Also offers 6mm extra slam)
