Carsnz123 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 does it have an F series diff? If so the LSD unit out of an Altezza or the front of a 4wd hilux will fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it'll be something like an E series diff in the RX60, mine at least was smaller than an F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 It will be. Actually surprised this has a w55 too as most rx60s I have seen have been w50. Good score there if so. Keen to see how this pans out as need to get onto the same swap on my rx30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also need to look at buying some of these as its seems a lot easier than fucking around making some lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, it is weird. They also say they do "local pickup".... but where??? Their domain name appears to be registered as being in Wyoming... if that's what "WY" stands for. EDIT: Oregon apparently. https://www.facebook.com/pg/RichKobliha/about/?ref=page_internal Edited July 5, 2018 by Adoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought a few items from them with no issue, used Youshop for the shipping coz cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I'm tempted how much boost I can shovel into the LD28 before the H165 goes bang in the VPJR30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffs_Emporium Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yeah definitely upgrade that diff before the engine. Axles dont last very long from previous experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good score there if so. Keen to see how this pans out as need to get onto the same swap on my rx30 So how do I tell which w box it is? It's all alloy and 5 speed. Depending on where u look it could be a 50, 55, 56, 57 or 58. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a pic of the ID tag on the firewall. That will Have the info. Someone here might know if it's possible to bolt in swap an F series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where u look it could be a 50, 55, 56, 57 or 58. If it's all alloy then it won't be a w50 as they are steel casing. So that's rad. As for what it might be out of the w55s etc its all witch craft in my opinion. As @Carsnz123 said, if you are lucky it might have the info on the firewall build plate. But if its nz new which It probably is then can be a little vague with details. This is what a correctly stamped build plate should look like. If looking at the plate, the second line from the bottom labeled trans/axle covers what transmission and diff are in the car. So yours will probably read w5* and E*** the * represent what ever numbers identify the ratios of both. In the picture above you can tell this car has an a340 auto and a G series diff which is same as a hilux. One random question. I assume you're gearbox shift pattern is conventional, doesn't have the reverse jammed up to the top left or anything? I only ask as some ozzy built ones that also made there way over here have borgwarner gearboxes and diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
