What he said! I'm either going to swap ring gears and weld the spider gears... Or I'm going to use the GS diff and modify my subframe to mount the two ears rather than the one that the LS has. Eventually I'd like to get a 2 way.

I was thinking about calling this guy up and lowballing him just because this diff has been FS for the last 4 months. But if it takes more than just some simple modifications it maybe more of a hassle to make it work then its worth.

should be do-able, try cross referencing part numbers for the spider gears, axles, and ring gear with mkiv or GS/SC parts. i know that the '95-97 internals are interchangeable even though the mounts arent but not too sure about the 1st gens. wish retrodrive's site was still up.
(not a drift bucket but surely gets sideways.)

Why would you want to see that. Too many V8's in drifting anyways. I can't stand that ****. I mean the 1UZ is a great engine and I'd rather see that swapped into cars than any American "potato" motors.
1JZ should be pretty sweet when its all said and done. I haven't been updating as I've been acquiring everything I need, everything will be done very very soon. A few weeks tops, for everything.
Intercooler needs to have tabs made on the bumper support/crash bar.
Intercooler piping needs to be made (full 3" aluminum pie cuts)
Stainless exhaust needs to be made (4" dual polished blast pipes)
Still need to get measurements for shifter extension (wait til you see what I'm doing) and I also need measurements for the driveshaft shop.
Need to take out the dash/console/etc. for mounting of clutch pedal.
Install Walbro 255LPH pump
Have harness conversion done.
It should all be getting tied up in a few weeks, should have a motor in car teaser pic by the end of the week

I'm going to be putting a 1jz in the car most likely. That's the plan as of now. I'm going to have it weight this week with everything everything in it. Then we'll get a after weight in a few weeks when I gut everything. ABS delete, nothing from the rear seats back. I already ditched the stock radiator and overflow, Im running a MK3 Supra radiator.
in for pics of your ssr's after they break from being weakened by powdercoating and then the stress of 4000lbs being slung on them to break traction!

isnt the tt auto diff a 8.75in ring gear and the tt 6 speed diff a 8.875? and then the n/a mk4 diff is 8.5in(or was it 8.625?) ring gear like the ls/sc/gs?

the 2+LS shares the 200mm sized ring gear size with the SC, 2GS, and JZA80.

I sold the SSR's. And please show me how powdercoating a wheel causes it to weaken? That 350degrees for 10-20 mins really has an effect on a set of FORGED track wheels right? GTFO.
And as for the statement about drifting a 4000 lb car with a 1jz? The car weighs 3650 from factory, and I have removed everything from the interior/trunk/bay that is unneeded. Car will weigh somewhere around 3300 lbs, similar to a MK3 supra and about 300lbs lighter than a factory SC300 (japanese counterparts come with the 1JZ....).
My old 1UZ made 216/223 uncorrected in about 95-100 degree heat.
So my 1JZ on 10psi, front mount, full 3" exhaust... Should be around 270-280whp.... Yeah man, that sounds terrible!
