Default Supra LSD onto LS400, CONFIRMED!

http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showt...7711#post97711

I hope this isn't a repost, anyways the guy has a 91 Celsior

Fitting the prior to 96 Series B Torsen LSD from the mk4 Supra TT, looks like he had to:

1. Switch Rear cover from factory Diff to move mounting bolt location
2. Drill out two new mounting holes on front of subframe, welded nuts
3. Relocate parking brake cables
4. Adapter plate between rear of driveshaft to LSD input, not a lot of detail on this
5. Stock axles bolted right up, nice eh?

All in all not bad! I think those Diffs sell for under 400$ on supraforums, a little pricey. Mostly I want one for better winter performance, and its nice to hang it out in the rain once in a while.

So there it is! Comments?

Those guys from down under are extreme. I learned a lot by reading about their mods and found out how much cross compatibility there can be among Toyota's from a range of years. Give them a few more years to get working on the later generations.

95-97 owners are in the same boat as the 1st gen, same basic diff mounts.

98-00 should be able to use mkiv diffs as long as they swap over the rear diff cover/mounting plate.
