Default Need Aristo rear diff

Well I looked in the for classified section and no one has one posted up so I figured I'd ask here. Does anyone know where I can get the Aristo rear diff. I don't really like the really high rpm i have due to the gs 300 diff still in the car after the gte swap. A point in the right direction or any alternatives would be much appreciated! TY

Of course getting a 3.76 LSD is preferable, but are you ok with just a 3.76 open diff if your mainly after the gears?

There is a huge issue with like half of them for sale turn out to be open diff but are advertised as lsd.

3.76 Torsen LSD's at a good price are between $700-$900 (not shipped), but sometimes fetch as much as $1000-$1300 if someone is desperate or have not researched average prices. The 3.76 TRD/RMM Clutch Type LSD's pull more like $950-$1600 and don't show up very often.

If your primarily only after the gear set I know two places that have an open 3.76 diff pm me if interested.

These cars below are what came with the 3.76 gears and the whole pumpkin will bolt up to your car, LSD was an option on all of them so do not assume anything when buying one, make the seller open it up to show, if he doesn't don't buy from him.

Id like to have the LSD type diff but finding one is impossible around where I live. Im currently checking with importers 1st then will explore other alternatives. If you happen to have one and want to sell one with LSD. Please let me know.

Call moe at japandirectjapanese.com. He might be able to help you. And he's very reasonably priced. Tell him Jon referred you. The number I have isn't toll free. I believe there is a 800 number on the site but it's 9052383331. I just purchased a complete swap from him for a great price and he's gone above and beyond to make sure I'm happy. Good luck.

That's funny. Me too. But I got the rear diff with it. I think it was 400 more with the propeller shaft and axles. Idk. I'd try calling bro. They don't seem to respond to email the same as a phone call. Good luck. Check out rhdjapan. I ordered radiator hoses and they arrived 8 days later. The company's ran by English speaking people and their prices aren't bad. They had a ton of LSD diffs on sale the last time I checked it out. I plan on getting more things from them I just wanted to make sure they were legit. As far as I could tell they were. The best part is they have a ton of parts for jzs161 v300 which is our car. Idk if I'd get the diff from there but it's defiantly cool just to check it out.
