Joel, the Skyline diffs are recommended by the diff conversion people because they have the same stud pattern as the celica, hace discs standard and some have LSD standard (Silhouette I think). The problem is that they are a lot wider than the celica diff. They are also a Borg Warner diff and a few people here have opinions on that, I won't make a judgement on that though, cos I have always had problems with Toyota T series diffs and never had a problem with a Borg Warner diff.
The celica is not a heavy car, so unsprung weight is an issue but you have to look at in relation to the weight of the car. The reason why unsprung weight is an issue is because ultimatly the suspension is there to control the wheel movement. As you can understand, if your unsprung weight (wheels axles etc) is very light compared to the vehicle sprung weight (the rest of the car) then the suspension will not have any problems keeping the tyres firmly planted on the ground. However if the unsprung weight gets heavy enough to become a significant proportion of the car, there will not be enough sprung inertia/weight to control the wheels.
If the Hilux diff is an extra 30kg for a vehicle with a driving sprung weight of 1000kg, you will be increasing the sprung:unsprung ratio by 3%. Not a huge difference, however you will be increasing the unsprung weight by maybe 30%, therefore the springs and shocks will have a little trouble keeping up.
Just for interest, The RA28/RA29 GT's came with an F series live axle, shame we didn't get them here. As for strength, the T series gear set and axles aren't really up to the kind of power you want to put through them, so I wouldn't waste your money on an LSD for one. Norbies F series on on the other hand seems to be taking a fair punishing.......not bad for a 20 year old diff.
