ra23celica Forums Junkie Registered: November 2002	Re: Dave Marley-Wallace!! Where are you! I want to know about your hilux diff conversion Tue, 14 December 2004 02:10 I've done this conversion, I know the 'secret' code. You can use Hilux RN 10/13/25/27 rear axles, something like 1968 to 1975 or so I think. I have two of these puppies at the moment - and nope - not for sale. They measure 1370mm wheel mounting face to w. m. face, and that compares with the 1374mm I have measured on an RA23 axle. The Hilux axle complete weights 85kg to the complete RA23 axle at 69kg. The G series LSD I have adds 5kg over a std open centre diff. I have used a Hilux Surf G series 8 inch LSD and it bolts straight in and mates perfectly with the axles. You will need to re-stud these axles to 4 studs if you are keeping the original RA23 configuration. I know that the std RA23 steel wheels just clear the bigger (10 inch) Hilux drums as opposed to the original 9 inch jobbies. You will need to provide 2 RA23 rear axles for this job. One is the test jig used to check and measure the locations for the suspension mounting points, the other axle is sacrificed as extra metal needs to be cut away to get the complete mounting points off. Be cunning while this is being done and get the brake line T-piece transferred over as well to match the RA23 axle. Then you will need to sort out the flange plate on the diff nose as G series plates are bigger than T series ones. While it would be cheaper to keep the T series driveshaft and change the flange plate, for the increased torque of my motor and the fact that I have a complete G series rear end in front of me, I will be cutting down a (longer) RN27 driveshaft to fit rather than use the original RA23 driveshaft. Hope this answers a few questions for you. [Report message to a moderator]
