Wear a flanno shirt and bring along a banjo next time you go. Maybe they'll be more helpful.... either that or they'll make you squeal like a pig!

Your going to have to do a conversion to 6 stud or 5 stud of 4 stud in some way shape or form. BUT BUT BUT remember this.. If you redrill and WELD axle plates from 6 stud down to 4 stud you'll not be able to get it engineered because you have welded the axle plates. Another issue to get around that is if you get the 5 stud ones (Which I happen to be looking for too. rare as dogs balls) then you can just re-drill them without having to weld them and hence from my believing can be engineered because they are not welding.

Or.... Find an F Series diff from a MX23 rig up a jig based on the standard Celica diff mount points and weld on new brackets.
LSD for these are easy to find as well.

Sorry badly written.
Standard diff size on MKIII supras, so if it can put up with 7M-GTE - 1J's will handle a 1G-GTE in a rather light celica easily.
Probably not as strong as a G but not too far off.

So there is no particular need to go hunting for a g series hilux diff to put in an ra23, it could be good enough to simply get a f series mx23 diff?

Ok, so all told sounds like a reasonable solution. Hrm, how easy are they to find though. Frankly I'd never heard of a mx23 before, but I'm guessing it's a 5m? cresida of the same vintage as an ra23? or some such?

Mark II Corona = MX23
Celicas diff width is about 1370mm the MX23 is about 1410mm
If you are going for a front brake up grade there is a combination that will bring the front out about that far as well widening your choice of rim as you will probably need to change offsets slightly. there are 2 RA28 I know of that have similar diff treatment.
And from a search I was doing the F series is about 25kg lighter than the G series. Diff

Gotcha. So the pitfall is the track widening.
Well, thanks that answers the questions. Seeing as I already have the rims, I think I'll be sticking with the hilux one, despite the fact that it's harder to find. But thanks for the info all the same, makes shit loads more sense now.

Yeah It comes down to weather you have the rims or not.
Generally speaking the stock size rims will still go under the rear, but if you have wider rims you'll run into issues

LSD's are available for the standard T series diff. You could track one down second hand for about $500 if you looked, but the sprinter guys are always looking out for them so they are getting difficult to come by. I think they are still available new.

G series is good but overkill for a 1G in a light car. F series will be more than up to the task as already mentioned, and has the advantage of being lighter and available in 4-stud.

you would recomend an F series diff in a car that will have a lot of hard launchs and much tire killing from a 1g-gte that has a GT40 stuck to the side of it???
i think a little over engineering in this area would be welcomed

Yep, I reckon an F series will be fine. Hard launches aren't such a concern - a 2 litre engine with such a large turbo won't have a lot of torque off the line.

Thanks Allan, your the man. I knew you'd know. Particularly given the fact that you know the car too. Plus you know how I drive. Heh. Although I haven't taken you for a spin in it yet, I better work on that. Just as soon as I get my new diff. I keep killing this one.

I seem to remember someone with several cars laying around with dead diffs 
from memory the RA23 has the narrow diff?? and requires the RN27 hi-lux diff, try contacting richard aka 1978supra?? i think he has done this.

An array of them anyhow.heh
Yeah after much searching, it is true, the rn27 is the right diff for it, but try finding one. They are as rare as dogs balls. But yeah, the diffs are narrow. I know of one, but it's miles away and it costs a bit, but I might have to pay for it anyway. You may have read my story here a while ago about it.

Hey Norbie, how much torque was your 2J making on full boost. And you were having axle tramp problems too.
If an F series diff can cope with that kind of torture, then I recon it ain't too bad.
Having said that if you are planning on using a locked diff and running around on race tyres all the time, you may end up snapping the odd axle.

I don't have an actual torque figure, but in laymans terms it's "a metric arseload".
Yes I was getting pretty bad axle tramp before I replaced the suspension.
Frankly I can't see why anyone would consider the F diff weak when it has been proven time and time again behind 1JZ, 2JZ and yes even 7M turbo engines. I somehow doubt a weenie little 1G is going to create much of a problem.
But hey, it's not my money.

yes and no, i was more refering to the tarted up coronas IE front wheel drive models that chaged to ST chassis codes, the "celica" died after the RA65 and then become the "sexuality challanged" celicas
and anyway if you compare MA45 to RA40 thay are worlds apart besides floor pan, roof and doors
And the cost of a G series diff over an F series would be minimal anyway!

As for what the ra23 has in it, they come standard with an 18rc, which would probably shit itself trying to put the pressure on a spool center, yes.
