heh, I can count to well more than 10 last time I checked, I can't however see ALL the bolts on the diff to count em without putting the car on a hoist. I'm hoping one of the guys more accustomed to toyotas (as I'm a complete n00b at anything other than Nissan drivetrains) will be able to recognise the diff easily. And if it is an 8 blot S-Series, explain how it has disc brakes.

1. stick head under car
2. put hand on top side of diff if ur so unflexible to lean up and swivle ur head a bit
3. find bolt, move hand clockwise to next bolt, repeat until ur hand is in the same position it started in
4. add up total number of bolts

better yet, just looking at the first pic i can tell it's a T18 diff with sway bar mounts - which means its off a later model T18.
If it has discs, there is quite a possibility that this is a jap differential, but also could be a T18 diff with discs adapted.
The way i would tell is the end flanges - if you 'stick your head'  behind one wheel, and look at the flanges which adapt to the backing plates of the brakes, it should either look like these:
lol @ my paint skills
hope it helps dude

That LSD will definately fit into that diff.
The T18 diff is basically the exact same as the JDM diff apart from the end flanges/discs brakes, smaller axle bearings and obviouslt the LSD - but the housing/centre housing is somewhat identical.
have super happy sliding fun!

Also afaik S series didn't come with disc brake hubs, only the T series diffs did.
