JZX NZ

I'm thinking 3rd like 2nd may be a slight exageration but it certainly makes third easier to turn.
I liked my 3.7 and raised rev limit as it allowed me to use quick spool and torque band
(indicated 195 in third, not allowing for speedo error)
It was a while ago but from memory I went from 2400 to 2700 or 2800?
Hard to recall as I spent most if my time cruising around 3000

depending on what your after, the Tomei trax diff is fantastic. 6000rpm in 3rd for speed cut. But before that fist and second have a heap of pull, it WILL get extremely tail happy and standstills are no dramas at all. The only hassle is it's a full 2way diff and is extremely agressive so if you don't mine a few clunks and bangs when turning then it's a great choice. Have been reading that its around 3.8 or 3.9 for the jzx100/110 diff but as it came with the car I can't confirm.

Phil you can buy my open diff which has a ratio of 3.9 and swap the crown

Is the 2-way annoying while going around a roundabout or doing U-turns?

They clunk a little but not much around roundabouts. The big clunks come when turning slowly and into car parks but u-turns are easy. With the diff the easiest way its to ride the clutch slightly (can't in mine being a push button pain in the ass) but just ride it slightly and the diff wont be engaged. U-turns are piss easy with it though. I just slide the ass around

I reckon Torsens are best for normal driving. No clunks or anything like that and the car feels grippy around corners.

However, the clunks on a 2-way could be decreased if you install solid diff inserts like the ones WELD make.

Solid diff mounts and a mechanical would be aweful!
Im on the search for a 4.1 crown and pinion if anyone sees anything.
Torsen will keep the smile coming! Just make sure you catch the drift

What diff are you running?

Ive got a OS giken super lock diff. Works real good. Pretty hardcase driving with it when it was auto!

How much work is it to swap the final drive gears around? I have heard the hilux FD is interchangable with ours which would make things easy to source.

I'm running a JZA70 c&p in mine. G series hilux should also be a drop in from what I have looked at.
