What kind of diffs, axles, hubs etc are going to drive those big meats?

Doing the T case mod, subaru tranny locked in low (giving me the same final drive as the stock 13s) for starters. The next step is swappng in the R280 diffs (have on one hand, another sourced. matching inboard axles hybrid to EA81 outers w/ ringed cups. EA81 hubs modded to 6 lug.

 

This is stepping up 3 inches taller and 4 inches wider than what I have now, but the tire weight is unchanged.

Mount those babies!

 

Send us pics!

 

So your low range will be the same as the stock 13" in High range?

 

Glenn,

R280 diffs? I'm not familiar with those. Are they on newer Nissans or something?

Pardon my typo, R180, used on the JDM STIs for a while now, and now on the US STI as well. Larger, stronger, and much tougher stub/CV setups.

Ah yes R180, I was guessing that's what you meant. Those tires are pretty big. How about kicking it up another notch to the R200 or R200a? Then you could use ARB air lockers or Calmini clutch style LSD.

can't wait to see the pics!! i held off on getting my 33's till i beefup the diffs. axles and outer stub axles, which i'm in the process of modding for beefed up axles and stubs... takes time for what's being done. which i don't have much of. can't wait to see it!! mine will be with 31" tires for another year or 2.
