I keep forgetting to add to this thread ... Just a little update.. I dropped the car off at the paint shop for some needed engine bay paint work.. I'll be cleaning up the engineand  repainting it as well.. Along that, some side drafts and a nice header so she can sound a little better

I feel really dumb.. I did a ton of research and bought an 03 wrx 4.11 R160 diff for my IRS swap to only realize that there's a difference between the datsun's R160 and the Subaru's R160 stub axles :( I didn't realize that one has a clip spring and the other is a bolt in.. I dug into that and realize the only way to use this diff is to make some custom stub axles unless someone can point me to the right way to either buy some R160 (25 spline) clip stub axle that wont cost an arm and a leg or something... I found a thread and sent a DM to OP on Facebook, hoping he can build them for me!

Follow this link to a old Dime Quarterly article about modifying the stub shafts. It's volume 9 issue 4.
