Stewiefied Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 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 0106161317_HDR by luis veguilla, on Flickr 0106161140_HDR by luis veguilla, on Flickr 0106161011_HDR by luis veguilla, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment

Stewiefied Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment
