    Going to point out that jason hit a personal best of 9.88 @ 137.8 with his turbo 4.8 using cheap neon coilovers and his super 8.8 swap kit which has NO issues holding down the power. The second thing worth mentioning is now the latest version of the kit allows moving the wheel back up to 3/4 rearward. This is dependent on what you are willing to do up top to match, i designed and now offer conversion tops that move the shock back if using cheap coilovers like jason did. Using other brands of coilovers you can redrill the shock tower and rotate the camber plate if you like to squeeze a little more. 3/4 is about the limit because after that you run into the sheetmetal.

    Had a great weekend watching Jason's 3,000 lb datsun put down low 10 second passes effortlessly using the super 8.8 setup on cheap coilovers and stock control arms. He pulled a personal best of 9.9 @ 134 at the end of that weekend.

    Looking forward to seeing what shane does with his kit. He was actually there at the half mile event when me and David were testing the very first super 8.8 swap. Now jason, shane and David all have the diff setup. All 3 of them have different generations of it but they're basically the same swap.

    Believe it or not im on version 10. I stopped doing tacked kits long ago, because spending hundreds of hours working for free got old. David is still putting miles on his car to this day, and many many cars are out there happily dumping the clutch at 5,000 rpm.

    Couple pics from a recent install I did a couple weeks ago in a customers car.

    Couple pics of various cars that got back to me with progress of their builds.

    Thank you for FINALLY providing a USA shipping address. Parts will be shipped there.

    Back when I had an r200 in the common 3.54 ratio I drove thousands of miles in a given trip without noise. I think a big part of it is the fact that less common ratios are unavailable and tend to be worn out when they get replaced in peoples project cars. Even Ford had issues with their explorer differential that howled constantly because of a pinion bearing issue. I'm not entirely sure using sound deadening will help much, because all of my customers with the mustang differentials use the poly bushings my kit comes with, and the only ones that come back with noise complaints are those who got unlucky with a worn diff with bad bearings. Speaking of bearings, if your gearset isn't worn out, which is likely so, considering the lash being on the large side before adjustment, a worn pinion bearing could result in noise as it allows minor deflection in the gearset mesh under load or coast. This same bearing could itself not contribute to the noise if the rollers themselves aren't noisy, but contribute to the small amount of deflection.

    Yes you can weld tabs to the datsun strut and use that, but I don't recommend it. I did it one time and will never again. Up front especially it becomes a nightmare to work around. Converting to 4 lug is recommended by sending the hubs to a professional that will build up the low side and then machine and drill for new studs. Not cheap. Here's another customer pic. I don't always get pictures back, but when I do I try to remember to post them. Btw it's been over 2 years now since the first v8 datsun drove on one of these differentials and he has had no issues despite thousands of miles, constantly abusing the car and repeatedly hitting 165 mph at different times. There have been various improvements through the versions but the same bulletproof design concepts carry on. No other setups have withstood the abuse that this differential handles with ease.

    Here's a Couple pictures of Dustin's 6 speed super 8.8 swapped 240z. He actually has the Subaru rack swap as well so it'll be interesting to see this particular car on the road soon.

    Dss sells a 9 inch IRS conversion for the 2015 mustang. You might have to clearance some parts of my kit to make it work but it's possible. Not a cheap proposition btw, because you would be needing to buy my kit, their kit and still build the 9 inch center itself...
  13. Invincibleextremes
    3.15 is it. While not ideal it definitely beats dealing with the many issues the explorer IRS differential has.
  14. Invincibleextremes
    This guy used base model v6 2015 rear brakes on the kit and kept his rear mounted sway bar as well. And here's another one from a different car. David recently swapped to a 3.55 lsd differential from the 3.31 he was using and continues to relentlessly abuse his setup without a care in the world. Andrew and his procharged super clean gold car is out there constantly as well.

    Tried and true at 900hp so far with no limit in sight is the 34 spline super 8.8 swap. It's held up at power levels where others have failed in various ways. Honestly don't bother with t3 for this application, I have a few customers who broke those setups at much much less hp. And I've seen explorer 8.8 setups fail as well. Keep in mind dss sells 2,000hp axles for a 2015 mustang. So if it's durability you're looking for, that's honestly the only way to go. Also, to be able to actually drive the car, the 3.15 or 3.31 ratio would definitely be a plus....

    Some guys choose to widen their track and use commonly available positive offset wheels without spacers. Additional length axle shafts aren't a problem at all, just let me know ahead of time. To date, there have been NO issues with anyone breaking mounts, or breaking either the axles or the diff. Or howling or vibrations from the diff. Thousands of miles, more than a dozen cars on the actual road and track, with cars continuing to be in various stages of completion day by day. I will however advice people to measure the axle plunge on their axles if using aftermarket control arms, and to contact me for longer shafts if needed, which I have traded for no extra cost. Pulling out the inner cv is no fun and easily avoided.

    I'm on version 8 now, as version 7 is completely sold out and I'm welding 6 days a week to catch up with everyone. Here's some pictures of version 7 for reference.

    Couple pics of older versions some guys finished, and some of the updates for version 7. Version 7 completely sold out and it's been 6 days a week welding and other work for me. Btw, those interested in running +20mm offset wheels on factory fenders can contact me and I'll have their cv shafts in a custom length. There's a seperate thread for the front conversion using 2014 mustang spindles, but some guys widen their track width using custom ball joint pockets for a mustang, and then use easy to find wheels made for a 240sx, but with the longer bearing life and better scrub radius of not using spacers or negative offset wheels.
  19. Invincibleextremes
    Those plates on the right are tabs to weld to existing coilovers, and use 2014 mustang spindles up front and the kit in the rear. The one with the hole is a replacement ball joint pocket to splice with the control arms and use new ball joints instead of cutting up used mustang control arms for the front spindle swap.

    Version 6 fully welded, with donor axles and custom shafts all in one picture.
  21. Invincibleextremes
    Version 6.
  22. Invincibleextremes
    Version 6 incoming but here are a couple pictures of version 5.
  23. Invincibleextremes
    Grinding along.
  24. Invincibleextremes
    Back to the grind. Version 5 with it's sunk tabs makes for easy welding. Version 6 ordered from the laser cutters and on it's way, it's substantially lighter while giving up nothing in strength. Will post pics with updates.

    Kind of a dead topic, but following up on the flat plate t3 calls a "cradle" ... A guy with an r230 swap bent it street driving with 450hp. He contacted t3 about it and they ghosted him, which seams to be the norm for them. Not the first person I've talked to who's had the same experience. He ended up selling the r230 setup, welding neon coilover tabs to his struts and doing mustang hubs instead. Now he has a big gap above his diff because the mustang diff doesn't require notching the frame rail above it. The super 8.8 is a cut down 10.25 sterling... and it is NOT a small differential at all.
