HowlerMonkey Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Once you get it together, be careful when setting the toe. I am a lexus diagnostic specialist and saw many technicians butcher up the tabs that give the toe adjusters something to push against. The factory bushings that must move with the eccentric are knurled and very sharp on the ends which makes them resistant to moving as the knurls embed themselves into the crossmember netting you an eccentric bolt that just won't move even if loosened greatly. This causes the eccentric head of the bolt to ride over the areas they should be sitting in and you end up having to set toe forever thereafter by tightening straps between or pushing against the wheels to get movement for adjustment. Loosen them and get a pry bar to pry apart slightly the crossmember to move them out of their captive resting place slightly and tighten back just enough such that the heads of the eccentric don't pop over and get out of where they should reside. Great choice and I have friends putting 700hp on these diffs. in thier supra project cars where they couldn't find the 8 inch supra turbo diff.

It looks like the R200 or R230 diff from the Q45/Z32 might not fit too horribly either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
