Altezza Diff Query
Altezza Diff Query
He reports only one wheel spinning although his chassis number denotes A01B
Now the car is 12 years old, so there is a chance that its been changed for an open diff in the past, how can he tell what diff he has?
and what diff will he need for his drift car?
Cheers
Hi all, a friend of mine has started to attend some drift sessions in his RS200, however he is experiencing some problems.

If it is an Altezza diff the case is in fact slightly different to the IS200 - the Altezza one has heat fins on it the IS200 one is smooth.

The ONLY way to tell is to open it up and see what's inside it - its a torsion type so jacking the car up and spinning a wheel will not tell you anything.
The Diffs are completely interchangeable, only the drive shafts are different - one has 4 studs the other 6 studs but the bit the drive shafts bolt up to are easy to swap over.

Are there any part numbers etc on the diffs? Just thinking how to identify a LSD at a breakers yard or fleabay lol

Cheers pal, just spoke to him about fins etc he was a little confused so I'll have a look for him, he said it looks like fins on the side but I'm sure these are probably casting marks and the fins would be on the rear of the diff?
