you need a late model t18 diff the one you looked at was an early one. late model has the sway bar mounts, you can buy a ke70 diff as it has the mounts but you can't use the diff itself as the yoke is different, i learnt this after putting my sprinter diff into my ke70 only to have the tailshaft not wanting to bolt on!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/laugh.gif

you can go to great lengths off cutting off mounts and welding them on to the t 18 diff or you can be smart and try to find a late model T18 diff

good luck!!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

its not that hard to remove the mounts from the old diff, ive done it with an angle grinder , a hammer and chisel, and then re welded them into Indi's car when she put her LSD in. her diff housing did not have mounts before.

dont be scared of a little extra effort people it always pays off with mechanical stuff.

I am in this situ at the moment and a friend who races toranas said not to bother with a sway bar for the rear for circuit work.

of course drift is different suspension wise...
