    Hey guys, I looking at investing in a LSD but i'll think what diff housing would best suit my setup.

    I'm want to build up my Hachi to be used as a run around but i would like to see it get sideways on the weekends and maybe the occasional track day.

    Just looking for the pros and cons of both of them and what advantages and disadvantages against each other. Any advice would be great

    if u did a search u would have found that
    t18 = cheaper + use t series lsd's + almost like factory
    hilux = expensive + heavy + needs to be shortend + super strong

    thats good work ^^^^

    just use a T series. the G series is overkill for your aplication. and the T will hold up plenty fine. LSD's are easy to come by also

    how much would it cost to chuck in a hilux diff with all the work done and lsd?

    also...how much heavier is it than a t-18 and will it make big difference on the track?
