    it doesnt really matter adm or jdm they will both work fine.
    the question is do you want drums or discs. that is really the only thing that will make a difference in your decision

    "best diff" ? it's a vauge question and theres a whole of info on the forum on what various people run. To answer something like that we need to know what you do to the car, what you want out of it, what it will be subjected to and so on.

    I think the only reason people upgrade to T, F series and others is so they can run an LSD. Whats wrong with your S series currently?

    s series is a stronger diff because it has 4 pinion gears..
    half an inch smaller crownwheel i have not found to be any weaker than a t series,
    same size axels as t series

    sorry guys i should add more info.
    Im currently running a Locked T series diff 4.3 . and i want to change to a open diff. is it possible i could just grind the weld off? ( lol im newb ) or would there be people who would swap their open t, s series for a locked one? im running a 4age bigport with a jdm box. Im gunna be driving it like a granny with the occasional squirt but by no means thrashing it.
    edit: hmm discs would be nice

    ive got a guy who will swap his open "s" series. but its 3.9 gear ratio i believe. this means that my car will rev its tits off right? or the other way around.
