ST141 discs, calipers, backing plates and bearing spacer (which is attached to the axle retainer) are needed.
They fit straight onto a RA40 diff. You can get a swaybar diff it depends on which year model you get.
For the tailshaft you can use normal things you need for a t series fitment
iv done it and there is no little measurements it is very straight forward. obviously its not perfect but is a cheap upgrade from a standard s series. use ra40 trailing arms and make a sleave to go inside of one bushes on each trailing arm then they fit fine.
Ru-iki. cups look the same but are different hence the reason i made sleeves to fit in the ra40 bushes.
Im not saying this is perfect just letting people know it can be done. iv got one in my 86 and im happy with it
well if you want it to be perfect then there are some little measurements and modification to be made
I wonder why these springs fit perfectly :o
righto champ. i was pointing it out to people that want to do it cheaply not having to modify mounting points ect. which wouldend up costing more than a t18. and ra60 diffs have swaybars i went and checked one yesterday
I did this conversion a couple of weeks back (left my findings on the 'diffs and shit' thread). It works great and is a cheap alernative to getting a JDM T18. As for sway bars. I found an RA40 at pick and say less which had a swaybar fitted to it. There weren't any mounts on the diff but it was mounted with U bolts. Works great and is an even cheaper option to cutting and rewelding yous S series mounts.

oops double post
i ahve doen teh conversion in my ae71, worked really well, better than the borgwiner, i just cut the old swaybar mounts off the borgwarner and welded them onto the t series, i used an adjsutable panhard rod and a sprinter front half tailshadft and a T18 rear half, stock handbrake cables and welded the centre up, ran it at a drift day and it was fine, best mod ive ever done to my car and i got the diff off my dad for nothing
well worth the little bit of extra effort and the drums are massive= awsoem handbrake
And, what are the chances that a trueno lsd will slot into this? Any ideas? I don't suppose the RA40/60 diffs have the big axles like the kouki?
Thanks
Andrew
Trueno LSD will bolt in. Any T series LSD will.
RA40 and RA60 use the smaller splines. The only things to use the larger splines are late AE86s (and AE95, but who cares about them, they can't be used).

i have a ra40 I'm using for parts to build up my ae71. i am fortunate to have scored a disk rear end in it, i assume it is out of a ma45 supra?? it doesnt seem to have an lsd (wheels spun opposites in the air) and it does have sway bar mounts (although in the ra40 it hasnt a sway bar).
has anyone used one of these?? i assume it has the same mounting dilemas as the ra40.
