You can fit an early Toyoda T-series diff head, including the LSD unit, in a Datsun H165 housing. T-series diff to 1985 is what is needed. 1985-1987 GTS diff is larger.

Contents

Overview

Only the early ae86 83-early85 zenki diffs 24mm axles and same splines as h165 axles.


Grind out center section from 175mm to 177mm to accept the ae86 carrier. (May need to relive part of the internal step where housing meets the rear bowl to allow ae86 towers to clear fully.

Related a dent to clear bearing retaining bolt in rear bowl just to the outer side and above rear filler plug (approx 5mm with a ball pein Hamner).

Insert carrier and then axles to check for binding and straightness.

Center punch the carrier holes transfering the spot to drill then tap on the housing

Re-drill H165 housing for AE86 centre section as now 10 bolts not 8 (9 bolts approx 35 long and one approx 85mm)

Use driveshaft adapter ring & machine AE86 companion to match. That's it.

rally1200 Diff Conversion

Club member rally1200 was going to fit a Sprinter diff centre in the H165 housing. But the housing was bent, so he converted the Sprinter axle assembly to fit the 1200.
