    click on search and type in mini spools..there's heaps of threads on it lad.
    but to answer your question, you'd need a 28 spline mini spool.

    A spooled diff with 4.11's would have had alot of load on it mate. Might be fine for abit. Will need a rebuild eventually.

    You mean short. Smaller the number the taller the ratio.

    lol

    well guys iv just put the locked diff in mine, and.............and.............and............. iv neva had as fun in my car as i did this week end when i went for a cruise, a stock v6 with a locked diff is an awsome combo if u ask me, lol my car loves to kick out all the time now and i love it, i went down the back roads of werribee south and had a bit of fun. hehehehe its also a shit load easyer to handle too when its side ways i found it hard and alwasy griped hard when the single spinner was in, now its a locked diff its smooth to drift and easy to keep under control, even when the car is full on side ways.

    but yer thats my little story hehe o and the ratio helps aswell id recon being 4.11's

    there is a thread around here somewhere that gives a link that i put up to a right on calaisturbo.com it shows basically in step by step format how to do it. It took me a day to do but i had a couple of hour breaks here and there. I also didnt know how to take my axles out nor did i know how to pull the centre out. Tip for removing axles. Get an old rim and bolt it on backwards. But no tight. Very loose infact. Just 1 or 2 turns on the thread. Now use the rim as a slide hammer and get it slide it back and forward till it pops off. And a tip for removing the centre. A BIG LEVER BAR!!!
