As I owned a 2000 3door RAV4 for daily car before, I can give you some opinion.

The RAV4 is a beautiful car to drive, the build quality, handling, comfortable, more space, easy to park.

Moreover, it is more safety than the vitara. I got a small accident before, I was driving straight on the main road, a Excel came out from the small road, she didn't stop on the Giveway sign and hit my passenger side door. The bumper of Excel went inside quite a bit, but the door of my car just only had the color mark, not even a dent!!

For the oil consumption, the RAV4 is quite thirsty, a full tank of petrol(35-40L) can go for around 380KM(freeway and city), I think because the car is quite heavy(when you open and close the door, you can feel it).

So I will go for the RAV4, even the vitara is cheaper and the oil consumption is better, but the RAV4 is more reliable and safety as a daily car.

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      By Butters · Posted

      From memory and please correct me if I have this wrong, the nismo that come with half shafts are specific for that diff centre. You may be able to find Nissan ones that match up but you'd need to understand what nismo are doing.    Best option is get  a pair of 5x1 axles, they usually don't cost that much and direct swap over for the 3x2(6 bollt)

      AFAIK, the length of the shafts has NOTHING to do with the ratio of the diff.

      It depends on what the guy who bought its Ratio is. Mine is a 4.36 Jus Jap told me anything above a 3:9 has equal length shafts which the Nismo center's shafts were not.

      If those shafts in the last 2 photos are the ones that came with the diff, you have no hope of fitting the other ones because they are completely different

      I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?
