R33 Diff In A Ba Falcon?

Guys, be fair

The R33 diff is a common conversion into BA falcons in drag racing and speedway circles. The trick is, that you need to use a front diff out of the GTS4 (NA). This will bolt straight in but you'll then have to convert the Falcon to 4 stud at the back. You'll also need to fit the Skyline steering rack and lock it out, but this has the benefit of giving you adjustable toe on the back of the Falcon. If you're half smart you can put a tee line into your power steering return lines, install a couple of electric solenoid actuated pilot valves and connect this to the unused terminals in the Falcon ECU to give you HICAS (you;ll need to call your local Pirtek dude to make up the hyd lines for you, as the Skyline and Falcon hydraulic fittings are different - Skylines use 1/4" BSPP and Falcon uses 3/8" NPT). Again, a little known fact that Ford played around with HICAS style rear steering, but gave it away as too costly on their budget spec taxis.

True

u wouldn't happen to know what the difference is between the front and rear diffs out of the skylines.???

The front diff is in the front and the rear diff is in the back

the front diff is open but you can convert it to LSD with a Phantom Grip assembly. To increase the locking, you use coarse lapping paste between the faces. Note you'll need to build up and machine the faces every 5000km because they'll wear out so quickly.

Oh dear!

Not my fault you drive a tractor... Just out of curiosity, have you asked this question on the ford forums?

and get several stoopid answers...

Why do yo9u want to? Why not just put in a falcodore clutch type LSD and be done with it. The viscous LSD isn't all that great and any entry/mid level aftermarket centre you will get for the 33 diff will be clutch type anyhow. Grab a rebuilt Falcon LSD, chuck it in and bobs your uncle.

[turboedsloth]

Or grab a KAAZ centre for it, they are making them for commodores and falcons now

i have a R33 auto diff sitting in the shed so that is Y i'm asking. and i still don't know how it was a dumb question.

[Miguelone]

Have you looked at the mounting points and dimensions of the 33 diff compared to the BA? That should've answered your question straight off the bat.
