It's been a top day gathering more bits for the project.
R31 Skyline diff complete with handbrake assembly and tailshaft end. I had to drive to NSW for it but for $120 who can complain?
FG XR6T intercooler. Matches my measurements for available space so I'm hoping this will work. There's an abundance of these on Gumtree between $50~$100. 

Here's some more pics of the 28 spline borg warner. I cut all the unnecessary brackets off. Still needs a lot of time grinding it all down. The diff seems a lot lighter and slimmer than the hilux one i had. Spec plate shows 3.89 ratio. Definitely a skyline diff :D

All cleaned up and ready for shortening,

great choice we have fitted these diffs to a number off cars now,
28 spline is heaps for an escort, have even used the BW  behind  some very powerful vl turbos  1 customer has  run  as quick as 9.000 at around 155mph  but with 31 spline axles

Nice to see it coming together, you're not wasting any time... I think I spent as much time driving around picking up and dropping things off as I did actually working on the car. Can't say I drove to another state for bits though
Looking forward to seeing more... Drew...

 great progress. coming along very nicely
 
 
i run a borg warner too. works very well.  

 
 
 

Yep BorgWarner here too
3.89:1 LSD Moser 28spline Axles
 

Another small piece of the puzzle

Are you building a motor for this ?or is the pinto you have good to go with the turbo?
