Hilux diff - What's it worth?

Hi, just wondering how much i would expect to pay for a RN25 Hilux diff, 4.8 non-LSD centre, Escort yolk, disc brakes, already set up for a Mk2?
Cheers
Ben

    Really ? Already setup for a mk2 ? I would have expected it to be much higher than that, where can I get one at that price ?

    No chance. $1000 I'd say.

    Standard rn25 housing, axles, centre - $300 min
    Rear discs and calipers (r31) - $50-$200
    Caliper brackets - $0-$100
    Turn down and re-stud axle flanges - $200
    Modify tailshaft or hilux flange - $50-$300

    Yeah, it doesn't add up but you get the idea.

    Rn25's are hard to find these days.

    A Mazda b-series from around 1980 (b1600/b1800) is very similar.

    eBay is your friend.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toyota-Hilux-RN25-Diff-Suit-MK1-MK2-Escorts-/160624734648?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2565faf1b8

    His asking price is probably a bit high but they are getting rarer each year.

    Depending on your power output you may be beter off getting a Trans X style diff. Smcka sells them for $750 - $1,000 and for power outputs up to 200hp will do a great job without the need of any modifications and certainly less stuffing around.

    This is the way I will be going.

    Good luck.

    If you are patient and collect the parts over a period of time, and do the work ourself, it's quite inexpensive.

    That's all I've paid for the two I have. Although as you want it already setup, it would depend on what the seller values his time at to put it together. Hilux housing $50-100, LSD centre $150 (I was actually given mine $0), R31 calipers and rotors$50 Brake pipes, hoses and brackets$50. Oops, sorry just reread your initial post, take off the $150 for the lsd centre.

    Hi Tanz,

    I agree on the cost of the diff itself but not on the brake set up having just started doing it my self.

    The calipers were 2nd hand ($25) rebuild kit ($60) new Rotors ($60 at Autobarn) Brackets ($140 Paul Dunstan - though cheaper if you can do it yourself) Machining $200 or a couple of slabs! New braided hoses connectors and brake pipe $200.

    Total $685.

    The above is using new parts so I suppose you could do it using the parts from the donor vehicle but then you are taking a bit of a gamble.

    Also chances are if you get a 2nd hand diff it would probably be rooted 20 you would need a new centre too.

    Therefore $1,000 sounds about right.

    Cheers
