What's the ratio of your 5th gear - if it's 1:1 then I would think you're after a 4.375 to 4.625; if it's indirect the 4.8 is worth a shot. A 5.1 is generally only good for 160-170 kph so you'd be flat out by the bridge. Ideally you should be geared to pull somewhere between 180-200 on the straight and you should have the hp to do that; but as I've never driven a 4 cylinder there I could be way off the mark though.

Brad
I was hoping to change from my 5.1 before the qld datsun day at lakeside on the 18th. Nov
As for price I have absolutely no idea what they are worth
so my first offer is $10. but that is negotiable hehe
Are all R180 diffs the same in the way the half shafts slide into the housing rather than bolt up to a flange on the side of the diff?
Do u think 4.8 is the right ratio for lakeside given that i run 195/60x 15 wheels with the hollinger close ratio 5 speed? I'm pretty sure 5.1 is too low.
Anyone know what is a fair price for one of these diffs? I'd hate to rip Brad off...
cheers
Mick

List
I am looking for an R180 diff somewhere in the range of 4.4 to 4.6:1...
What models should i be looking for at the wreckers?
I would love LSD but....depends on availability as much as price.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm on the Gold Coast
cheers
Mick
