If you are on a budget and dont want to spend the value of your car on a new rear diff, I did read somewhere that a kingcab diff is plate type, as opposed to viscous, and a better performer for all but driving to the shops.
Be careful to do your homework though and find the one with the right size crownwheel bolts, I think there are two types, 10mm and 12mm... but if you get the right diff then its supposed to be an easy swap and 500 quid cheaper than a "proper" plate type diff.
We have done the scandinavian thing, and welded up the sun and planet gears, haven't done any miles on it yet as the car is still being built... but I have heard of drifters with S12's running welded diffs without any problems, although they can be a b@stard when driving slow, turning tightly and generally around town.
Welding the diff is easy enough and if you have the kit, it is free..... and IMO 100% better for drifting than a poncy viscous diff.
