I don't think any of those look much like a kingcab!

I haven't any experience of using a kingcab diff (just the guts), but I know I have read about it on the net and seen pictures.
Not all kingcab diffs will do the job though, but if I really wanted one, I am sure I could find the info and a diff without too much trouble.

ps.. didn't mean to come accross as rude, I just don't tolerate pillocks very well this time of the morning.

Well from what I can tell only the Nissan 4wd thing above has the R200 independant rear end. Of course then you may not need the guts as it were. The R200 diff comes inside a long nose or short nose casings. The S12 and the Z31 used the long nose type, S13, R series uses short nose.

Subaru diffs are R160/180 and are long nose, they actually fit to the S12 cross member. The only issue there would be adapting the driveshafts and making a new rear bracket.

I'm surprised at Nissan though, I'd expect their 4wd's to all to be a live axle, but I guess its Nissan being realistic to the fact that some of the vehicles are only used in taking the kids to school

Strewth.... it doesn't matter if it is a live axle or not,

First measure the backlash on your s12, (backlash is how much the crownwheel rocks on the pinion. Keep a note of this as you are going to use the original crownwheel again on your lsd.
Then you remove the guts from the kingcab rear axle, remove the crown wheel and bearings and throw away everything except the diff cage (with plate type lsd).
Then.. as long as you have the same bolt diamters, (apparently some were 10mm and some 12mm) fit your original crownwheel from your original non lsd (or gay viscous) rear axle onto the kingcab plate type lsd guts.
Fit the bearings, check bearing preload, check the backlash, moving the shims around to get the same backlash as you ran with your standard diff, otherwise it will whine...

And bobs your uncle...

Conkers <--- thats all I got to say about that.

Yeah I know how to build a diff, but from when I've seen the other Nissan axles open (H190 for example) they seem pretty different.

How do you know if the crown wheel will bolt on or if the bearing diameter or bearing cap diameter will be the same though? I agree that with shimming the diff you aim for the same backlash, but you also need to check the pinion depth. My point is for average joe bloggs with an s12, doing all this will be a major pain. My advice is to make things easier for yourself and stick with an option i've mentioned previously.

Conkers, with all due respect, this is a friendly forum for S12 discussion and debate. Insults to other members is totally uncalled for and won't be tolerated.

Please ensure your replies are constructive/polite and non derogatory.

First, I want to apologise to 30psi for being rude. Make no mistake about that, Sorry.

But Richard, I have some beef with you..

Constructive.. I think my post has been constructive Richard, and I apologise for insinuating that the guy was a pillock.
I took exception to him insinuating that I was a muppet, with the "kingcab has a live axle" comment, when I was perfectly clear in my posting when I used the term "diff" as opposed to "axle", yet he misunderstood me and called me by stating the obvious.
If you are unsure, look up the definition of a diff verses an axle.

You are admin and I respect that, but you are sitting on a high horse and might want to have a good look in the mirror, I just spent a few minutes skimming through the sort of posts and comments you make on here, and can only summise that racist remarks and slurs against different religious beliefs are obviously ok as are derogatory remarks about officials at car meetings...

So I'll be watching you Richard... Racist remarks will not be tolerated, regardless of who you are.

Conkers. <--- "In my country we throw hypocritical administrators down the well" ;-)

Now lets all get back to talking about what we enjoy... Cars, Women and playing with them.

To be perfectly honest I couldn't give a pig's ear how much you "watch" me and if I wish to repeat part of a scene from a 2006 released film (Borat) on my own server, I will do.

With regards to racist comments. I think you will find there are members on this forum of several different races or religions, none of whom are offended by my, or indeed any other posts on here. In the event that any Jew, whether in or out of a well, takes offence to this forum content then please don't hesitate to contact me or any other admin.

Do have a splendid weekend.

Ive got in a few of these threads before and its irratating and can easily get out of hand all because somebody didnt say the full story initially and then someone else is trying to teach them what they already know. This can be easily be taken in offence
There is always banter and disagreements on a forum. Its hard to sometimes get down in a reply what your trying to put forward without it being read wrong or misunderstood.
