Hello, my name is Jason. I currently drive a 2000 eclipse gt 5 speed but have owned two mk3 7mgte supras in the past, among other vehicles. My love for supras came from my sister gettin a 84 mk2 for her first car for $100 from a friend many years ago. she had a few problems with it and ended up selling it for $500 a few months after she got it, but I was in love. After blowing up both 7m's that I had (bpu 89, melted a piston at 140+, stock 87, killed the rings) I decided to reconsider the expensive supra game for awhile. Aftet building a 99 gst for a friend, I want to get back in the turbo game, but with different goals. I was debating between a sbc t56 Volvo and a jz mk2 for street/drift duty. The volvos are nice sleepers, but they don't have the character or presence that a supra does so I have made up my mind. A few questions
1: what is the best diff options for a jz motor???
2: I have seen on here that the mk3 diff can fit with custom fab, any proof???
3: For the people that have drifted the mk2, how is it compared to a 240 or e30??? Also, does it straighten out or snap oversteer the othe way easy??? I hated that in a friends e30.

1: This is what I have and from what I understand if you're going to stick with a mkII diff this the best there is?: http://www.celicasupra.com/forums/sh...e-trac-writeup
2: If you do a mkIII diff, here's a build where Crambo swapped the entire rear subframe: http://www.celicasupra.com/forums/sh...1GZFe-V12-swap
3: Not sure

if you get a p type mkii supra than you get a clutch type limited slip. I am running 4.30 gears on my 2jzge supra. Ive never had a problem drifting it, even when it was stock.

I have heard that the diff doesn't like much abuse. I am looking for around 300 from a 1jz stock twins with the r154, would the diff hold that??? It will be set up for mainly drift so it will take a good amout of clutch kicks and abuse.

for one, there is a major difference drifting a mk2 compared to a 240, first there is more weight in the front, meaning more likely to spin out. also most drift cars have a better steering angle compared to the mk2. not many aftermarket part support and a jz will give you all the power you need, just keep in mind, it dont matter what you use to drift, you will blow transmissions and differentials regardless of the clutch setup. my advice if you do, learn to drive it stock. you will not only learn to drift it, but learn how to improve the car itself. i drift mine, and i must say, its way different than drifting a 84 300zx turbo or 1st gen dsm(yes front wheel drive).

I know these things, I used to drift both my mk3's. I only spun out once despite both of them having no power steering and no turnig radius. I will of course get used to it first before I jump to the jz but I'm just trying to see what to expect from it. One thing I loved about the mk3 is the way I could swing the tail to full steering lock (when the wheel bounces off the limiter) and know that I could pedal it and it would straighten out with ease. With my buddy's e30, if he tried to pedal it and it caught traction, it would kick the car the opposite way. Almost found a few curbs that way.
