How's it goin lads, I picked this up during the week, nothing special. 96 2.0 n/a manual. It had one owner since it was imported so it pretty clean bar a cracked headlight and mould growing from being parked up!

As I picked it up

I spent 2 hours washing it but needed a hand from the local car wash lads!

Plans are to tidy it up, test it, knock a bit of crack out of it, so far I reckon it needs rear shocks and to fix the rev gauge and speedo as its over reading 20kms and the revs are flicking!

Oh and thanks to my neighbour for the headlight, worked a treat, :)

That'd be over board man hahaha will get a test on it then maybe weld it up, unless the wife has still taken a fancy to it!

Would a gtst diff fit this? Does anyone know?

I think the flange bolts are different gtst has 5 bolt holes, and the gts has 6 bolt holes like a s14 diff, Im open to correction but i fitted a s14a diff to a non turbo r34.

Just had a quick look there, it's 6 bolt. So would a s14 diff fit?

If theres 6 bolts in pairs of two, if that makes sense? Then it will fit. Your car, probably has abs so try get a diff out of a s14 with abs.

Non turbos have a different diff casing and subframe than s14's or gtst's . prob won't fit. If you are gonna buy one let me throw the head under first before you spend your monies. You may need to pick up another n/a diff and weld it or weld your own.
Don't listen to hear say. Non turbo's have quite a few differences than others, I'v bought enough to know
