I have said the same thing for some time now. When we built this car, we knew it was a matter of time. Those launches that Ryan does are pretty violent. It did hold up to the abuse for quite a while considering.
Ryan, what exactly gave out or do you not know yet?

yup, the rear end we built for him took a 7k drop! Cool, I didn't think a R160 would take that. If the rear axles were a little stronger, I think the diff would have gone.......

The custom axles I got made from Moser still use the Subaru hub ends but the shafts are cromolly. The shafts are what were breaking on my RWD conversion, but I haven't broken anything since the conversion (which I hope I can still say a long time from now).
If you're interested I could find out more info on gear ratios, subframe designs, getting my axles duplicated, etc.

j30 is a 3.90 ratio. I had one in my 240sx and just sold it a month ago for $150 wiht axles. the r200 is a great Diff. i now have the 4.08 ratio that came optional in the 240's. Oh and i can gte more J30 Diff's
