R180 plated diff options?
Hi, I'm looking into a plated rear diff for my TypeR, I currently have a r180 354 fitted but don't believe it's plated.
Now the question is, is there a plated diff from another scooby I can fit in mine or straight swap? What excact cars can I get them off and wether it's a straight diff swap or swapping casings over?
I know I can buy Kaaz, Cusco etc but what's the best cost effective option please.
Thanks

6 speeds have the R180. R180 is a bigger casing and so should the internals be so I highly doubt the R160 parts can be used inside a R180.
If you still have the R180 4.44 from your Type R you should be able to remove the LSD unit and bolt it to the crown wheel of your 3.54 R180 but that would require to check that the preloads are still within spec. Easier to find a correct diff and just swap it over.
Be aware that the plated diffs can be badly worn, the 3.9 I got with my JDM 6 Speed was pretty much like an open diff.

Hawkeye STI UK/EU 2006. I think they got the torsen type diff in 2007. I'm not 100% on this info but that's what I've found searching for it.
Apparently there are different part numbers for the R180 3.54 diff with the first being the plated.
