i have an 84 gs and was going to do the gsl or -se rear conversion. i was wondering if the pinion flange was smaller on those because i baught a 3rd member but the guy wasnt sure which car it was from or what year and it was smaller. i thought it might have been pre 84 so it had the smaller bearings but was not sure if the pinion flange changed size as well. also is there a preferance to make this swap better?

 

all 84's are a bolt in affair. Just swap pumpkins. If you really want some tear off the line get a kia diff, no limited slip though, but cheap upgrade to 4.44 or 4.78 gears.

 

i really wanted the lsd and disk brakes on the rear

 

do the full gsl-se drivetrain upgrade..its just better that way.

:AA:

 

According to Mazda trix and all the info I have, the 85/84 suspension parts are interchangeable without mods. Main difference is the discs and lsd. sizes are the same. I also have an 84 gs and I'm doing the GSL-SE swap this spring.

 

cool thats what i was hoping for thanks

 

with the gslse suspension you will have a whole new world of wheel options

 

are they the 5x114.3 or 4x?

 

4x114.3

 

oo nice

 

yes sir..only the lucky one's find the 4x110 wheel's.

:AA:

 

i might be betting a gsl rear. what else do i need to do for the brake swap. not sure what the difference is with the ebrake and do i just use the gsl master brake master?

 

you need the whole rear end with everything on it (caliper's,disk's...)..yes you can use the brake master from a gsl..since your getting a gsl rear anyway. cant remember how to do the e brake..

:AA:

 

ends up its a -se rear but had no brakes. so this should be an adventure haha
