Yours wont be a JA, that's for the Australian models only. If NZ-new it will be a clone of the Euro-spec Starion or it will be a Jap import. Both are A183A models. Both will have 4 bolt driveshafts so as long as the diff from a USA '87 flatbody has four bolt driveshafts you will be fine if you use both the diff and torque tube which suits.

Hi.Yes my Starion is a 83 N.Z New EX.That all I need to know.

It shouldn't cost much as i'm getting the shipping for free from USA to New Zealand(work perk) :drool:

Yes it should fit your axles. To double check, have the seller pull the shafts, measure the diameter and count the splines. Then compare against what you have.

HaHa.Trust me I would if I could.They can just squeeze the diff on top of the pallet we're getting from the USA.It took a bit of convincing the boss(Hasseling the crap out of him) :D

Hi Mate, yes your ja 4 bolt shafts should fit, Oscar supplied the USA widey torque tube to match a large type LSD I found locally, all bolted strait in.
