Default rear end

where is the main problem for the rear end taking a shit. Now is it the axles? the differential housing? the internal gears. or just the whole assembly.
I want to start drifting it and enter events, But I understand like any car made changes will need to be done. Where do I start on the rear end build?

The whole diff is weak. The bearing caps are the main problem though.

best option to avoid failure? don't drift/race

how to beef up the diff to take abuse? r200 conversion, ford conversion, puddymod diff (most plug and play application)

This is correct. From what I remember, the caps tend to stretch under repeated abuse. The OEM crush sleeve (collar, whatever ) isn't to great either.
