If you don't have money for a used stock diff you will not be able to afford to put anything else in there in it's place. Fitting another cars differential into one it did not come out of requires fabrication that can cost lots more than the rear it’s self.

I build rears for our car and I do ship to AU. You are welcome to PM me, maybe I can help you out

Did I lose anything? Well... no it is still a 4:10 diff but I am a bit worried because we couldn't get the backlash set correctly. My father (prior Porsche/Audi mechanic and F16 Fighter Jet mechanic) my good buddy (mechanic 10+ years) helped me do the install and they were a bit worried about the results. But no issues yet and I've put probably close to 2,000 mi on it. I would listen to Puddydad, he really does know what he is talking about.
