Good chance of that, they are available in GM cars from 86 through to 97, aswell as Australian fords from 81 through to 98. Also Australian delivered Nissan Skylines 86-88. The particular one i used is from a 87 Skyline as it is the same width as the Torana diff from the factory.
The good thing about so many cars sharing this diff is there is a multitude of gears and centres available including aftermarket like LOKKA/TrueTrac/Kaaz
