new car w/busted diff.

Hello, I'm new to the forums here and to 240s. I should be getting one in the next few days if the deal goes through. Pretty cheap but it's got a busted rear differential. Owner left it in a parking lot to rot . I've never had to deal with one of these things before, only worked on FWD cars. I've got access to a parts car nearby so getting a differential wont be a problem. I couldn't find in the search so, is there any difference in the differentials between years, or automatic to manual? The car I'll be getting is 5 speed, the parts car is automatic. The car I'm getting is a 92 and by my limited 240 knowledge I think the parts car is a 90 or 91. Also how much does the diff weigh? (I'm going to be attempting this in the parking lot)

I'm not sure I was looking for a answer to a very similar question myself and have not had any luck. S14 rear diff fit into a S13

Guess I'll be finding out then. And to the practicality of a parking lot replacement Anything I should know about removing the diffs on these cars? looks pretty straight forward to me.

Update... 91 240sx Auto Differential is exactly the same as the 93s manual diff, no modification needed.
