Subaru and Datsun 510 do share a diff that is similar. I believe the diff is 
manufactured by Hitachi Heavy Industry's. Outward appearances are the same and 
when they first appeared in Subaru's they were the same on the inside, right 
down to the clutch type LSD. Over the course of time, up to today, Subaru's 
still uses the same diff case but has changed to viscous LSD (not good in this 
case for racing) and changed the way the stub axles are retained so the side 
plate and ring carrier is different. One of the websites out there details 
installing the Datsun/Subaru diff in a GT6/Spitfire. Do a google search.
