Joy Division did'nt influence the rave scene but New Order who rose from JD's ashes certainly did influence rave and Manchester based music re dance beats being used into a guitar based template. So this gave rise to bands such as Spacemonkeys and Happy Mondays etc.

Joy Division influenced the Post Punk era a lot more with their potent atmosphere and brooding lyrics.

Our fellow Mancunian Right-Track could add a better explanation possibly.
