Have any of you guys replaced your LSD's? I always see "For longer wear!" when companies talk about their LSD's, but I've never really heard of anyone replacing theirs because it wore out. And instead of buying a Kaaz 2-way, I was thinking about just finding a VLSD from a J30 or something. It's cheaper.

 

A lot of the guys here are driving cars with an open diff and are looking to get a vlsd or a lsd.

I can see wear and tear on a lsd that is not properly taken care of. It is like your engine. It needs its oil changed periodically.

A VLSD is a great option. I wrote up a little tech post on VLSD vs. 2 way differentials from my own experience and will be posting it here very soon.

 

No, I meant like, what happens if your LSD wears too much? Just it just stop locking up and act like an open diff?

 

I have seen people come off a course with one wheel spinning more than the other. Open up their diff cover and take out kibbles and bits.

 

***edit***
I posted this as a new thread in this forum, hoping for faster responses. Not trying to be impatient; just want my lsd asap!


Ok, I'm posting this quick 'cause I'm about to go to work. I figured I'll just ask my question here 'cause it seems the thread is already started.....

I finally have the money for and LSD and I've been lookin around for different ones. I have about $1k, so I think I can afford most all of them. I think I'll be trying the install myself or with friends. But I'm not sure with which one to go with. I'm not really racing or anything, but I've decided on a 2way just because I want it working all the time when I want it to and it seems they're a little more responsive. So here are my choices(in no order) and the prices I've found:

1.Nismo LSD
$834.06
4-pinion, 70lb-ft breakaway torque
(but is it a 2way?)

2. Cusco LSD
$950
but no details on if it's a 2way

3. Kaaz LSD
$895
2way 16 multiplate clutch

3.5 Kaaz LSD
$774
2way, but possibly not the new model (less plates)

4. Tomei LSD
$895
2way, 10 friction plate discs per side

5. Tomei LSD
$950
12 discs per side

6. ATS LSD
Just from what I read from Stan. Sounds about the same price......

So any ideas on which to go for?
Thanks

 

dont mean to thread jack, but are j30 vlsds bolt on...or what ones are, also what would i have to do inorder to install it, if theres a link i could not find it so please help, i have my car on jackstands right now due to having an oil leak so if i could find a vlsd id like to install it now thanks,
jon

 

go for a kaaz 1.5 way or something. cusco makes good ones definantly.
try tomei too

 

dont get nismo-all their lsds are made by hitachi and they just rework the inside
go with kaaz or tomei

 

what about phantom grip LSD i read about it in the begining of the post and no one talked about it again.......are they that bad
