Not sure if this will help anyone but this is what I did. Purchased a VLSD cheap (just the guts). Installed it in my R200. Got 2 output shafts 5 bolt from 92 300z and 4 axles. Made some adapters to go to the wheel side then cut and resplined the axles (27 splined). I have not driven the car yet but I think it should work. Here are a few pics

Congrats!!!!! It sounds truley awesome. It makes me want to drive mine even more I'm shooting for around friday for the first ride

All I know is that in 2005 Harley Davidson switched to dot 4 because they offer anti skid brakes now and dot 4 handles the heat better

I am close to starting the LS1, it had 39k on it and I don't know when it was started last. What steps should I take before starting it ? Thanks in advance

First get the JTR book its priceless when first starting and will save you alot of cash on mistakes. I did my 350/700R4 for about 3k it ran well but I can't seem to leave well enough alone . LS1/T56 is about a week away from having some serious fun but I'm in to it about 7k and thats me doing all the work. So as always it comes down to the mighty dollar.

Thanks Guys....Yes its Johns Kit. Its very well thought out. If I had known you were going to Hot Antioch Nites I would have gone to see your car. I didn't go just because I wanted to enjoy the heat in my driveway while I worked on the Z.( it was soooo Hot) Got the cold air intake and some wiring done plus some little stuff. I got my comp & harness back tonite but instead of installing it I had to put a altenator in my commutor(Harley). Sunday sounds good also.

Thanks Mike, I see we are neighbors. We will have to hook up soon .I might need to pick your brain on a few details if you don't mind ?

I figure two weeks . Still have the driveline and cross member to install.Waiting on my computer and wire harness ( should have it this week).And waiting you my axles to get resplined.That's to drive it will still need some refining Im sure

Well it was atleast 100 degrees today but I was still able to drop the LS1 in . I put a picture in the garage of my progress .I couldnt figure out how to post it here.

Very nice job, The extra detail really shows keep up the good work

Yea I used a floor jack and got what I think was perpendicular . Thanks that helped

Does anyone know how to meassure for rear axle length ? I converted to CV (made my own adapters at the wheel) and using two inner CV. So with both tulips inplace where should I meassure from Anyone know ? Thanks in advance

Looks nice your a bit farther then me. Are those JCI mounts? I'm still waiting on mine. you Use the stock LS1 harness ?

I read most of the posts on LS1 and didn't see anyone useing a 2000 or later truck altenator bracket which puts the unit high on the drivers side. Was wondering why not or is there a better place for it?

Ditto on the Vin #Its not like its a stolen car you would have titles on both cars

Well I finally recieved my LS1/T56 yesterday and it looks very nice not a wire cut or connector broke. Now pull the 350/700R4 and install the LS1. Waiting for John's mounts to arrive. Any one use JTR LS1 headers ? Also whats is the best edit tool to use ? P.S. will be selling the old set up dirt cheap 350/700R4,JTR mounts and what ever else I can't use

Looks sweet .. We need to hook up when you get her running . I'm in Oakley about 20 miles from you and also have a 73 V8

Yes it can be done you would need the output shafts from the vlsd they are special

Start with the JTR manual its will pay for its self many times over. Read it 3 or 4 times and then I think you will have a good idea of what you will need and want. He makes it easy for the first timer.But you seem to be on the right track . And you don't want a computer controled trany just a 700 R4.
